It’s another trailer for the incomptent spy saga Johnny English, reborn this time with Rowan Atkinson doing his best to distance the film from its Barclaycard origins with Gillian Anderson turning up to look stern.

The new poster and trailer don’t deviate at all from what went before and I have a sneaking suspicion that this one will do pretty well when it is unleashed upon an all too suspecting public in October. Every Johnny English movie makes the prosepct of a big screen Blackadder outing all the more remote. For that alone I cannot forgive it.

For what its worth here’s the synopsis,

Rowan Atkinson returns to the role of the accidental secret agent who doesn’t know fear or danger in the comedy spy-thriller Johnny English Reborn. In his latest adventure, the most unlikely intelligence officer in Her Majesty’s Secret Service must stop a group of international assassins before they eliminate a world leader and cause global chaos. In the years since MI7?s top spy vanished off the grid, he has been honing his unique skills in a remote region of Asia. But when his agency superiors learn of an attempt against the Chinese premier’s life, they must hunt down the highly unorthodox agent. Now that the world needs him once again, Johnny English is back in action.

And thank goodness he is.

This trailer, should you choose to watch it, is below.

 

Rope of Silicon did the ‘decent’ thing and gave these  to the world.
