David Brent is the most famous of all of Ricky Gervais' character creations and now he is heading to the big screen for the very first time.
David Brent: Life on The Road
The first poster for the film has been unveiled and it is the character of Brent that takes centre stage.
As well as reprising the role of Brent in the film, Gervais has also penned the screenplay and will be in the director's chair. Gervais is no stranger to being behind the camera with The Invention of Lying and Cemetery Junction already under his belt.
Ben Bailey, Andy Burrows, Tom Basden, Nina Sosanya, and Tom Bennett are just some of the names also on board.
Twelve years ago, David Brent was a regional manager for a mid-level paper merchants. Now he is a rep selling cleaning (and ladies personal hygiene) products up and down the country, Brent hasn't given up his dream of becoming a rock star - or more specifically, singer/songwriter for fledgling rock band 'Foregone Conclusion'.
As he assembles a group of mercenary session musicians, a talented sidekick for street cred and an overpriced yet underwhelmed tour manager, he embarks upon a self-financed UK tour coming to a venue near every major city near you.
David Brent: Life on The Road is released 19th August.
