Chile to remake ‘The Office’
Tuesday, January 15th, 2008 | 23 commentsFrom Variety:
BBC Worldwide Americas has licensed “The Office” for a local remake in Chile.
It’s the first format deal in Latin America for Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant’s comedy and the first Spanish-language version.
“We stopped making ‘The Office’ in 2003, but the rest of the world didn’t,” Gervais said. “I won’t be happy until I see an Inuit doing the dance.”
