LOS ANGELES, May 4 (UPI) -- Robin Williams voices a ribald dog in a first Absolutely Anything trailer.

The film marks the late actor's final performance and co-stars Simon Pegg and Kate Beckinsale. The preview sees a group of aliens give a schoolteacher (Pegg) the ability to do anything he wants while secretly planning to destroy Earth if he uses the power for evil.

Monty Python's Terry Jones (Monty Python and the Holy Grail) directed the movie and voiced one of the aliens alongside Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam, John Cleese and Eric Idle. Joanna Lumley, Eddie Izzard, Rob Riggle, Meera Syal and Sanjeev Bhaskar also have roles.

Absolutely Anything opens in theaters Aug. 14. Williams died of suicide by hanging at age 63 in August 2014, and his final on-screen project, Boulevard, will be released July 17.
