Welcome to Retro Rewind, the TGJ original feature launched to celebrate TV and Film’s unforgettable past.
Today, in honour of her stellar career on stage and screen, we revisit Jennifer Lopez’ smash hit movie ‘Anaconda.’
Also starring Ice Cube, the movie follows a film crew who find themselves in danger when they are when they are taken hostage by a wild snake hunter on the hunt for a giant anaconda.
Grossing $136 million at the box office, the movie was one of the many movie projects used to support Lopez’ quest for stardom as a musician and saw her earn praise from critics who praised her performance in the Columbia picture.
