BARGAIN BASEMENT DAILY: Johnny English, Sequel?!

*Warning Sarcasm Ahead*

Yes, no kidding, here’s Johnny! English that is and he is back for more goofball antics. Following the fantastic success of revisiting Bean in Mr Bean’s Holiday in 2007, Universal have decided to strike for gold once more with the sequel to the Rowan Atkinson vehicle: Johnny English.  

So we may be a tad over enthusiastic here, but we really cannot defend Universal on this one, so we’ve gone the over way. The original raked in $161 million around the globe and it seems that is enough to get production rolling on the sequel.

Rowan Atkinson will return as the bumbling spy who will likely save the day in the most unlikely way. To add a bit of spice to this news, none other than Oliver Parker director of the St Trinian’s escapades will helm, with the Mr Beans Holiday scribe Hamish McColl has written the script.

With such heavyweight Hollywood hitters on board, the sequel will surely be the biggest hit of the year, and the hot anticipation will begin to build when the cameras start rolling in August, perhaps not.
