Brent is back: Full-length Life on the Road trailer released by Ricky Gervais

From Entertainment One UK

The first full length trailer for Ricky Gervais’ Life on the Road has been released this morning.

Gervais tweeted the video which you can watch below (warning: it does contain language which some viewers may find offensive).

The film catches up with David Brent 12 years on from the BBC mockumentary The Office to find him working as a travelling salesman with Lavichem, a cleaning and ladies’ personal hygiene products company.

However, the Brentmeister General has not given up on his dream of rock stardom and is about to embark on a self-financed UK tour with his band, Foregone Conclusion.

Ricky Gervais first introduced his cult character to the world in 2001 as the regional manager at fictional paper merchant Wernham Hogg in The Office, famously set in Slough.

Gervais, who also wrote Extras and Derek, was filming in Slough in December as he revealed the movie would include a first look inside the home of the great entertainer, boss and friend.
