Anaconda: Where Serpents Lie

ANACONDA (revised), the original 1994 screenplay that launched the globally known series. It should be noted that the script differs in many respects from the eventual film. In the dead of a Chicago winter, twenty-something middle school biology teacher Andie Easter and six colleagues hatch a plan to spend their summer in Brazil, hoping to reverse their meager fortunes by joining a modern day gold rush on a tributary of the mighty Amazon. Disoriented and increasingly isolated, the treasure hunters stray into the remote domain of three colossal snakes; daughter, mother, grandmother. One by one, under terrifying circumstances, the teachers fall victim to the devastating effects of gold fever and the relentless brutality of the primeval South American jungle. Andie Easter must discover her inner Amazon to avoid falling prey to the Mother of All Snakes.
