Seriously? A 'Johnny English' sequel?

Okay, Peter Howitt's spy comedy "Johnny English" wasn't all that bad, but I remember I wasn't blown away by it either. In fact, I remember leaving the theater disappointed, which is why I'm not exactly thrilled that Universal is seriously developing a sequel to the 2003 flick with Rowan Atkinson ("Mr. Bean").
Variety says Oliver Parker will direct "Johnny English 2," and Atkinson will return to reprise his role as the clumsy spy as well. Hamish McColl, who was also behing "Mr. Bean's Holiday," wrote the script. Like I said, I am not convinced this is a great idea, but then again, this may be a chance to improve things...
