Johnny English Reborn

[Perdita]

Dominic West and Rosamund Pike have been added to the cast of the Johnny English sequel, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

The British duo will join Rowan Atkinson, Gillian Anderson and Daniel Kaluuya in the spy spoof, titled Johnny English Reborn.

The story centres on Atkinson's bumbling secret agent trying to foil an assassination attempt on the Chinese premier.

St Trinian's helmer Oliver Parker is directing the Universal/Working Title project based on a script by Hamish McColl and William Davies.

Johnny English grossed a modest $28 million at the US box office in 2003, but turned a profit after taking an impressive $161 million in ticket sales worldwide.


I loved the first film, looking forward to this one :D :thumbsup:

Rosamund Pike has revealed she is no Bond girl in the new Johnny English film.

The English rose - who starred as villain Miranda Frost opposite Pierce Brosnan in James Bond film Die Another Day - has signed up to star alongside Rowan Atkinson and Dominic West in spoof spy movie Johnny English Reborn, and is really enjoying it despite not being given any weapons to fire.

Rosamund revealed: "Although it's Bond spoof, it's nothing like being a Bond girl, because I've got a very interesting role to play actually. Not that the character in the Bond film wasn't interesting but, I don't get to play with guns of fight. There is a scene in a car, so there is an element of Bond about it. But she's quite a funny character."

The Made In Dagenham star revealed Rowan personally requested her to star in the sequel to his James Bond spoof.

She said: "Rowan Atkinson came after he saw An Education and wanted me to do this part in the Johnny English film for him. It's a very, very funny script."

Made In Dagenham is released in cinemas on Friday October 1

Rowan Atkinson took his life in his hands as he shot scenes for Johnny English Reborn in London.
The 55-year-old actor was being pulled along in a motorised wheelchair by a huge film truck as they filmed the footage on The Mall outside Buckingham Palace.
And while a stunt double was used for the scenes which saw the wheelchair whizzing underneath a lorry, Atkinson didn't escape the dangerous side of the shooting as he was pulled along in the chair at speeds of around 40mph.

Careful, Rowan! Atkinson is reprising his role as hapless spy Johnny English for the film sequel
The movie, the sequel to 2003 film Johnny English, sees Atkinson reprise his role as hapless British spy English, and also stars X Files actress Gillian Anderson as well as Rosamund Pike.
And Pike said recently she is enjoying the filming despite not being given any weapons to fire.
She said: 'Although it's Bond spoof, it's nothing like being a Bond girl, because I've got a very interesting role to play actually.
'Not that the character in the Bond film wasn't interesting but, I don't get to play with guns of fight. There is a scene in a car, so there is an element of Bond about it. But she's quite a funny character.'

Stunt time: Atkinson's stunt double has a go in the wheelchair as they start shooting scenes for the film


Pike added: 'Rowan Atkinson came after he saw An Education and wanted me to do this part in the Johnny English film for him. It's a very, very funny script.'
Johnny English Reborn marks a return to the movie industry for Atkinson, who has largely been out of the spotlight since appearing in 2005 family comedy Keeping Mum.
But Richard Curtis said recently that he is 'hopeful' Atkinson will one day reprise his most famous role of Mr Bean.
He said: 'I think Mr Bean in 2010 would be obsessed by his Sky box and having access to everyone and endlessly going on YouTube.


'I am tempted by the idea or Mr Bean in an old people's home, so Rowan doesn't have to go on dyeing his hair.
'Mr Bean does behave with all the selfishness of a child and I think a lot of childish traits remain in people as they grow up – though of course they try to hide them
