What to expect from Anaconda?
Anaconda claims to be a meta-comedy drama that plays on the idea of making a movie within a movie. It's not a direct sequel to the 1997 classic, but a story about a group of characters inspired by the original movie. The two filmmakers travel to the Amazon to shoot their movie, but budget issues and production problems force them to shoot in 'guerrilla style', which leads them to the real giant snake.
The meta-comedy in this Anaconda reboot aims to mock the filmmaking process itself and also poke fun at the original classic movie. The comedy tone is highlighted with Hollywood's sense of artistic importance colliding with the low-budget reality of the two filmmakers to make a movie.
