Monty Python Gang Reunite for Sci-Fi Comedy ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING
Members of the beloved Monty Python’s Flying Circus are set to return once more to the big screen together for Absolutely Anything, a sci-fi farce that will be a mixture of CGI and live action, with Terry Jones to direct and Mike Medavoy (Black Swan, Life of Brian) to produce.
Flick about a group of naughty aliens who endow an earthling with the power to do ‘absolutely anything’ to see what would happen. Unable to handle his newfound abilities and because humans are so selfish and dumb and ignoring the advice from his talking dog named Dennis voiced by Robin Williams, chaos ensues.

Absolutely Anything Comedy Starring John Oliver and Robin Williams
Absolutely Anything is an upcoming comedy that involves “aliens, a goofy Brit, a talking dog, and buckets of silliness.”
And that’s basically all we know about this project. Except the (big!) fact that goes like this:
Monty Python‘s Terry Jones is attached to direct the whole thing, with Daily Show correspondent and occasional “Community” cast member John Oliver set to star in it.
And, if that’s not great enough for you, then let us say right here at the beginning that Robin Williams is in talks to play the dog!
