Ice Cube, who first starred in the original 1997 creature thriller, has confirmed a nostalgic cameo in
Sony Pictures’ new meta-horror comedy remake of "
Anaconda," revealed during its
Los Angeles premiere and framed as a full-circle moment in his career nearly three decades later. The reboot, written and directed by
Tom Gormican and starring
Paul Rudd and
Jack Black as lifelong friends who head into the Amazon to remake their favorite film only to be terrorized by a real giant
anaconda, blends self-referential humor, horror and action while teasing additional star power from
Thandiwe Newton,
Daniela Melchior,
Selton Mello and
Steve Zahn ahead of its Christmas theatrical release.
