A promotional picture from The Inbetweeners USA has been unveiled.

The image shows Bubba Lewis (Simon), Joey Pollari (Will), Mark L Young (Neil) and Zack Pearlman (Jay) in action as the characters made famous by Joe Thomas, Simon Bird, Blake Harrison and James Buckley in the original Channel 4 show.

The Reservoir Dogs-esque picture suggests that some key elements from the series, such as Simon's bright yellow Cinquecento Hawaii and Will's infamous briefcase, will also feature in the adaptation.

The Inbetweeners USA has received the backing of Anthony Head, who cameoed in The Inbetweeners Movie as Will's father and whose daughter Emily starred in the original series as Carli D'Amato.

"I have to say, sometimes you wonder about translations [but] it's good, actually," he said. "They followed [the original] very close. Its themes are pretty common."

The Inbetweeners will debut on MTV in the US on August 20, while the British big-screen version will receive a stateside release on September 7.
