I totally love Rowan Atkinson… however… even I couldn’t forgive the bomb that was Johnny English. But now the man is back, and I have to say I like what I’m reading.
The good folks over at Monsters and Critics offer us this little nugget about the upcoming project:
Rowan Atkinson has signed up for his first leading role in several years, as a village vicar in rural British comedy “Keeping Mum.”
Variety reports Atkinson will play a pastor so obsessed with writing the perfect sermon that he doesn’t notice his wife’s infidelity or the adolescent escapades of his kids. Kristin Scott-Thomas plays the spouse, and Patrick Swayze the brash golf instructor with whom she dallies. Maggie Smith plays the discreet housekeeper who decides to take the situation in hand and rid the town of its dirty secrets.
I love it! Patrick Swayze is back too! I already know this is going to be hilarious… if for no other reason.
