Spamalot (also known as Monty Python's Spamalot) is an unproduced musical fantasy- comedy film directed by Casey Nicholaw in his directorial debut and based on the 2005 stage musical of the same name by John Du Prez and Eric Idle, which itself is based on the 1975 Monty Python comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
In May 2018, it was announced that 20th Century Fox had greenlit a film adaptation of the Broadway musical Spamalot that would have its creator Eric Idle write the screenplay and stage director Casey Nicholaw was set to direct. [1] In June, it was reported that Benedict Cumberbatch and Peter Dinklage were being eyed for the lead roles of King Arthur and Patsy, Arthur's trusty page, respectively, with Tiffany Haddish the top choice for the Lady of the Lake. [2] On January 17, 2019, Idle ruled out Cumberbatch’s involvement due to scheduling conflicts with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022). [3]
In January 2021, as a result of 2019 acquisition of 21st Century Fox by The Walt Disney Company, it was announced that the project was being moved to Paramount Pictures, with Dan Jinks joining as a producer. [4] Two years later, Idle said that the film would not be happening. [5]
