Voight ( Heat, Mission: Impossible) had made a career out of playing villains, and he leaned into that as Anaconda's deranged baddie, ultimately helping cement the film's cult status. Starring alongside Lopez, Ice Cube, and Voight was Kari Wuhrer, Eric Stoltz, veteran character actor Jonathan Hyde, and Owen Wilson in his first major big-screen role. Insiders speaking exclusively to THR went so far as to say that "the title has proved to be one of the most profitable in Sony's library" - because, as it turns out, B-movies about giant killer snakes can be a lot of fun. In spite of the hostile critical reaction, though, the film grossed $136 million worldwide on a budget of $45 million, and spawned a two-decade-long franchise. The big-snake thriller even earned six Razzie Award nominations (including Worst Onscreen Couple for star Jon Voight and the anaconda).

When the movie hit theaters, the venomous critical response - as evidenced now by the B-movie's disappointing 40% Tomatometer rating - looked like it might strangle its box office performance. The reboot announcement might be a head-scratcher to those who remember the buzz around Anaconda's release two decades ago. The creature feature is still in the early development stages and no producer is attached, but according to The Hollywood Reporter, Evan Daugherty has been hired to write the script. The screenwriter has worked on several major franchise reboots in the last decade, from 2014's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to 2018's Tomb Raider.
