First announced back in May, David Brent – the ‘musically gifted’ manager from The Office – is making the leap to the big screen. Well now we have the first image of Ricky Gervais’ David Brent in the recording studio for Life on the Road.

Writing, staring and directing Gervais is bring back the delusional, egotistical manager turned performer, following Brent as he combines a career as a travelling salesman with the continued chasing of his dream to be a rock star via a self-financed UK tour with band Foregone Conclusion.

Joining Gervais on screen are Ben Bailey Smith as Dom (last seen here), Tom Basden as Dan, Brent’s road manager, Jo Hartley as office (not capital O) colleague Pauline, Andrew Brooke as business nemesis Jezza, Nina Sosanya as his therapist and Razorlight drummer Andy Burrows as the skins man for Foregone Conclusion alongside Kevin Bishop, Roisin Conaty, Diane Morgan, Ashley McGuire, Alexander Arnold and Mandeep Dhillon.

Life on the Road is due in cinemas next Summer.
