Ricky Gervais is giving his most famous TV creation in the U.K. a feature film.
In an announcement made Tuesday, it was revealed that David Brent, the manager from the original version of The Office and the inspiration for Steve Carell's Michael Scott in the U.S. remake, will be getting his own spinoff feature, backed by BBC Films and set to go into production in the U.K. next year.
Life on the Road will catch up with Brent over a decade after The Office ended in December 2003 following two hugely successful six-part series and a concluding two-part Christmas special. It hasn't yet been announced whether the film will be getting a theatrical release or will be made purely for TV.
