The 72-year-old Monty Python legend, who wrote and co-starred in 1988 hit A Fish Called Wanda, penned some comedy material in the early 2000s which he was hoping to turn into a movie, but he walked away when he was forced to make several changes.
He tells Britain's The Express, "I got so fed up with the Hollywood studios. I wrote a couple of scripts and thought they were both very good and so did the studios at the time but after a while I realised I was in with a load of people who had no idea about comedy at all but they were telling me what to do with my scripts and so round about that time I got terminally frustrated with them."
Cleese announced his retirement from writing TV shows and films in 2006.
