Recent films like 47 Meters Down, The Shallows and The Meg, along with the upcoming Crawl, have suggested that water-based creature features are back in a big way, and now we’re getting a brand new giant snake movie to go along with all the shark and gator horror!

Deadline reports today that Constantin Film and JB Pictures are fast-tracking development on an action-horror movie about the Titanoboa, an ancient snake measuring 42-feet long!

Wikipedia explains:

“Titanoboa is an extinct genus of very large snakes that lived in what is now La Guajira in northeastern Colombia. They could grow up to 12.8 m (42 ft) long and reach a weight of 1,135 kg (2,500 lb). Fossils of Titanoboa have been found in the Cerrejón Formation, and date to around 58 to 60 million years ago. The giant snake lived during the Middle to Late Paleocene epoch, a 10-million-year period immediately following the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event.”

Tony Giglio (Doom: Annihilation) is writing the script.

JB Pictures’ Jeremy Bolt and Constantin’s Robert Kulzer are producing the film.
