Pythons take on Passion as Brian returns
AFTER seeing the runaway success of The Passion of the Christ, film-makers behind the Life of Brian have decided to re-release the satirical Monty Python flick.
The 1979 movie about Brian of Nazareth, who is mistaken for the Messiah, will make a return to the big screen in America at the end of April in Los Angeles and New York. It comes as Mel Gibson’s movie about the crucifixion continues to make hundreds of millions of pounds at the box office.
Life of Brian producer John Goldstone said: "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. This is a kind of antidote to Mel."
Henry Jaglom, Goldstone’s partner, said it was "counter programming" to the "hysteria" which had followed The Passion.
The film goes on general release in British cinemas tomorrow.
