Ricky Gervais is to make satirical comedy Special Correspondents for Netflix that will see the star of The Office and Derek appear alongside Eric Bana.

Special Correspondents is a remake of a 2009 French film about a struggling radio journalist who files fake war reports.

Ricky Gervais will write and direct the comedy, described by Netflix’s Ted Sarandos as a “smart social satire with heart”.

Netflix’s plans to expand into film-making has already seen it sign deals with Adam Sandler, Leonardo DiCaprio and the Weinstein Company.Ricky Gervais Netflix

“Having shaken up the TV industry, Netflix is about to do the same to Hollywood,” said Ricky Gervais, whose Channel 4 series Derek was streamed by Netflix in the US.

The original Special Correspondents film starred Gerard Lanvin and Gerard Jugnot as a radio journalist and technician in Paris who pretend to report live from Iraq.

Set predominantly in New York, the new version will see Ricky Gervais and Eric Bana’s characters fake their own kidnappings during a rebel uprising in South America.

Sony Pictures acquired the rights to distribute Ricky Gervais’s remake internationally at the American Film Market in Santa Monica, California in November 2014.

Jane Henson, the Muppets designer and ex- wife of puppets creator Jim Henson, has died aged 78 after a long battle with cancer.

Jane Henson helped design many puppets for the Muppet Show, whose characters include Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy, and also worked as a puppeteer.

A statement from the Jim Henson Company – owned by the couple’s five children – described Jane Henson as an “integral creative and business partner” in the Muppets.

Jane Henson, born in New York in 1934, died at her home in Connecticut.

She met future husband Jim Henson in a puppetry class at the University of Maryland in the mid-1950s and the pair created the five-minute TV sketch show Sam and Friends, a precursor to the Muppets that featured an early incarnation of Kermit.

Sam and Friends first aired in 1955 and ran for six years, with Jane Henson giving up puppetry in the early 1960s to raise the couple’s children. However, she went on to make occasional appearances in Sesame Street, which featured some of their creations.

The Muppet Show made its TV debut in 1976 and has enjoyed enduring popularity. The 2011 film The Muppets won an Oscar and was a box office hit.

British actor Ricky Gervais is playing the lead role in the sequel The Muppets… Again, which is due out next year.

Jane Henson separated from her husband in 1986, four years before his death from infection-induced organ failure aged 53.

She went on to found the Jim Henson Legacy to preserve his artistic contributions.
