Clip from Simon Pegg’s Sci-Fi Comedy ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING
Today we bring you the first clip from the Monty Python reunion sci-fi comedy Absolutely Anything, which stars Simon Peg. The clip features an amusing scene between Pegg’s character Neil and his dog Dennis, who was voiced by Robin Williams. This is the first footage from the movie that we’ve seen so far, and it looks very funny. The film was directed by Terry Jones, who explained the story,
“It’s about a man called Neil, a teacher in a sink secondary school, who gets given magic powers by aliens. He can make anything happen, [but] he doesn't realise it until his colleague says, ‘What would you do if you could do anything?’ and Neil responds with, ‘I'd make an alien spaceship hit class 4C and vaporise them.’ Then there's an explosion in the school, and they run to 4C’s classroom, open the door and there's a vast hole in the ground.”
The extra-terrestrials who are in this spacecraft are being voiced by Jones, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, and Michael Palin. Apparently Neil comes to a fork in the road and must make a choice between his dog and the woman (Kate Beckinsale) he loves.
The movie will be released in the UK on February 13th, 2015. No U.S. release date has been set yet.
