Last year’s Christmas hit film St Trinian’s was so successful, there is going to be a second film...

While celebs are partying hard at the Cannes Film Festival gossip is flying all over the place and the best we've heard yet? St Trinian's is making a comeback!

Russell Brand, Gemma Arterton and Rupert Everett starred in the hugely successful 2007 St Trinian’s film and they are said to be returning for the sequel due out in 2009.

Oliver Parker and Barnaby Thompson will again direct, while writers Piers Ashworth and Nick Martin will return to pen the script.

Speaking at the Cannes Film Festival, Thompson said he hoped cast members Gemma Arterton, Russell Brand and Rupert Everett will also reprise their roles.

He told Variety: "It would be good to get the old gang back in."
