That's right, Ricky Gervais' much-loved (and much-hated) The Office character David Brent is looking for some free love on the free love freeway - the love is free and the freeway's long - in his very own cinematic spin-off. It's currently titled Life On The Road and set for an August 2016 release in the UK.

The press release reads: "Now working as a rep selling cleaning (and ladies personal hygiene) products up and down the country, Brent hasn’t given up his dream of becoming a rock star - or more specifically, singer/songwriter for fledgling rock band Foregone Conclusion. 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 UK tour coming to a venue near every major city near you."

As well as the picture seen above, Gervais also issued a statement: "I’m so excited that the world will see what David Brent is up to now and where his future lies. This film delves much more into his private life than The Office ever did and we really get to peel back the layers of this extraordinary, ordinary man."

As you may have suspected, Gervais is the writer-director-star of the film, also boasting composing credits on the movie as he's written yet more "classics" to rival the likes of the infamous 'Equality Street' and the aforementioned 'Free Love Freeway'. Currently, there has been no official word on whether Gervais' Office co-creator Stephen Merchant is involved with the product.

Life On The Road is set for an August 2016.
