Watch Ricky Gervais’ Trailer for David Brent: Life on the Road

A new trailer for Ricky Gervais’ upcoming film David Brent: Life on the Road has been revealed.

The teaser trailer features Brent returning to a newly renovated Wernham Hogg office in Slough, which he previously managed during the award-winning BBC series The Office. Though Gervais has assumed the role of Brent for a Comic Relief sketch and a live tour, The Office hasn’t received another episode since its Christmas special in 2003, after first broadcasting in 2001 and running for two seasons.

The teaser trailer sees Brent returning to Wernham Hogg and prompting a typically negative response from its employees. In the film, Brent is working as a sales rep for a cleaning product distributor while still trying to make it as a singer-songwriter. Unlike The Office, it will not feature the writing talents of Stephen Merchant, the co-creator of the original series. The film will release in UK cinemas on August 19th.
