There have been images and a clip, but now the first trailer for sci-fi comedy **Absolutely Anything **has arrived online for your viewing needs. Take a look below.
Simon Pegg stars in the film as Neil Clarke, a teacher at a failing secondary school who is unexpectedly given great power by a group of aliens – voiced by director Terry Jones and Monty Python pals John Cleese, Terry Gilliam and Michael Palin – who are deciding whether the planet Earth lives or dies based on his actions. Unfortunately, Neill goes ahead and does what we suspect many of us would, and shamelessly uses them to improve his life. And even when he does try to make things better (such as reanimating the dead), it all goes comically wrong.
Through all of that, he’s also got to try to win the heart of Catherine, the woman he loves (Kate Beckinsale) while dealing with his best friend, Dennis the dog, who can now talk (via a performance by the late Robin Williams). Will Neil succeed? Or are we all doomed?
With Rob Riggle, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Eddie Izzard, Joanna Lumley and Robert Bathurst in the cast, Absolutely Anything lands in our cinemas on August 14.
