The beloved British comedy troupe Monty Python, well-known for their films and sketch shows from the late ’60s through to the early ’80s, are set to return once more to the big screen together for a new sci-fi farce, Absolutely Anything. The film will be a mixture of CGI and live-action, Variety report, with Terry [...]
A comedy about bird watching – or ‘birding’, as it’s officially known – is such a random concept that it must surely be one of great mockery of the pastime. But Marley & Me and The Devil Wears Prada director David Frankel’s The Big Year manages to give it a little eccentric charm and grounded purpose, [...]
Last week I had the unparalleled pleasure of asking Bradley Cooper a few questions about his controversial movie hit, Limitless. For anybody who hasn’t seen the movie yet, you can take a peek at Adam’s review. We picked his brains from here to Hollywood but the fun didn’t stop there… During the roundtable with The [...]
The Lord of Twitter is set to become to Lord of Everything, with the tweeted news this morning that Stephen Fry is to play God is the forthcoming BBC drama about the excessive ecclesiastical response to the 1979 film Monty Python’s Life of Brian. We reported earlier in the week that the film had been [...]
Having one of their number die in 1989 is clearly no obstacle when the Pythons decide to get the band back together, and it’s a Beatles ‘Free as a Bird’ style reunion as the remaining members of the comedy group are currently recording voices which will be cut together with Graham Chapman’s own voice recording [...]
Monty Python’s 1979 film Life of Brian was a masterpiece of surreal and satirical comedy, and always places high when the various Best British Film of All Time polls are announced. On release its controversial subject matter inevitably ruffled a great many ecclesiastical feathers and was banned in some places in the UK, a ban [...]
Disney haven’t treated Winnie The Pooh all that well over the last decade or so. Supporting roles in The Tigger Movie and Piglet’s First Movie, alongside a series of not-particularly-good direct to video efforts, have left the silly-willy-nilly old bear somewhat battered and bruised of late. Now however, Disney are making an effort to breathe [...]
Having Terry Jones return to the big screen is always an excellent thing, and the good news that Phoenix Pictures are set on producing a script co-written by Jones and Gavin Scott is compounded by the notion that some of Jones’ Python alumni may be joining him. Oh, and Robin Williams is up for a [...]

Simon Pegg has been a very busy man, and along with the images from Paul which we posted here, the first promotional still from his resurrectionist comedy Burke and Hare surfaces. B&H is a welcome return to the big screen for John Landis whose previous form practically guarantees guffaws and gore galore, and with a [...]
Monty Python redefined the comedy landscape forty years ago, and though Graham Chapman, one of the tallest and silliest of the troupe, is gone the team still reconvene now and again to make us laugh, and with the release of Not the Messiah (He’s a Very Naughty Boy) on Blu-ray and DVD today Python fans [...]
There’s a lot going on down in Cannes, our man on the ground Simon Gallagher is doing us proud (you can follow all of his coverage here) and keeping up with the whispers is quite a challenge but there’s good things to be found all over the place, including our first look at the poster [...]
A little while ago we showed you some images from Simon Pegg / Andy Serkis’ new movie, Burke and Hare. This morning I wake to find that Empire have now released the first official image for the movie which shows the two of them dressed in their period character costumes looking rather dapper. Burke and [...]
Spamalot was a huge success and a textbook example of taking a very silly film and spinning it into crowd pleasing musical – helped in no small part by the Pythons themselves. Now John Cleese and his daughter Camilla have adapted the 1988 seafood revenge comedy A Fish Called Wanda into a musical and drafted [...]
The first on-set images have appeared from Burke and Hare which is directed by John Landis and stars Simon Pegg, Andy Serkis, Isla Fisher, Tim Curry, Tim Wilkinson and John Cleese. The new images have appeared on The Daily Mail, The Edinburgh News and The Playlist websites and show Pegg and Serkis dressed in wonderful [...]
