The Officecult series released in 2001 and created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchantwill soon have a new version, after the one we had in 2005 written by the same Gervais in which we admired Steve Carell in the lead role.
The journey around the world of one of the most popular franchises continues: this time, in fact, it will stop in Australiaafter having visited United Kingdom and United States. The first revolution we find in this new version of The Office is that the protagonist will be a woman.
And this is also the only information we have regarding this product that we are sure fans of the series have been waiting for for a very long time. In any case, everyone expects a series irreverent, comical and ruthless: these, in fact, are the dominant characters of the original series and of the American remake.
In this moment, however, Castings are underway for the choice of actors who will play the most irreverent employees on the small screen. And, apparently, there would already be a shortlist of names for the role of the protagonist. In pole position there would be the Australian comedian Magda Szubanskifamous in her homeland as the star of the sitcom Kath & Kim. More secluded, we find Rachel Griffithscandidate for Oscar Prize Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the film Hilary & Jackie released in 1999, e Katrina Milosevicknown for starring in the detective series Stingers.
To record the official involvement, later canceled, of the well-known Australian comedian Jim Jeffries and Isla Fisher who, however, declined the invitation to be part of the project. Two “No” that make noise, but that do not in the least affect the hype of the fans.
In short, the premises for a new remake capable of thrilling one of the most loyal communities are all there. We look forward to official news regarding the cast and production times, news that we will tell you as soon as they arrive.
