    A new film about David Brent called Life on the Road is in development and will be released in 2015, backed by BBC Films. The Guardian reports that "the film will find out what fate befell Brent after he was made redundant from Wernham Hogg, and will be filmed in a similar 'mockumentary' style to The Office".

    Just yesterday Ricky Gervais did a Facebook Q&A in which he was asked about the possibilites of a new film.

    The last time we saw David Brent was as part of a Comic Relief skit in 2013, a decade after The Office ended.
