Paul Rudd really wanted to do the new Anaconda movie just to work with Jack Black again. Rudd called Black a personal hero and an old hunk of love. The two actors play filmmakers in this action comedy, which is about friends trying to remake the nineteen ninety seven jungle snake film. Their characters head to the Amazon rainforest only to get chased by a giant anaconda. Rudd also mentioned liking his other co-stars, Steve Zahn and Thandiwe Newton.
Black agreed the project felt personal since they were basically playing themselves as dream-chasing movie makers. He said that feeling matched his real-life experience starting any film. This movie marks the first time Rudd and Black have been the main leads together, despite small shared roles in comedies like Anchorman and Walk Hard. Rudd loved finally watching Black work up close on set.
Rudd said everyone on set admired Black, who impressed him by being genuinely kind to every person he met. He found it inspiring to see Black give everyone a positive interaction, regardless of who they were. The film is scheduled for a Christmas release.
