(PCM) After famous DJ Alan Partridge’s radio station is taken over by a new media conglomerate, a chain of events are set in action that put the famous DJ in the middle of a potentially dangerous situation in this uproarious comedy, opening on a limited run starting April 4.
Alan Partridge has had many ups and downs in his life. National television broadcaster. Responsible for killing a guest on live TV. Local radio broadcaster. A nervous breakdown in Dundee. His self-published book, ‘Bouncing Back’, subsequently remaindered and pulped.
Alan Partridge finds Alan at the center of a siege, when a disgruntled fellow DJ decides to hold their station hostage after learning that he’s getting sacked by the new management.
The character Alan Partridge first appeared over twenty years ago as a BBC sports reporter on the radio show, On The Hour.
Since then, this wonderfully conceited, petty, anal, idiosyncratic comic creation has flourished across virtually every medium you can think of. He’s been a sports reporter (again) on the seminal TV news spoof, The Day Today, host of his own TV chat show, Knowing Me, Knowing You, star of the fly-on-the-wall sitcom I’m Alan Partridge, and most recently Mid-Morning Matters.
Starring in Alan Partridge are Steve Coogan (Philomena, Despicable Me 2) as Alan Partridge and Phil Cornwell (Stella Street, Made in Dagenham).
Alan Partridge opens in U.S. theaters on a limited run starting April 4 and already has a fresh rating of 86% on Rotten Tomatoes. Watch the film’s trailer below and check out the official site here.
