Tom Gormican, director of the 2025 film 'Anaconda,' explains how a last-minute cameo by Jennifer Lopez was achieved through late-stage reshoots and the film's meta, genre-blending approach, which reimagines the 1997 snake movie with humor and horror elements. The film features surprise appearances from legacy actors and reflects on the industry's reliance on IP and reboots, with Gormican expressing hope for more original filmmaking in the future.
