Looks like Rowan Atkinson is about to reprise his role as Mr. Bean in the comedy sequel, Bean 2. But will Burt Reynolds return? This from Variety.

SOME INTRIGUING NEWS for those people who don't exactly consider "Bean -- The Ultimate Disaster Movie" as the artistic pinnacle of recent British cinema. Rowan Atkinson has teamed up with Simon McBurney, the actor-director behind innovative legit troupe Theatre de Complicite, to develop "Bean 2," which is likely to shoot later this year.

Complicite has a rep for groundbreaking physical theater that combines highbrow themes with comedic elements. It recently enjoyed a sell-out revival at the National Theater of its early work "A Minute Too Late," which draws heavily on mime, slapstick and Buster Keatonesque gags.
