I can't really make a comment on the Monty Python cast made film, but there was a great adaption made in 2005 that they showed on PBS's Masterpiece Theater that was live action. If done right, you can make it into live action no problem.
But those are three words of importance... "If Done Right."
As long as it isn't all Chipmunk-like, I'm sure it's gonna be fine.
Still... it seems like they're treating this like "oh, that ride that used to be at Disney World." Not even the cartoon it was based off of. Not even the book that was in turn based off of. A Theme park ride movie.
POTC showed that they could actually make a theme park ride a movie if they take the bare essentials of what that ride is. Everything else they did showed that POTC was almost dumb luck.
