We’ve got hold of a few more details of the new Anaconda movie, with slight spoilers – and new casting information too.
Potential spoilers lie ahead for the new Anaconda.
Sony is investing more and more in its planned reboot of the Anaconda movie series, which continues to take shape.
Debuting in 1997 – with Jon Voight’s sneer and a massive snake, all under the watchful eye of director Luis Llosa – Anaconda was a solid hit. Still, its subsequent sequels and crossovers never troubled the inside of a cinema.
However, the new reboot – which has been active since early 2020 – is heading for the big screen, and has attracted a notably comic cast.
Jack Black and Paul Rudd were early additions, and joining now is Daniela Melchior in what Deadline reports is in an ‘unknown’ role. We’ve got a bit of info on that, however.

Earlier this year, the news broke that Columbia Pictures is planning to squeeze new life out of the Anaconda franchise, with The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent director Tom Gormican set to helm a reimagining of the 1997 giant snake horror movie.
Paul Rudd and Jack Black have now been confirmed to play the lead roles, and according to Deadline, Daniela Melchior has also joined the cast.
Melchior was most recently seen in the Road House remake, and also made a memorable appearance as Cleo Cazo, aka Ratcatcher 2, in James Gunn's The Suicide Squad.
Gormican will also co-write the script with collaborator Kevin Etten.
The project is said to have been in development at the studio since early 2023, and has gone through numerous rewrites as the "filmmaker and Columbia tried to find the right balance of tones."

Exclusive: After landing Paul Rudd and Jack Black to star, the new Anaconda pic at Sony Pictures is building on its ensemble as Road House star Daniela Melchior is set to join the cast on the new take of the 90s cult classic. The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent writers Tom Gormican and Kevin Etten penned the script, with Gormican planning to direct. Brad Fuller and Andrew Form are producing through Fully Formed banner.
The studio had no comment.
The original 1997 thriller starred Jennifer Lopez, Jon Voight, Owen Wilson and Ice Cube and followed a National Geographic-esque film crew that is taken hostage by an insane hunter, who forces them along on his quest to capture the world’s largest and deadliest snake, an anaconda. The film overperformed at the box office, bringing in $145 million globally including $65 million domestically. It also provided Lopez and Cube with a box office hit early in their careers.

Until a few years ago, any video game adaptation felt like a bad investment for studios, as comic book properties were being adapted left and right, and everybody seemed to be keen on developing their own cinematic universe a la the MCU.

However, come the success of films like Sonic the Hedgehog and The Super Mario Bros. Movie, it has become the case that studios want to take chances with video game properties once more. Even on the small screen, there seems to be a lot of quality that is being put out, with shows like Arcane, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, or even Castlevania. While these shows and films have re-instated gamers’ willingness to trust Hollywood, A Minecraft Movie might just be on its way to hurting gamers once more.

The early 2010s were a fantastic and experimental time for television and film, where romantic comedies took the spotlight, and quirky character-driven shows were taking off. Within that mix came How I Met Your Mother, a series that somehow tiptoed the line between humor and heartache, wrapped in a seemingly endless parade of “Legend-wait for it-ary” catchphrases. The show had an undeniable charm, but its success was by no means guaranteed from the start.

Few could predict just how iconic one of its key players, Neil Patrick Harris’s Barney Stinson, would become. His role as the sharp-dressed, overly confident, womanizing character had audiences hooked, but Harris himself wasn’t so sure about taking the role. And yet, looking back at how he landed the job, it feels like an echo of those awkward, unsure moments we all experienced.

In the world of video games, Minecraft surely has a large fan following. And based on this, fans were taken by surprise when a movie adapted from the game was announced by Warner Bros. To add more intrigue, actor Jason Momoa was also roped in to play the lead Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison.

Throughout her nearly 4 decades-long career, Kate Winslet’s journey has been marked by remarkable talent, dedication, and resilience. From her breakout role in the 1994 film, Heavenly Creatures to becoming a global icon with the 1997 film, Titanic, the actress has built herself quite a versatile career. However, it might have never been possible without some help from her former co-star and close friend, Emma Thompson. With the two having played sisters in the adaptation of Jane Austen’s book, Sense and Sensibility, they wound up having a rather tight-knit bond.

Since its release in 2022, Elden Ring has captured the hearts of millions of players with its immersive storytelling, intricate narrative threads, and even more engaging gameplay mechanics, which will punish them if they are not extra careful. With the popularity of the game and various live-action video game adaptations recently, it is sooner rather than later that it will also get an adaptation.

Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele made sketch comedy cool again for the first time since Chappelle’s Show went off the air. And although relatively short-lived with just over 50 episodes across five seasons, it left its mark and stands as one of the best cult sketch shows ever. But long gone are those days of Key & Peele, both the show and the duo.
This is something that still bugs Keegan-Michael Key, who told People, “We don’t see each other that often anymore. Which is, to me, a tragedy.” As for why Key & Jordan Peele don’t hang out, it comes down to simply moving on and finding new interests. “Your lives start to evolve and move in different directions.

While Robert Downey Jr’s career was largely dictated by his association with the MCU in the 2010s, his brilliance as Tony Stark is only one aspect of the actor’s expertise in the medium. Being a recipient of three Oscar nods, Rdj hasn’t shied away from putting his abilities to the test, whether it be mastering the Australian accent for Tropic Thunder or the British one for Sherlock Holmes.

