Little Britain star David Walliams has confirmed that a movie version of the hit show is still in development.
Speaking to The Sun, the actor revealed that he and co-star Matt Lucas had nearly finished writing the script for the film, which will be set in Las Vegas and feature characters including Kenny Craig, Carol Beer and Bubbles Devere.
"We’re really happy with it, but the whole film project is still kind of dependent on how much we can raise our profiles in America...Ultimately, our aim was always to make a film and it’s very exciting," he explained.
The untitled script is thought to have been passed to Red Hour, the production company run by Ben Stiller.
Walliams added that a second series of Little Britain USA is also in the works, saying: "We do have some new ideas for characters - a mum feeding her son to make him the fattest boy in America, a psycho American girlfriend, but without the bunnies, a woman who has everything Disney-themed, and some annoying Scottish air hostesses."
I hope the film is a lot better than their first series of Little Britain USA, which I was quite disappointed with.
