A star-studded premiere with a giant surprise

The cast and filmmakers of the original comedy adventure Anaconda made a lively splash at the film’s world premiere last December 13 at the iconic United Theater on Broadway in Los Angeles, California. The evening was packed with laughter, flashing cameras, and one unforgettable guest—a giant anaconda figure cheekily peering from the top of the photowall.

Naturally, the oversized snake became an instant crowd favorite, with the cast playfully posing alongside it. Leading the cheerful chaos were Paul Rudd and Jack Black, who brought their trademark charm and easygoing chemistry to the red carpet.

They were joined by fellow cast members Daniela Melchior, Steve Zahn, Thandiwe Newton, and Selton Mello, all glowing as they celebrated the film’s big moment. The atmosphere felt energetic and positive, setting the perfect tone for a movie that thrives on humor, friendship, and wild adventure.

Matching outfits, maximum charm in London

The fun didn’t stop in Hollywood. Just days later, Rudd and Black took their antics overseas for the Anaconda photocall at Claridge’s on December 19, 2025, in London, England—and they arrived with a delightful surprise.

The comedy duo stepped out in matching jumpsuits, complete with their names embroidered on the tags, instantly stealing the spotlight. The playful fashion choice drew laughter from fans and photographers alike, reinforcing the film’s lighthearted spirit and the duo’s undeniable chemistry.

An original adventure with bite

But their already chaotic production takes a dangerous turn when an actual giant anaconda appears—transforming their passion project into a high-stakes fight for survival. What unfolds is a powerful mix of comedy, courage, and unexpected heart.

Critically Acclaimed “The Legend of Hei II” Brings Stunning Animation and Heart to PH Cinemas on January 21

When Peace Shatters, Destiny Awakens

Hidden deep within the mountains, the Elfin Guild has long stood as a symbol of balance and serenity—until a sudden explosion rips through its peaceful walls. The attack leaves devastating losses among the Guild’s enforcers, forcing its leader, Da Song, to personally enter the fray. Amid the chaos, an unexpected revelation emerges: a familiar figure appears among the enemies, hinting at a conflict far more personal than anyone imagined.

Elsewhere, far from the destruction, Hei continues his quiet routine of training and study in his village under the watchful eye of his master, Wuxian. Hei’s command over spatial abilities is improving at a remarkable pace, though the power remains unstable. When Wuxian receives an urgent summons from the Headquarters Guild—his first mission in a long while—he decides to bring Hei along, unknowingly setting the stage for a life-changing journey.

A World Beyond Imagination

Traveling alongside his master, Hei can hardly contain his excitement. Along the way, he witnesses the immense respect Wuxian commands among the Guild’s enforcers, and to his surprise, that respect extends to him as well. Upon arriving at the Headquarters, Hei is left in awe. The grand hall reveals a thriving world where humans and spirits live and work together in harmony, each playing a vital role in maintaining balance.

Yet beneath the grandeur and unity lies a looming threat. An unprecedented crisis quietly approaches, testing the very foundation of this peaceful coexistence. As danger closes in, Hei must face difficult choices—ones that will challenge his courage, his beliefs, and the bonds he holds dear.

A Story of Growth, Identity, and Responsibility

Continuing the journey introduced in the beloved first film, The Legend of Hei II follows Hei as he navigates a world where harmony between humans and spirits is under constant strain. As his powers grow stronger, so does the weight of responsibility that comes with them. Hei begins to question where he truly belongs and what it means to protect both worlds without losing himself.

New threats emerge, old wounds reopen, and familiar relationships are pushed to their limits. Along the way, new faces join the story—some offering guidance, others concealing hidden intentions. Each encounter shapes Hei’s understanding of trust, loyalty, and sacrifice, making his evolution both compelling and deeply emotional.

A Critically Acclaimed Animated Triumph

Following the success of its fan-favorite prequel, The Legend of Hei II has captured widespread acclaim, earning an impressive 98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes’ PopcornMeter. Viewers have praised the film as a “triumphant continuation” and a “visually stunning achievement,” applauding its ability to blend exhilarating action with heartfelt storytelling.

Critics and fans alike highlight how the film raises the bar, introducing fresh elements while remaining true to the soul of the original. Its message about growth, identity, and meaningful connection resonates strongly, leaving a lasting impression long after the credits roll.

