As if this project wasn’t alluring enough already…
Kate Beckinsale has climbed aboard ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING, the animated comedy from Monty Python’s Terry Jones about a teacher who gains god-like powers. If I had god-like powers the first thing I’d do is wish for Kate Beckinsale, so perhaps that’s how she figures into the plot…
The lovely Brit joins Simon Pegg, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin, Robin Williams and Jones himself. This is shaping up to be something really special, don’t you think?
Here’s the official synopsis:
Chaos ensues when hapless teacher Neil Clarke (Pegg) is given God-like power for ten days. Little does he know that the planet is being tested by a council of supremely odd ‘world destroying’ aliens and his actions will determine the fate of planet Earth. Will Neil and his dog Dennis become the unlikely saviours of mankind? What would you do if you could do Absolutely Anything?
Beckinsale will play “Catherine,” who is Neil’s neighbor and of course the girl of his dreams.
Production on ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING begins next month in London.
