"In view of the furore over Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ we think it important to offer an alternative view from Monty Python and are planning a theatrical re-release (or second coming) of Life of Brian." Thus said Monty Python producer John Goldstone in March 2004 (read the Daily Llama article).
To mark the 25th anniversary of the film, Monty Python's Life of Brian will be re-released in U.S. theaters starting April 30, 2004.
Oh yeah baby! I HIGHLY recommend you guys check the release schedule and go out to your local art house theater and see it. It's hysterical and MUCH needed in this time of overly melodramatic money-making preach-fests.
"A lot of people in America have said that they couldn't figure out a way to deal with the public reaction to Mel's movie," John Goldstone told Daily Variety yesterday. "This is a kind of antidote to Mel."
I'm marking my calender. Gotta love Python.
