Simon Pegg Can Do ‘Absolutely Anything’!
Imagine being gifted to have the ability to do anything you want!
ScreenDaily shared the first ever image of Shaun of the Dead‘s Simon Pegg in Absolutely Anything the comedy that reunites the voices of the Monty Python team on film.
Shooting has wrapped in London on the film from Monty Python’s Terry Jones, and “follows a disillusioned school teacher (Pegg) who suddenly finds he has the ability to do anything he wants, a challenge bestowed upon him by a group of power-crazed aliens watching him from space.”
The aliens will be voiced by Jones himself alongside Monty Python co-stars John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin and Eric Idle.
The cast also includes Kate Beckinsale, US comedian Rob Riggle and Robin Williams, who voices Pegg’s canine companion, in Jones’ first film as director in 18 years.
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
