Ricky Gervais’ The Office Movie Spinoff Is Coming to the U.S.

David Brent is coming to America. Open Road Films has acquired the U.S. distribution rights to Life on the Road, a mockumentary based on Ricky Gervais’ awesomely obnoxious Office character. In the new film, a documentary crew follows the former regional manager of Wernham-Hogg paper as he pursues his dreams of being a rockstar during a self-financed tour with his band, Foregone Conclusion.

“David Brent getting a big U.S. theatrical release? He can die happy now. (Spoiler alert—he does not die in this movie),” Gervais joked in a press release.

“Ricky Gervais is a comic genius and we can’t wait to see where he takes this beloved character,” Open Road CEO Tom Ortenberg said in a statement.

The film will open Aug. 19, 2016 in the U.K., with a U.S. debut to follow.
