"Guess what it is?" Rudd continues, before Black says, "Paul Rudd and Jack Black star in the 'Anaconda!'"
Black then says the film will have a big snake and that "it's going to rip!"
"You want to get scared? You want to laugh? You want to celebrate with your friends? Or maybe you're alone and sad and have nobody but just want to forget about that," Rudd adds before sharing the film's 2025 release date.
"Come see our movie, 'Anaconda!'" Black adds.
The duo end their video with Black asking Rudd if he saw the snake for the film yet before they head off screen to see it.
Tom Gormican and Kevin Etten wrote the script for the upcoming movie, and Gormican will be directing, according to a description of the film. The two previously partnered as co-writers, with Gormican as director, on the film "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent," starring Nicolas Cage and Pedro Pascal.
Brad Fuller and Andrew Form also join the film as producers.

Details about the film's plot are still under wraps.
The first "Anaconda" movie, an adventure horror film, was released in 1997 and was directed by Luis Llosa. It starred Jon Voight, Jennifer Lopez, Eric Stoltz, Ice Cube and Owen Wilson. The film followed a National Geographic film crew "taken hostage by a hunter who forces them along on his quest to capture the world's largest and deadliest snake," according to a description of the film.
Several "Anaconda" films with new cast members followed, including "Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid" in 2004, "Anaconda 3: Offspring" in 2008 and "Anacondas: Trail of Blood" in 2009.
"Anaconda," starring Black and Rudd, will slither into theaters Dec. 25, 2025.
