Steve Coogan, Rob Brydon's 'The Trip' to be remade for the US?

Producers of Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon's BBC Two comedy The Trip have claimed that they are in talks about a possible US remake.

Revolution Films said that the comedy, which featured Brydon and Coogan visiting restaurants in Northern England, may also return for a second series based in Italy.

Speaking to Screen International, Revolution's Andrew Eaton said: "We're curious of the idea of an American version of The Trip, which we're talking to a few people about for American TV.

"The way to do it if you wanted to open it up for a wider audience in America is to do it with American comedians.

"It could be fun. If you got the right people it's an interesting format - you could try it anywhere really."

The first series of The Trip aired in the UK in late 2010 across six 30-minute episodes.
