Ricky Gervais has been busy lately, not only hosting the Golden Globes back in January, but also prepping for the launch of his Netflix movie Special Correspondents. But now the first trailer has arrived for the big screen standalone adventure, David Brent: Life on the Road, showing very little has changed for the would-be rock star. This isn’t going to be an Office (UK, mind) reunion, but rather, it will focus exclusively on Brent as he takes a holiday in order to tour with his band, Foregone Conclusion.

What’s more, Life on the Road appears to have captured the “tone” of the original The Office TV series rather nicely – it’s nearly as if we haven’t been away for twelve years (a time lapse that Brent refuses to address in the teaser to comical effect). As he assembles a group of mercenary session musicians, a talented sidekick for street cred and an overpriced yet underwhelmed tour manager, he embarks upon a self-financed United Kingdom tour coming to a venue near every major city near you.

Gervais wrote and directed David Brent: Life on the Road, after The Office ran in the United Kingdom from 2001 to 2003 before inspiring the USA version of the show.
