First Image of ‘Absolutely Anything’ Released
The first image from the film ‘Absolutely Anything’ has been released following the shooting wrap. The comedy stars Simon Pegg and will see director Terry Jones reunite with the Monty Python team. A disillusioned school teacher (Pegg) suddenly finding himself invincible after a group of power-crazed aliens, voiced by Jones alongside Monty Python co-stars John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin and Eric Idle, bestow a challenge on him.
The cast also includes Kate Beckinsale, Rob Riggle and Robin Williams, who voices Pegg’s dog, in Jones’ first film as director in 18 years. Finishing the shoot, Jones said, “Kate, Simon and Rob breathed such life into the characters. I couldn’t have imagined anyone else playing those parts.”
Producers are Ben Timlett and Bill Jones at Bill & Ben Productions. Mike Medavoy will serve as executive producer with Chris Chesser. The script was co-written by Jones and Gavin Scott. The film has struck a number of international deals so far, and Lionsgate plan to release the film in the UK between April and June 2015.
