Rowan returns to Bean

Movies News

The notoriously touchy comedic actor Rowan Atkinson is out plugging his new projects, and in the course of doing so, he stopped to drop a few hints about a possible sequel to 'Bean'.

Moviehole reports that he's actually working on a sequel to the 1997 movie for awhile, but he's been having trouble putting together a script with his co-writer Richard Curtis. But Rowan is ready to return to the character, who jumped to film after a successful run as a British television series.

The character is… well… hard to describe if you haven't already seen him. Think of it as what the Three Stooges might be like if they were invented in Britain. The story for the new movie, 'Bean 2' is said to be set in London this time, instead of America where the first one was set.

Rowan Atkinson is currently out promoting his next film, 'Keeping Mum'. It's a comedy about a pastor so preoccupied with writing the perfect sermon that he doesn't notice his wife is having an affair and his children are troublemakers. Should go over huge in the American Bible Belt.
