Ricky Gervais has begun casting for his David Brent spin-off Life On The Road – and he’s trying to spook prospective applicants before they’ve even auditioned.
The Office spin-off film was announced last year and with none of the original cast, apart from Gervais, returning, he’s busy trying to find the perfect people to replace the likes of Martin Freeman, Stephen Merchant and Mackenzie Crook.
Merchant, who co-wrote and co-directed award-winning TV series alongside Gervais, was confirmed as not returning in June.
Ricky announced casting was open on his Twitter page today, tweeting a very scary-looking interview room and, if applicants weren’t nervous enough, captioning it: ‘Casting all day for David Brent: Life On The Road. The dreaded chair!’
