added: Fri, Jun 17th '16

So, what has "The Office" star David Brent been up to since leaving his old job at the paper company? Well, going by this new full-length trailer for the upcoming "The Office" spin-off movie, David Brent seems to be living it up these days and doing what he does best: "Entertain!"

British comedian Ricky Gervais sports a neatly trimmed goatee and wields a nasty t-shirt cannon as he reprises his iconic television character, the socially-inept, former office manager, David Brent, who is now living out his dream as a touring rock-reggae musician. But Brent hasn't completely abandoned the white-collar world as he's currently employed as a sales rep for a cleaning product company.

Also written and directed by Gervais, "David Brent: Life on the Road" will get a theatrical release in the U.K. on August 19th. The U.S. rights to the film were recently been acquired by Netflix, but an official U.S. release date has yet to be announced.

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.

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!
