Mike Bassett is back in the England hot-seat.

The tactically inept manager, titular star of cult classic Mike Bassett: England Manager, is back for a sequel that should be released in early 2016.

After years in the wilderness, Bassett is called in to assist brilliant German manager Jurgen Mannstein, but when Mannstein unexpectedly quits just ahead of the World Cup, there is only one man ready for the job.

The film will be part-funded by crowd-sourcing and has so far raised £80,000 of its £250,000 target.

Donating to the project gives individuals a range of rewards, from having a thanks on the credits, to landing a role in the film as an extra or advertising your business.

The new teaser trailer has just been released...

Mike Bassett: Interim Manager is due to start filming next year, with an anticipated release of February 2016. For more information and to help fund the project CLICK HERE.
