Trailer Debut: Johnny English Reborn

Remember Johnny English, that other bumbling character created by Rowan Atkinson? He’s back, eight years after his last cinema engagement, in Johnny English Reborn.

It hardly needs to be said the James Bond-inspired Johnny English is nowhere near as iconic or beloved a creation as Atkinson’s Mr. Bean or even Blackadder. However, the international success of the original film – it grossed $160 million worldwide – proved that audiences love the man’s brand of slapstick action, regardless of which guise he offers it in.

This new Johnny English flick also stars Rosamund Pike and Dominic West. Check out the trailer and share your thoughts below.

You can also watch it in HD over at Apple.

Johnny English Reborn, directed by Oliver Parker, arrives in Australian cinemas September 15, 2011.
