LONDON -- David Brent is hitting the road, and he's taking his band Foregone Conclusion with him.
One of TV's finest comic creations, and the star of the original version of The Office, will take his band on tour for a follow-up mockumentary film entitled Life On The Road.
The news that Ricky Gervais' alter ego was to star in his own film was revealed last summer, but the financing details were just announced Tuesday, May 12. The full length feature will be funded by BBC Films and Entertainment One, a Canadian film company.
Gervais has promised that the film, which followers the paper company boss as he tries to get his band on the road, will delve much more into Brent's private life than the TV show did. "We really get to peel back the layers of this extraordinary, ordinary man," he said, adding that he's written "all new tracks" for the film.
If his previous output is anything to go by, we should be in for a treat. Here are seven musical highlights from David Brent's chequered career.
