Anaconda is returning! Sony is said to be looking to reboot the horror franchise for a new audience. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sony has turned to Tomb Raider's Evan Daugherty to write the screenplay. THR's sources are specifically describing the film as a "reimagining" of the original concept rather than a sequel or remake. Their sources point to the 2018 Jason Statham movie The Meg as a model for the new Anaconda, suggesting a more action-oriented approach this time -- and maybe even a much bigger serpent this time around. The original Anaconda hit theaters in 1997.
