Monty Python Team Up Again for Sci-Fi Farce

On January 27th, 2012

This spring Monty Python’s Flying Circus members are teaming up, again, for Absolutely Anything. The movie is a science fiction farce – using CGI and live action. Terry Jones is set to direct the movie, which will be filmed in U.K.

The storyline is so fitting for Monty Pythons, who will be voicing key roles as a group of aliens who endow an earthling with the power to do “absolutely anything”.

The story follows the earthling to see what a mess he’ll make of things – that is exactly what happens. According to Variety, there is a talking dog named Dennis. The canine understands more about the wackiness that ensues than anyone else in the movie. Another added benefit is Robin Williams will voice the dog.

Jones and Gavin Scott have been developing the script for two decades. Jones is very familiar with Monty Python’s Flying Circus. He co-directed 1974′s Monty and the Holy Grail with Terry Gilliam. He also directed Life of Brian and Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life. According to Variety, Python members John Cleese and Michael Palin will perform in the movie – hopefully producers will be able to sign Eric Idle.
