You wanted it, you got it… Steve Martin is back as Inspector Jacques Clouseau. Wait, what do you mean you didn’t ask for it? Well, who the hell did order the sequel to the 2006 remake? It certainly wasn't us.
Admittedly, Martin’s turn as the bumbling French detective wasn’t as bad as Roberto Benigni in Son Of The Pink Panther, but the idea of him taking another stab at the dodgy Gallic accent fills us with dread. Still, if you want to check it out, there’s a new trailer for The Pink Panther 2 on Sony Pictures’ official website – you can check it out here.
Harald Zwart takes over the director reigns from Shawn Levy as Clouseau teams up with a squad of equally inept international detectives to stop a globe-trotting thief.
Slated for a February 2009 release, the film co-stars Jean Reno, Emily Mortimer, Andy Garcia, John Cleese, Alfred Molina, Molly Sims, Aishwarya Rai and Yuki Matsuzaki.
