Anaconda was one of the better “Giant Creature Movies” we were introduced to in the late 90s. Of course this was in comparison to other cinematic gems such as Lake Placid and later in ’02 with 8 Legged Freaks. But the idea of a giant snake eating people was pretty decent.
So decent in fact, that they are planning on continuing the tradition with TWO more confirmed Anaconda movies. But that isn’t the best part!
the back-to-back cheapie sequels will star none other than (ready?) David Hasselhoff! Yep, the Hoff will be starring as the hero in a pair of Anaconda sequels. (Logic dictates that Dave does NOT get eaten by a giant snake in the third film.) Co-starring in Anaconda 3: The Offspring will be Crystal Allen, Zoltan Butuc and (who else?) John Rhys-Davies.
Don E. FauntLeRoy is being promoted from his established track record of Steven Segal movies to helm these inevitable canned gold endeavours.
I can hardly wait to see if this movie is the cheese factory that nearly anything Hasselhoff touches.
