John Cleese with Aardman
According to BBC Online, Monty Python and Fawlty Towers alumni, John Cleese is writing a film for stop-motion animation pros Aardman Animations, makers of the always goofy and lovable Wallace and Gromit and the always goofy and rude Angry Kid.
This hasn't shown up on Aardman's studio news site as of yet, but according to the BBC, Peter Lord, Aardman co-founder, announced at Cannes on Tuesday that Cleese was "currently writing the 'pre-historic comedy'" and that the film will be Aardman's "fourth feature-length film in a deal with US film studio Dreamworks." As far as the subject matter of this "prehistory," Lords said, "It will be great comedy adventure about a pre-historic culture clash between two tribes, one comparatively evolved tribe, and one un-evolved tribe. . . . Let's just say it's the start of the Entente Cordial and it explains why the English Channel is there." An animated French versus English prehistory, eh? Count my interest piqued.
