MONTY PYTHON REUNITES

description

Monty Python reunites for NEW TV series!

The loonies that changed the face of comedy John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin and Terry Gilliam have inked a deal to star in a six ep Monty Python: Almost the Truth (The Lawyer’s Cut) which will air initially on IFC and then be released on DVD in celebration of the UK group’s 40th Anniversary.  The so-called doc will serve as a tribute to late Graham Chapman who died in 1989 after a bout with cancer.

The series will "study the Pythons up close" and feature the thoughts of fans who are "rock stars, comedians, actors, politicians, writers, broadcasters, religious groups, Python-haters and potential axe murderers" including Hugh Hefner, Dan Aykroyd and Tim Roth.

"This is the documentary I always hoped would be made – something so complete and so faithful to the truth that I don’t need to watch it," director/maniac Terry Jones confessed.

John Cleese, who was rather reluctant to get back into drag claims he really doesn’t like his fellow Pythons, "One of them’s alright – the little guy who does the very boring travel programs (Michael Palin)… but the others are awful."

Evidently Cleese digs the nature of modern publicity.
