John Cleese To Write Next Aardman Film

Posted by Zonk on Friday May 13, 2005 @11:31AM from the he-is-an-ex-python dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "The BBC has news from the Cannes Film Festival. First, the previously announced Curse of the Were-Rabbit Wallace and Gromit short is due in Autumn, and a Trailer is available. Second, John Cleese is currently writing a pre-historic comedy for Aardman Entertainment. From the article: 'It will be great comedy adventure about a pre-historic culture clash between two tribes, one comparatively evolved tribe, and one un-evolved tribe...Some might consider one tribe might be the English, and some might consider that the other to be the French, the Gauls...Let's just say it's the start of the Entente Cordial and it explains why the English Channel is there.'"

Maybe you didn't know, but Cleese's father actually changed his surname from Cheese to Cleese before signing up for the army in World War I. Interesting how these things work out :)
