Well, for starters I'm currently in college for Video Production and CGI Coordinator of Ethics. I'm also in an English class for scripting.
Thus far, I have a script 72 pages done of a new take on the Anaconda world. It's far better I think.
I was wondering, of your guys' opinion, if this should be another movie in the monstrocity of a series, or should this be a fresh start?
I know Anaconda is apoorly made movie. So are the 'sequels', but I feel this new take I have will be an extraordinary thrill.
Benefits?
Death's aren't as predictable. Seventeen people have died thus far in that 72 pages as mentioned before. And - It's not something like man-slaughter just for the bloody gore scenes (like the 3rd and 4th)
There is a rather strong-hearted girl for the lead. That b!tch in the 3rd and 4th edition, wasn't a "ripley" (not that that's what I'm aiming for, but I love to compare strengths to Weaveralways)
The lead is a girl we can actually confine in. The beginning of this perhapsed movie, she is a simple loving mother and wife. Later, she becomes the strong-hearted bada$$ everyone enjoys to see.
The threat of "more" has always been the main code of ethics in these snake movies. But - my movie is only consistant with one beep I know everyone believes more than one is better. But - they've ALL been killed too easily in my opinion. My one could out-do anything you throw at it.
Killer ending. Just because I haven't written it, doesn't mean I don't know what I want. It takes time to write of all the video shots, etc. Anyways - my ending is unstoppably insatiable. It's something to die for. Even Good Morning America, who I talked to to sponser the movie, said my pitch of an ending was "out of this world" and I quote them. I'm not going to say anything about it, spoilers aren't my thing. But I will say this every snake movie I've seen, they can't kill the snake with a multiple rounds of ammunition, but somehow they manage to work something out in the end. That's insane. And - something I'm avoiding. Definitely.
So, now then I want you to comment, quote, etc on anything. Plus - answer my question about a sequel or a new series. If I decide on a new-series, I'm thinking of MUTATION as the title.
P.S. The snakes aren't goverment made. Or made by a plant (Andaconda 2 reference). I hate using the same idea over and over. Every snake movie thus far had something to do with a goverment plan. That's justidiotic. And boring nonetheless. -

No.
The first one is a good film I remberber fondly from my childhood, and should never be remade/rebooted because no remake/reboot could ever be any where near as good.
Second one is watchable but not brilliant, havn't seen the third or fourth but have just bought the box set of all four, i only wanted the first one which was 7 but the full set was only 10 so i thought y not. -

On one hand, I think you ought to spend your time developing a
new
idea to bring to the silver screen instead of continuing this "unnecessary remake/reboot" craze that's swept Hollywood.
On the other hand,
because
of this "unnecessary remake/reboot" craze, it might just be the only way you could get your name out there.
I say take the risk these weak-sauce film companies aren't willing to take: develop a new idea, everyone's got a bad aftertaste in their mouths from all of the crap from the past decade and if you truly want your vision to be appreciated to it's fullest I suggest you wait until the dust settles. -

That's a terrible title. It should be called "slightly above average snake".
And I agree with the other poster. The first Anaconda was a decent film for its day. If you like movies like
Deep Blue Sea
and
Lake Placid
, then you'll enjoy Anaconda. The second one was a let down because the special effects, which should have been better, seemed worse than the first movie. -

sorry dude but the idea kinda sucks especially the whole woman starting off as a mother, then becomes a bad ass..that is a clicheYou always see characters that start off being this way and in the end after going through some sort of a life changing experience becomes a whole new person in the endingno offense but it sounds like a b movie..a bad b movie..but like some other person posted below..try to develop a whole new idea..Anaconda was a good enough movieno reboots are actually necessary..

No, it's copyrighted. You can't just make a new Matrix movie unless you only plan to show it to a few friends or of it so terrible bad the people behind Matrix won't notice it. It's not possible to just continue a series without contacting the owners.
