this side of the truth.
Ricky Gervais is working on a new movie- 'This Side of the Truth' which is set for release in 2009. The movie is written and directed by him. Oh, and stars him as the main character. Perfect.
"Gervais, who created the British version of The Office, has lined up an all-star cast: Jennifer Garner, Tina Fey, Christopher Guest, Jeffrey Tambor, Louis CK, Rob Lowe, Jonah Hill, and Jason Bateman. This Side of the Truth tells the story of a world where Gervais is the first person to tell a lie. Filming in Lowell begins April 1."
Unbelievable cast line-up. Never thought I'd see the day where Fey, Bateman and Gervais would appear in the same movie. Geniuses in their own right. Includes a cameo by Steve Merchant (the most underrated comedian). Now if only they'd swap Jonah Hill for Michael Cera, or would that be asking for too much?
They've only started production for the movie, and Gervais keeps a blog of it on his webite. Or the link here.
I won't comment on the premise of the movie, I feel like a movie is only as good as the writing so until its actually released, there's no telling how good (or godforbid, bad) it is.

Gervais sure does think BIG.
That's one kick-ass cast-so still no sugah for Jonah Hill?:p I'm guessing our beloved Cera is taking a break from his typical character type to prepare for the fantastic filthiness that is Nick Twisp.
This truth movie could turn out to be the greatest comedy ever made.
oh yea, forgot abt NT (nick twisp). not gonna be as good as the book though, I dont think. but anything for MC eh? (and not JH).
I have ridiculously high hopes for G's (gervais') movie. we talk in codes now.
