Found in: Movies, NewsGervais and Co. make progress on This Side of the Truth
Ricky Gervais is a demanding director. He’s a man of all seasons who likes his scenes fresh and his wasabe strong. Yet he has a more refined side, too; he drinks milky tea and prefers dishes that used to have less legs rather than more. The crabs somewhere around week eight just didn’t cut it. What’ll Mr. Gervais be having this evening? Why, chicken and ‘mash. It does a body good. “I consider Gervais a handsome man because he gives people rides in horse-drawn carriages,” co-star John Hodgman writes on the blog for Gervais' directorial debut, This Side of the... read more
Found in: Movies, NewsRicky Gervais putting in Grand Theft Auto appearance
Early reports have indicated that Grand Theft Auto IV is attempting to bring a whole new level of realism to the GTA series, but things just got a little bit more serious(ly funny). Kotaku reports via ShortList that Ricky Gervais will be playing a part in the upcoming game, not just voicing a character but rather playing some embodiment of himself. "Ricky Gervais . . . will even perform three-minute skits of never-before-heard material and classic Fame gags in the digital comedy club in which you find him," writes the article. Still unclear is whether the character will literally be... read more

Found in: Movies, NewsRicky Gervais to direct first feature
Spring 2008 will mark Ricky Gervais' first moment in the director's chair, when he stars in and co-writes (with Matt Robinson) This Side of the Truth. The film will be set in a contemporary society similar to our own, except where no one has ever told a lie. Actually, maybe that's not so similar after all. Gervais plays a performer who tells the first lie and uses his ability to say whatever he needs to for his own personal gain, though perhaps not in the way audiences would expect. "My character works in the film industry, where actors are really... read more
Found in: Movies, NewsGervais, Rock announce buddy cop film
At the Live Earth concert on Saturday, Chris Rock and Ricky Gervais announced their upcoming buddy cop film Badge Buddies. That's right, Badge Buddies. Well at least it’s forthright. Gervais summarized the plot, saying that he stars as a cop whose old partner retires, making him switch to a partner who is an ex-gang member. Chris Rock commented on this saying, “I wouldn’t call it a buddy cop flick because we’re not really buddies.” You've never actually seen a buddy cop movie, have you, Rock? “It’s kind of Rush Hour meets Shakespeare in Love,” he adds. Nevermind, where could they... read more
