It was three years ago that director David Kerr unexpectedly got a call from an old producer colleague, Chris Clark, with whom he’d worked on 2018’s “Johnny English” sequel “Johnny English Strikes Again.” Clark had been developing an idea with “Johnny English” and “Mr Bean” star“It was a really simple premise,” Kerr tells. “You’ve got this man in a fancy house full of priceless artwork, with a tiny antagonist.
