MUPPETS MOST WANTED

Muppets Most Wanted is due for international release on March 21st 2014.

A few days ago, it was announced that the sequel to The Muppets movie starring Jason Segel and Amy Adams will be called 'Muppets Most Wanted'.

The sequel stars Ricky Gervais, Ty Burrell (Phil Dunphy from Modern Family) and Tina Fey (star of 30 Rock) and is directed by James Bobin.
Ricky plays a 'baddie' called 'Dominic',  who is a sidekick to the No.1 criminal Constantine (a dead ringer for Kermit the frog).
Ty Burrell plays a French interpol agent and Tina Fey, a feisty prison guard.

Film Synopsis
An international crime caper which is set in Europe. The Muppets go on a world tour and end up in Europe's biggest cities, but are closely pursued by Dominic and Constantine.

Bret McKenzie, star of Flight of the Conchords will be writing some of the musical numbers for the sequel, following his award winning success for 'Man or a Muppet' in the 2011 film.

THE RETURN OF DAVID BRENT FOR CHARITY




As fans may know, Ricky Gervais recently resurrected David Brent for a music video and short film for a British Charity called Comic Relief; a charity which Brent mentioned in The Office and did his infamous dance for; here's a clip to remind you of it:



You can donate and find out more about the work comic relief does here: http://www.rednoseday.com/sponsor-and-donate


Brent's back 10 minute film:


And the political reggae music video 'Equality Street' he made with Comedian/Rapper Doc Brown:


The Making of 'Equality Street' is as hilarious as the actual music video as Ricky keeps on laughing at the word 'bongo!'


All of David Brent's new material can be viewed on YouTube via the The Ricky Gervais YouTube Channel.
