David Hasselhoff has reportedly signed up to star in two new sequels to the movie Anaconda.

The original film, which starred Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube and Jon Voight in 1997, was followed by a sequel a couple of years later.

In the latest sequel, Hasselhoff will reportedly play a mercenary who goes on a mission to capture a snake that could help to cure a deadly illness, alongside John Rhys Davies and Crystal Allen, according to Moviehole.

Shooting is due to begin next year in Romania, but it is expected to go straight to DVD after it premieres on the US Sci-Fi channel.
