Multi award winning comedy actor, writer & director
Ricky Gervais is developing a brand new movie, based on his creation
David Brent, the focus of his global hit series, The Office. 'Life on the Road' is currently being developed with BBC Films and goes
in to production in 2015.
We find out what Brent is doing now and
what’s happened in the last 15 years since his redundancy from his
beloved Wernham Hogg.
He’s a sales rep now, selling cleaning products up
and down the country, but has never really given up on his dream of
being a rock star. Brent is followed on his self-financed UK tour. He thinks it’ll be
like Scorsese filming the Rolling Stones, but it turns out to be a
“Where are they now?” documentary.
He has to take a few weeks off work
and cash in a couple of pensions, because the session musicians in the
band are costing him more than he’s getting in ticket sales. Tragic.
The movie will be filmed in the UK but due to its global appeal will
be distributed worldwide.
The Office is the most successful British
Comedy of all time, shown in over 100 countries with remakes in 8,
including US, Chile and most recently the Czech Republic.
