Hollywood version of The Inbetweeners film 'planned' The film, which depicts the four main characters on a debauched teenage holiday in Crete was a hit in UK cinema's last year. Now, according to the Hollywood Reporter, Paramount Pictures has approached Iain Morris, who co-created the original UK series with Damon Beesley, to write and direct a US version of the film, which is as yet untitled. The film follows a long line of UK hits which have been remade for a US audience, most recently Shameless, which was moved from Manchester to Chicago for its American audience. And the Ricky Gervais sitcom The Office went from Slough to Scranton, in Pennsylvania, when it was remade for an American audience. The US version of that show has run for 176 episodes so far compared with 14 episodes of the original British series. Plans for The Inbetweeners film come just weeks before an American remake of the series, also produced by Mr Morris and Mr Beesley, which will air on MTV in August. The UK version of The Inbetweeners film became the highest-grossing comedy film in UK box office history after earning more than £45 million in cinemas last year. It is scheduled to open in the US on September 7.
