Die Pythons sans Eric Idle (und Graham Chapman natürlich, dessen Asche für immer in Aspen verschüttet bleibt) haben zugesagt, Sprechrollen für „Absolutely Anything“ zu übernehmen, einen SciFi-Film mit CGI- und Realfilm-Elementen. Robin Williams übernimmt die Rolle eines sprechenden Hundes, Terry Jones führt Regie und derzeit sind sie dabei Eric Idle zu einer Rolle zu überreden. Was dann sowas wie eine Monty Python-Reunion in Sprechrollen wäre. Immerhin.
Members of Monty Python’s Flying Circus are reteaming for “Absolutely Anything,” a sci-fi farce combining CGI and live action, with Terry Jones to direct and Mike Medavoy to produce.
Plans are for filming to begin in the U.K. this spring, with the Pythons voicing key roles as a 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. There’s also a talking dog named Dennis who seems to understand more about the mayhem that ensues than anyone else does. Robin Williams will voice the character.“It’s not a Monty Python picture, but it certainly has that sensibility,” Jones told Variety.
“Anything” is based on a script developed by Jones and Gavin Scott over the past two decades. Medavoy, a producer on the Pythons’ “Life of Brian,” is producing along with David Thwaites and Chris Chesser, in conjunction with U.K. partners Bill and Ben Prods.
