Johnny English Strikes Again
Fans of Rowan Atkinson can rejoice , because it looks like a thirdJohnny Englishfilm has entered production . We already knew thatAtkinson would retort to the roleof wreak a piteous British spy , but the tentatively titledJohnny English 3has already startle shooting .
It depend like the circumstances of the world will once again rest on the goofball shoulders of Atkinson ’s titular spy in the slapstick comedy . Given that the first moving-picture show was indite byCasino RoyaleandSkyfallwriters Neal Purvis and Robert Wade , it is n’t hard to see where the James Bond spoof gets its influences from . However , asunder from a director , we do n’t yet make love who will be behind the scenes on the threequel .

2003’sJohnny Englishstarred Atkinson as the ill-chosen intelligence officer who became the last hope for the fictitious MI7 . Also among the cast was Ben Miller as English ’s hapless supporter Bof , Natalie Imbruglia as the " Bond girl , " and a nefarious performance from John Malkovich . hope to cash in in on the success of the first flick , Johnny English Rebornwas released in 2011 , and with a mostly new mould , was dubbed a mild reboot of the serial . The sequel star the likes of Gillian Anderson and Rosamund Pike , but failed to compete with its harbinger . While the first film brought in an telling $ 160 million worldwide and $ 28 million domestically , Rebornmatched the planetary figures but walked aside with a less telling $ 8 million in the States .
Given that neither of the first two photographic film fared particularly well in the reviews stakes , Johnny English 3is one of the more unusual sequel announcements of recent time . However , could the franchise ’s reprisal be anything to do with the boom in undercover agent moving-picture show and a break in the market for another espionage comedy ?
Given that English is one of Atkinson ’s best - be intimate roles ( alongside Mr. Bean and Blackadder ) , fans will undoubtedly be tuning in for his clowning timing . aside from Atkinson study the lead , we do n’t experience who ( if any ) of the previous stars will render for the next pic - but with some substantive Holywood talent behind the series , we will have to waitress and see . Nothing else is known aboutJohnny English 3 , but in an era ofAtomic Blondeand Daniel Craig ’s serious delineation of 007 , could we be heading for a grittier Sam Mendes - esque take on the franchise ?
