Surviving members of Monty Python's Flying Circus are set to reunite for another film, Terry Jones has confirmed.

In an interview with Variety, the star said that he would direct the new science fiction picture Absolutely Anything, which will feature John Cleese, Terry Gilliam and Michael Palin.

The last time the five remaining cast members of the iconic comedy group appeared together was in the 1998 Aspen Comedy Festival.

In the new CGI movie, the Pythons will provide the voices for a group of aliens who grant immense power to a human being, leading to all kinds of disruption.

"It's not a Monty Python picture, but it certainly has that sensibility," Jones said.

The BBC confirmed in June that Cleese, Gilliam, Palin and Jones would voice a 3D animated film based on the memoirs of the late Graham Chapman, the sixth Python, who died in 1989.
