In what may very well be the best news of my day, the Hollywood Reporter reports that the Brit version of The Office may be a movie in the making. The BBC is hoping to move into feature films and is beginning their film venture with projects based on their TV offerings. Among those being considered are a sketch comedy show called Little Britain, as well as Extras and The Office, both Ricky Gervais/Stephen Merchant series.

This move to the big screen allows BBC to easily translate some well-known British staples, getting their feet wet before branching into other feature films. BBC Films has already invested in several recent comedy projects and would like to continue growing the comedy genre.

I for one can’t get enough of Ricky Gervais and his comedy genius. While I love the American version of The Office, the British version will always be a classic.
