A spinoff of the United Kingdom’s The Office is happening and, as Entertainment Weekly reported today, funded. The show, Life on the Road, will follow Ricky Gervais’s David Brent as he journeys out from his life at Wernham Hogg Paper. According to EW:
Gervais will write, direct, and star in the movie, which will follow a documentary crew as they catch up with Brent years after his tenure as the world’s worst boss at Wernham Hogg Paper. (Hint: working as a traveling salesman, and chasing his dreams of being a rock star by self-financing a tour with his band, “Foregone Conclusion.”)
Does this mean Michael Scott will soon be back, too? No. But that’d be awesome …
