“The Office” & “Little Britain” on the Big Screen? (NOPE)

UPDATE: As the British would say, this is bollocks. This article made its way to the front of The Hollywood Reporter yesterday, but as GMMR reader Kathy pointed out, it was published on July 6th 2006 not 2007. My apologies.

This falls into the category of just too good to be true, so I’m not really putting any credence into this one. But, the BBC has announced that it’s hoping to bring some of its hit shows back and this time on the big screen. Shows mentioned by name include “The Office”, “Extras” and “Little Britain”.

Ricky Gervais has said in the past that he’s not looking to revive his projects on film, but one would think that he would have had to at least been consulted before the BBC made such a bold statement, right? So is it possible that we will see David Brent, Gareth Keenan, Tim Cantebury & Dawn Tinsely again? Be still my heart. If it’s not going to happen then the BBC should be slapped for teasing me in such a way.

Ricky Gervais Channels David Brent
For some Friday afternoon fun, check out this video of Ricky Gervais singing “Freelove Freeway” along with Mackenzie Crook (Gareth Keenan) at The Concert for Diana which took place on July 1st at Wembley Stadium. It seems that my dear Prince Harry (swoon) is also a big fan of The Office.
