Joly reveals 'Trigger Happy' movie plans

Dom Joly has announced that his Trigger Happy TV show will be adapted for the big screen.

The comedian said that the tone of the film will be different to that of Sacha Baron Cohen's hit movie Borat, PA reports.

Joly said: "I have just got the first draft. It's weird to write a script because you can't because it's all kind of made up. It's really funny, I'm really excited about it.

"We are gonna have a go at doing it in America just because people don't recognise me there and America is huge."

He added: "Borat was quite offensive about Americans and maybe that was true under Bush but I kind of feel we're the first post-Obama movie.

"Although obviously we'll be slightly taking the mickey out of Americans, we are basically saying, 'Look at this place, it's incredible'. I hope we're gonna kind of show that we like America now."
