Monty Python Reuniting For Sci-Fi Movie ‘Absolutely Anything’
John Cleese, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones are set to team again for the sci-fi comedy Absolutely Anything. The men will voice “a group of aliens who endow an earthling with the power to do ‘absolutely anything’ to see what a mess he’ll make of things; which is precisely what happens.” The movie will combine CGI and live-action, and will shoot this spring in the UK. Robin Williams is also in talks to lend his voice to the cast as well as Python alumni Eric Idle. Terry Jones will direct the film, which he has spent more than 20 years developing. Here is what producer Mike Medavoy had to say about the project:
“Terry and Gavin have crafted a classic farce, something I feel I know a little bit about after all the ‘Pink Panther’ pictures we did with Blake Edwards at United Artists. In fact, the movie even has a pompous Frenchman reminiscent of Inspector Clouseau but there the similarity ends. Like all projects originated by any of the Monty Python guys, ‘Absolutely Anything’ delightfully defies a logline.”
So excited for this!
