Lumberjacks, Knights Audition for Monty Python Film


Knights, monsters, and cross-dressing lumberjacks lined up near New York's Times Square on Saturday, hoping to win roles in an upcoming movie about the life of Monty Python comedian Graham Chapman.

About 1,000 actors and fans donned costumes to audition for the film "Gin and Tonic," about the life of Chapman, who died of throat cancer in 1989, said writer and director David Eric Brenner.

Brenner described the auditions as "loony."
