What if you were given absolute powers with just a wave of your hand? Missions are definitely possible in Simon Pegg’s latest comedy movie “Absolutely Anything” opposite Kate Beckinsale.
Pegg takes on the role of Neil Clarke, an unassuming teacher from London chosen by a group of cackling aliens who want to destroy Earth. But before they can do that, they have to abide by the Earth must first prove itself worthy to be saved and preserved. At first, Neil doesn’t realize that anything unusual is happening. He is completely oblivious. He doesn’t see the laser beam from outer space that strikes him as he cycles to school. He gets on with his usual daily routine and when chatting with his best friend, Ray (Sanjeev Bhaskar), tells him that he wishes his rowdy class would just disappear.
“Absolutely Anything” goes far out in the realm of outer space, where an Intergalactic Council, composed of a nasty bunch of alien creatures, intercept the Voyager space probe and look down on planet Earth. These cackling creatures have an appetite for destruction and believe that Earth and its inhabitants should be destroyed – and so, the fate of the world hangs in the balance.
The idea for the latest family adventure film from Terry Jones, “Absolutely Anything,” starring Kate Beckinsale and Simon Pegg began life many years ago when the former Python imagined a movie inspired by a short story written by H.G. Wells at the end of the 19th century — the comedic fantasy ‘The Man Who Could Work Miracles’.
Wholly talented actor Simon Pegg, widely known for his roles in franchise blockbusters such as “Star Trek,” “Mission: Impossible” and lending voice in animated and CGI films “Ice Age” and “The Chronicles of Narnia” stars anew in the upcoming fantasy action adventure in “Absolutely Anything” opposite Kate Beckinsale.
