BBC News reports that according to Aardman co-founder Peter Lord, John Cleese is currently writing a “pre-historic” comedy for the studio. “It will be great comedy adventure about a pre-historic culture clash between two tribes, one comparatively evolved tribe, and one un-evolved tribe,” Lord announced at the Cannes Film Festival on Thursday. “Some might consider one tribe might be the English, and some might consider that the other to be the French, the Gauls. Let’s just say it’s the start of the Entente Cordial and it explains why the English Channel is there.” The film, reported by JoBlo to be titled “Crood Awakening”, will be the fourth collaboration between Aardman and DreamWorks.
