There is some debate about the maximum size of Anacondas and there have been unverified claims of enormous snakes alleged to be as long as 30 – 45 metres (98.4 – 147.6 feet). The Latin name for Anaconda is ‘Eunectes’ meaning ‘good swimmer’. Anacondas as members of the boa family are sometimes called ‘water boas’. Local names for the Anaconda in South America include the Spanish term ‘matatoro’, meaning ‘bull killer’, and the Native American terms ‘sucuri’ and ‘yakumama’. It is likely due to its vague similarity to the large Asian pythons. It is unclear how the name originated so far from the snakes native habitat. The Yellow Anaconda can be found as far south as Argentina. Either a cosmic nanar and an honorable attempt, but failed to reconnect with the old-fashioned adventure, both violently showered at the box office.Anacondas are four species of aquatic boa inhabiting the swamps and rivers of the dense forests of tropical South America. Among them, the most notable are undoubtedly Congo, adapted from the novelist Michael Crichton, already creator of a certain Jurassic park, as well as Shadow and Prey. As a result, several films showcasing a few of these ingredients, with comfortable budgets and top-notch cast, will see the light of day. Great adventure, exotic setting, even luxuriant, nasty beasts with the supple stomach wall, the majors hope to use these ingredients (in the absence of Steven Spielberg’s dinosaurs, too expensive and identified). Indeed, the shock Jurassic Park, which devoured the box office, revolutionizing the use of digital effects still in its infancy in Hollywood, inspired the studios. And if the time will come soon to approach these (surrealist) wanderings, the feature film is likely to gameller, so much it happens after some failed Hollywood attempts. When comes out Anaconda, directed by Luis Llosa (who has since converted to production, far from Hollywood), the box office may not be unfavorable to him (he raised more than 136 million dollars for a budget of 45), the press and the public do not make a quarter, as the feature film seems dated, missed, irrelevant.

Until the “saga” Sharknado cynically takes advantage of a certain deviant love of cinema and grindhouse relaunched by Quentin Tarantino and web culture, by dedicating predators as sources of thick gags aimed at dormant career actors.Ī few years earlier, a generous, gluttonous, popular film, halfway between craftsmanship and modernity, found itself at the exact crossroads of worlds, between the generous old-fashioned adventure and the fraudulent nanar full of digital. So much so that voracious critters were soon the preserve of ultra-broke films, taking advantage of the democratization of hazardous digital effects.