A Vacation Turns Savage in New “Primate” Featurette Focused on Ben’s Transformation
A Vacation That Changed Everything

Something sinister is lurking beneath the palm trees.

Paramount Pictures has unveiled a brand-new behind-the-scenes featurette for the upcoming horror mystery Primate, giving audiences a closer look at the film’s most unsettling question yet: what happened to Ben?

Featuring director and co-writer Johannes Roberts alongside stars Johnny Sequoyah and Victoria Wyant, the featurette peels back the creative process behind Ben’s shocking transformation—an evolution that turns a tropical escape into a relentless fight for survival.

Watch the Featurette Here:

Paradise Turns Primal

At its core, Primate follows a tight-knit group of friends whose island vacation spirals into chaos when they encounter a terrifying force hidden deep within the jungle. What begins as carefree adventure soon becomes a brutal test of instinct, fear, and humanity.

The featurette sheds light on how the film builds tension gradually, allowing dread to creep in scene by scene. According to Roberts, the horror isn’t just about what’s seen—but what’s felt. “We wanted the audience to sense the change before they fully understand it,” he explains.

Inside Ben’s Disturbing Shift

Ben’s transformation stands at the center of the story, and actor Johnny Sequoyah brings an unnerving intensity to the role. As revealed in the featurette, the change is both physical and psychological—marked by strange behavior, growing aggression, and an overwhelming loss of control.

Victoria Wyant describes the experience as deeply unsettling. “There were moments on set where it didn’t feel like acting anymore,” she shares. “It felt real—and that made it even scarier.”

This careful, character-driven approach adds emotional weight to the terror, making Ben’s fate all the more haunting.

Crafted by Masters of Suspense

Primate comes from a formidable creative team known for crafting tension-filled genre films.

Directed by: Johannes Roberts

Written by: Johannes Roberts & Ernest Riera

Produced by: Walter Hamada, p.g.a., John Hodges, p.g.a., Bradley Pilz

Executive Producers: Vicki Dee Rock, Nathan Samdahl, Johannes Roberts, Pete Chiappetta, Anthony Tittanegro, Andrew Lary

A Cast Trapped in Terror

The film stars:
- Johnny Sequoyah
- Jessica Alexander
- Troy Kotsur
- Victoria Wyant
- Gia Hunter
- Benjamin Cheng
- Charlie Mann
- Tienne Simon
Together, the ensemble delivers a gripping portrayal of fear, loyalty, and survival when faced with the unknown.

Get Ready to Go Bananas

With its eerie jungle setting, slow-burning suspense, and shocking character turns, Primate promises a chilling cinematic experience that lingers long after the credits roll.

Prepare yourself for a primal nightmare when Primate opens in Philippine cinemas on January 21, 2026.

Festival Reaction: A Wild Standing Ovation

Fresh off showings at Fantastic Fest and Beyond Fest, PRIMATE is already making noise in the horror community.

“Primate does for monkeys what Jaws did for sharks, only with more fur, sharper teeth, and a far greater sense of blood and guts. It’s punk rock horror at its snarling, cymbal-crashing best”
— Bryan Kluger, Boomstick

“PRIMATE is Cujo for chimpanzees, old school nature-gone-rogue creature feature at its most entertaining and morbidly hilarious. The film makes the most of its creative premise of a bunch of young adults trapped in a house with rabies-infected pet chimp.

— JoBlo

“Primate is the creature feature you’ve been waiting for—intense, bloody, and brutal as hell. If you ever needed a reason not to have a pet monkey, this is it. The practical effects are jaw-dropping, leaving me wincing and squirming in my seat from start to finish. Holy sh*t, this was epic. Bodies fly, limbs tear, and there’s absolutely no monkey business here. Johannes Roberts returns with a bloody vengeance, delivering pure carnage,”
— According to Seth

“#Primate is the most fun I’ve had with an animal attack movie since Lake Placid. Intense, creepy, and find plenty of moments for laughs. The score was like a greatest hits love letter to John Carpenter. Oh…and PRACTICAL FUCKIN CARNAGE CANDY!!! Total blast!”
— Cody Leach, YouTube reviewer
