In this day and age I think Life of Brian needs a re-launch more than the Holy Grail.

  You're kinda in luck: next year there's a not-musical stage show produced by Cleese being released. The backstory is pretty contentious though, Idle and Palin have completely disowned it via Twitter for various reasons, not the least being Cleese politicizing it with changes to the Loretta scene and removing the closing "Always look on the bright side of life." https://www.comedy.co.uk/live/news/7343/life-of-brian-stage-show/ https://www.comedy.co.uk/live/news/7343/life-of-brian-stage-... https://variety.com/2023/theater/news/monty-python-john-cleese-life-of-brian-cut-scene-1235627718/ https://variety.com/2023/theater/news/monty-python-john-clee... (I don't use Twitter but the war between Cheese vs Idle/Palin is there)

    > And, spoiler alert, Brian does not get crucified. But rest assured he will still sing Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life." Seems like they keep it for the most part. What would this production be without Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life ???!!!

  A relaunch is dare possible only because it's about that one in the Big Religions (tm), not the other one.
