ReleaseNews of the second film first broke in early 2005, suggesting that it would be written by Simon McBurney, although in December 2005, Atkinson stated that the screenplay was being written by himself and long-time collaborator Richard Curtis.[2] The screenplay was finally confirmed to have been written by Robin Driscoll, Simon McBurney and Hamish McColl.[3] He was also quoted as saying "Never say never" but went on to add that it was highly unlikely he would appear as Mr. Bean again.[4]Unlike the 1997 Mel Smith film, Mr Bean's Holiday was directed by Steve Bendelack.[5] The film began shooting on 15 May 2006.[6] It was the official film for Red Nose Day 2007, with money from the film going towards the charity Comic Relief.[7] Prior to the film's release, a new and exclusive Mr. Bean sketch was broadcast on the Comic Relief telethon on BBC One on 16 March 2007. The movie's official premiere took place at Leicester Square's Odeon in London on Sunday, 25 March, and helped to raise money for both Comic Relief and the Oxford Children's Hospital Appeal charity. Universal Pictures released a teaser trailer in November 2006,[8] and in December 2006 launched an official website online.
