The sequel to 2003’s spoofy spy caper Johnny English – called Johnny English Reborn – has sucked in another few actors. The latest to sign on are Dominic West, Rosamund Pike and newcomer Daniel Kaluuya.
The chance to work with Rowan Atkinson is a draw, and that might explain why people such as Gillian Anderson are already aboard. Now The Wire's Dominic West and former Bond girl Rosamund Pike have joined the fray, in a plot that will see our bumbling super spy trying to stop a group of international assassins taking down China’s premier.
Johnny English Reborn was written by Hamish McColl (Mr Bean’s Vacation) and William Davies (he has Alien Autopsy staining his CV, but recently worked on the very good How to Train Your Dragon) is getting set to start shooting today in the UK before jetting off to Hong Kong under the director of Oliver Parker.
