David Brent: Life on the Road — Teaser Trailer

added: Thu, Apr 7th '16

It's been more than a decade since we last saw him, but socially-awkward, mid-level office manager David Brent is back. And he's more inappropriate than ever.

Check out the very first teaser trailer for "The Office" spin-off movie "David Brent: Life on the Road," in which British comedian Ricky Gervais reprises his iconic television role.

Although the character David Brent had appeared on an episode of the U.S. Office series and was last seen in a couple of YouTube music parody videos, this is the first time fans will see what everyone's favorite paper company manager is up to these days. Apparently, he's working on his music career and is now employed as a cleaning product sales rep. And he seems to just have come up with the lyrics to a hit song.

Also written and directed by Gervais, "David Brent: Life on the Road" will be -- ahem -- "cumin" to U.K. theaters in August. A U.S. release date hasn't yet been announced.

synopsis:
Twelve years ago, David Brent (Ricky Gervais) was a regional manager for a mid-level paper merchants. In Summer 2016, get ready to see him on the big screen as he chases fame and fortune in LIFE ON THE ROAD.

Now working as 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.

LIFE ON THE ROAD is directed, written by and stars Ricky Gervais as David Brent, one of the world's best-loved comedy characters. With original music by Ricky Gervais ... and not to mention a few of the classics - Free Love Freeway and Equality Street, this movie will do for every mid-level sales rep with a dream of becoming a rock god as what the Rolling Stones did for rock ’n’ roll!
