Best friends forever, or until one of them gets eaten. Get ready for a hilariously good time in Anaconda, a comedy adventure starring genre superstars Jack Black and Paul Rudd. Anaconda is directed by Tom Gornican, and also stars Steve Zahn, Thandiwe Newton, Daniela Melchior and Selton Mello.

Childhood best friends Doug (Jack Black) and Griff (Paul Rudd) are going through a shared midlife crisis, pushing them into fulfilling a lifelong dream: shooting a remake of their all time favorite film: Anaconda. Heading deep into the Amazon, all bets are off once an actual giant anaconda appears, and comedy ensues as they try to escape a deadly situation.

One of the core components for co-writer Kevin Etten and co-writer-director Tom Gornician in making the comedy adventure Anaconda is getting actors who can face a truly terrifying situation while still keeping things fun.  “Tom and I have done this kind of ‘comedy under duress’ before, in which we take people who are wildly unequipped to handle the situations in which they land. We throw the craziest obstacles at them, and let them be idiots, while letting them play the real fear of the situation. We wanted to stay as far away as we could from winking at the danger and not feeling the stakes, and to feel as real as possible,” Etten explains.

They felt that they truly hit the jackpot with Jack Black and Paul Rudd, with Thandiwe Newton, Steve Zahn, Daniela Melchior and Selton Mello to support them. “Jack, Paul, Thandiwe, Steve, Selton, and Daniela all have such great comedic instincts,” Etten continues. “They always played it real but knew how to tweak that just a little bit to get a big laugh.”

Get to know the characters of “A Minecraft Movie,” starring Jason Momoa and Jack Black, now showing in cinemas!

“When you play the game Minecraft, it’s a total community,” says “A Minecraft Movie” director Jared Hess. “There’s so many people that play it worldwide all the time, and the friendships that you make in the game are lasting.”

Even though “A Minecraft Movie” tells one story, it is just one out of endless possible other stories, which is part of what makes the world of Minecraft so appealing and endearing to many. “The crazy thing about the game is that when you play the game, there’s no story,” continues Hess. “Anyone who plays it – and there are billions of players worldwide – creates their own story when they play the game. So, there are billions of stories out there, and this is one Minecraft story. It’s absurd, it’s funny, it’s just one of the most outrageous adventure movies you’ll ever see.”
