Hey, Rowan Atkinson! You might want to get your lawyer warmed up because Russia's Karlson bears a striking resemblance to a certain creation of yours.
Due for release in Russian cinemas in 2012, the first teaser has arrived for Тот ещё Карлос:)н - a title I'm seeing Romanized simply as Karlson - and beyond the fact that the Russian character flies the similarities to Mr Bean are obvious and overwhelming. Now, I don't know the origins of the character within Russia so can't say conclusively which came first but ... well, check the teaser below and judge for yourself.
