Beloved comedian Robin Williams died in 2014, but his voice is coming back to the screen this year in the new movie Absolutely Anything.
The British science fiction comedy follows the life of an ordinary guy given the power to do, you guessed it, absolutely anything by a group of offbeat aliens.
The main character is played by Simon Pegg and the aliens are voiced by the Monty Python team. Williams voices Pegg’s dog who gets the gift of gab.
The movie hits theaters in the U.K. on Aug. 14.