Jason Momoa rose to global fame in ‘Game of Thrones’ as Khal Drogo, even though the actor took part in several hit series such as ‘Baywatch Hawaii’ and ‘Stargate Atlantis.’ Though his character’s time on the show was short (appearing mostly in the first season), his powerful portrayal of Drogo left a lasting impact and the doors of Hollywood opened.
Besides ‘Game of Thrones,’ Momoa is most famous for starring in ‘Aquaman’ in the ill-fated Dceu, and some recent reports state that he might return as Lobo in the newly formed Dcu.
But, while we’re waiting for some kind of news regarding Lobo, Momoa is working on ‘A Minecraft Movie.’ The cast includes Jack Black as Steve, Jason Momoa as Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison, Emma Myers as Natalie, Danielle Brooks as Dawn, and Sebastian Eugene Hansen as Henry. Additionally, Jennifer Coolidge, Kate McKinnon, Jemaine Clement, and Matt Berry...

Jason Momoa has quite a reputation in Hollywood as a sweetheart. Although his role as Aquaman does not reflect this sentiment, his recent casting in the Minecraft live-action film and adorably psychotic character in Fast X showcase just how precious he can be. From his interviews and fan interactions, he has formed a beloved sort of image for himself, being overtly masculine but extremely kind-hearted and thoughtful.

However, it would seem that this ‘goody two shoes’ image seems to be slipping through his grasp as he knows it. Recently, respected YouTuber, Valkyrae, revealed an interaction that she witnessed between the actor and a crew member on the set of his upcoming film. To say that he does not look good coming out of it would be an understatement.

Video Game adaptations are rising up in popularity again and WB decided to jump on the opportunity and make ‘A Minecraft Movie’ based on the popular game released back in 2011.
The first trailer was recently released, and the feedback was not ideal, it certainly wasn’t something that WB expected, despite having a stellar cast.
The cast includes Jack Black as Steve, Jason Momoa as Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison, Emma Myers as Natalie, Danielle Brooks as Dawn, and Sebastian Eugene Hansen as Henry. Additionally, Jennifer Coolidge, Kate McKinnon, Jemaine Clement, and Matt Berry have been cast in undisclosed roles.

The trailer for Warner Bros. Pictures’ A Minecraft Movie was dropped recently and it’s safe to say that the community found the entire project embarrassing. The budget for the film is reportedly $200 million, and fans believe that Warner Bros. Pictures should save that money and invest it into smaller studios who are talented enough to create a movie based on the franchise.

One such example is Element Animation, a studio from England, who have created various Minecraft animation videos. There are plenty of creative animated videos out there that show how diehard fans of the franchise would make their own version of the Minecraft movie. Industry giants should definitely acknowledge these small creators instead of chasing another video game movie that feels like cashgrab.

Gina Carano has recently been in the media spotlight not for her acting career but due to her ongoing dispute with her former employer, Disney. Carano, who previously starred as Cara Dune on the hit show The Mandalorian and was rumored to have a spinoff in the works, saw her career take a turn when she made offensive comparisons between Covid-19 measures and the Holocaust on social media.
Her issues with Disney were further compounded when she refused to include pronouns in her X (formerly Twitter) bio, claiming she was subjected to a “re-education camp.” Consequently, her contract was not renewed.
After losing her role on The Mandalorian and a potential spinoff, Gina Carano decided to sue Disney, seeking damages or reinstatement. She claims she was fired due to her political views, which she argues constitutes discrimination. Elon Musk is financing the lawsuit, and Carano recently achieved a small but...

"Minecraft" is, without exaggeration, the best-selling game in the history of video games. It is so wildly popular that it was an inevitability that Hollywood would one day come calling. That day has finally come: "A Minecraft Movie" is hitting theaters in 2025. We recently got a look at the first trailer for the film, which is a live-action interpretation of the wildly popular sandbox game, and to say that the internet was vocal in sharing thoughts on the trailer would be an understatement. Well, now someone has taken it upon themselves to show us what could have been, by giving that trailer the animated treatment.
Twitter user Alumio recently uploaded an animated version of the very same trailer that Warner Bros. released last week. Same voices. Same shots. Same everything else, only animated instead of live-action. As of this writing, the animated version of the trailer has 10.7 million viewers and nearly 300,000 likes.

Remember when the Sonic the Hedgehog movie received immense backlash, and the studio had to put the project in reverse? They had to redesign Sonic back to his humble, cartoonish appearance instead of the monstrosity we saw before. Yeah, democracy is a fun thing, and it can make studios do a lot of things. To be honest, studios that learn to please the audience rarely do bad business. So why not?

We’ve seen fan movements make or break movies, bringing a director’s cut back from the dead, and getting the fan service they want with appearances, cameos, and more. Now, we can observe the beginnings of another such fan movement—this time for the new Minecraft movie starring Jason Momoa and Jack Black. A fan just recreated the entire trailer for A Minecraft Movie in animation, and it’s being preferred over the “live-action” version.

The first time I saw Christopher Walken on-screen was as villainous industrialist Max Shreck in Tim Burton's "Batman Returns." That performance stayed with me simply because Walken seemed to play quietly menacing with as much ease as Jack Nicholson plays unhinged. That is to say that villainy seemed to come a little too easily to Walken, who throughout Burton's nightmare expressionist fairytale discovered new facets of odiousness with each successive scene.
32 years after "Batman Returns" debuted, however, Walken's filmography clearly speaks to the man's range. Walken is great at playing villains, but he's proven over the decades that he's capable of so much more. From his role as Frank Abagnale Sr. in Steven Spielberg's "Catch Me If You Can" — for which he was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar — to his portrayal of Corporal Nikanor Chevotarevich in Michael Cimino's "The Deer Hunter" — for which he...
