The third in the series of comedy films about inept spy Johnny English is in pre-production in the UK.

Johnny English 3 once again stars Rowan Atkinson as the bumbling secret agent – a character he first played in the 2003 original which had a screenplay by Bond writers Neal Purvis and Robert Wade. The film went on to take $160m worldwide.

A sequel, Johnny English Reborn, followed eight years later, directed by Oliver Parker.

Johnny English 3 comes from Working Title Films. PI subscribers can log in for shoot dates along with details of the studio, director, line producer, UPM, location manager and production co-ordinator.
