Comedian Ricky Gervais has posted a video on his blog highlighting some news about his upcoming cinematic directorial debut, This Side of The Truth. The film is now set for an Sept 25th, 2009 US release date, contrary to some reports it wouldn’t be out until 2010. The title is set as This Side of The Truth, instead of The Invention of Lying. Check out the video below:
The comedy stars Jonah Hill, Jennifer Garner, Jason Bateman, Rob Lowe, Tina Fey, Ricky Gervais, Christopher Guest, Jeffrey Tambor, and Patrick Stewart as the narrator. The basic plot is that it is a comedy set in a world where no one has ever lied, until a writer seizes the opportunity for personal gain.
I’m so glad this film is coming out this year. Gervais is one of my favorite comedians, and I can’t wait to see what he can do behind the camera.
Do you like Gervais? Are you excited for this film?
