There’s always an issue with movies about things such as American Football and Thanksgiving. While you can see why they’d be popular in the US, they don’t always travel well, as most other countries don’t have those traditions.

It was revealed a few weeks ago that a long-planned Alan Partridge movie was finally shooting. Now it’s been confirmed it will be called The Alan Partridge Movie, the first still is here (which you can see above), and you can watch a brand new teaser for the movie below!

Steve Coogan will be joined in the film by the likes of Sean Pertwee, Colm Meaney, Anna Maxwell Martin, Monica Dolan and Dustin Demri-Burns. They team up with Partridge veterans Felicity Montagu, Tim Key, Simon Greenall, Phil Cornwell, Nigel Lindsay and Darren Boyd, who’ll all be back for more madness.

Not too much has been revealed about the plot, other than that it will follow Alan trying to resurrect his flagging media career. Coogan, Neil and Rob Gibbons, Peter Baynham and Armando Iannucci wrote the film, with Declan Lowney directing. It’s currently due out in the UK on August 13th.
