Cheeky chappy Simon Pegg has reportedly joined the cast of Monty Python’s latest film project ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING.
However, fans of THE LIFE OF BRIAN’s mockery of religion may be a little disappointed. Pegg is set to star as disillusioned teacher Neil Clarke, who wakes to find he has been given magical powers…by a group of aliens. Python comrades Terry Jones, Michael Palin, John Cleese and Terry Gilliam will lend their voices to the part-CGI, part-live-action comedy, with Jones also directing the feature. Mrs Doubtfire him/herself Robin Williams is also rumoured to be lending his voice to Pegg’s pet dog…so that’ll be interesting!
As a huge fan of Pegg and Monty Python (anyone remember the CD-ROM game?) this is a match made in heaven!
