Directed, written by and starring Ricky Gervais, David Brent: Life on the Road is a feature length film which sees a documentary crew catching up with David Brent twelve years on from the mockumentary ‘The Office’.
David Brent did make two brief appearances on the U.S. Office, and Gervais has resurrected the character on a few occasions in various forms.
David Brent: Life on the Road opens in U.K. theaters on August 19.
The American version of The Office lasted for nine seasons and 200 episodes, but it never really topped the original U.K. show, co-created by and starring Ricky Gervais as David Brent, the weaselly middle manager of the Slough branch of the Wernham Hogg Paper Company.
