Jack Black, Paul Rudd goof off at ‘Anaconda’ premiere

The cast and filmmakers of the original comedy adventure “Anaconda” took the spotlight at the film’s world premiere Dec. 13 at the United Theater on Broadway in Los Angeles.

A giant anaconda figure also appeared at the premiere, peeking over the top of the photo wall as the cast posed with it.

Stars Paul Rudd and Jack Black smiled for cameras alongside Daniela Melchior, Steve Zahn, Thandiwe Newton and Selton Mello.

The cast continued the playful promotion at a London photocall, where Black and Rudd wore matching outfits.

“Anaconda” opens in Philippine cinemas on Jan. 8.

The film’s synopsis emphasizes that the project is not a reboot.

“It is an entirely original comedy, inspired by the cinematic ‘classic’ Anaconda, that features Doug (Jack Black) and Griff (Paul Rudd), who have been best friends since they were kids and always dreamed of remaking their all-time favorite movie.”

“When a midlife crisis pushes them to finally go for it, they head deep into the Amazon to start filming.”

“But things get real when an actual giant anaconda appears, turning their comically chaotic movie set into a deadly situation.”
