What would happen if an otherwise average Englishman was granted the ability to do absolutely anything at the behest of alien superpowers? That is the high-concept premise of Absolutely Anything, the sci-fi comedy from Monty Python’s Terry Jones that re-unites the comedy group’s living members for the first time since 1983’s The Meaning of Life.

Jones, John Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle, and Terry Gilliam voice the C.G.I. aliens who bestow these superpowers randomly on Simon Pegg’s English teacher in, apparently, the ultimate test of human self-restraint. Because he is a straight man, after all, his wish list includes a bombshell love interest (played by Kate Beckinsale) and vocal abilities for his pet dog (who is voiced by Robin Williams in his last role) before Pegg’s character gets around to addressing those weightier issues like world hunger.

Loosely inspired by H.G. Wells’s sci-fi short story The Man Who Could Work Miracles, Absolutely Anything opens in the U.S. on September 4.
