COLOGNE, Germany (Hollywood Reporter) - "Stromberg," the German adaptation of the BBC hit TV series "The Office," is being adapted as a feature film. Christoph Maria Herbst will star as the incompetent boss of a small-time insurance office, the role that made him famous in Germany. German comedy outfit Brainpool is producing the project, which is planned as the finale to the sitcom's fourth season. Writer and series co-creator Ralf Husmann will pen the script. In its third season on Pro7, "Stromberg" already has run longer than its BBC predecessor, as has the U.S. version on NBC. The German show has spawned a spinoff, "Beruhmt" (Famous), which follows the misadventures of office brown-noser Ernie. That series, which Husmann also is writing, will debut on Pro7 in 2009.
