Have You Checked The Blog Yet For The New Ricky Gervais Film? You Should!
Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.
Ricky Gervais makes me laugh till I cry. And that’s not me exaggerating, either. Just now, as I was checking out the first of what I hope will be many blog entries regarding THIS SIDE OF THE TRUTH, I was listening to Gervais, Stephen Merchant, and Karl Pilkington, and I laughed so hard I had to turn it off to give myself a chance to recover.
I love the script for THIS SIDE OF THE TRUTH, and what I read was still a fairly early draft, so I hope that the finished product is something special. It’s got a great concept, and it’s not just dumb comedy. There’s a point to this satire, and I’m curious to see how it’ll all come together.
If you don’t know the premise yet, it’s simple: Ricky Gervais plays a man who lives in a society where the concept of lying was never invented. No one lies. As a result, there’s no fiction. There’s nothing even remotely like it. It’s a world for the literal-minded, and when Gervais accidently creates lying, it’s like he’s a powerful magician suddenly. He finds he can shape the world with his lies, and then has to deal with the ramifications of creating such a powerful tool.
For now, check this out, and then bookmark it so you can stay up-to-date as the film progresses:
Not seen you post this yet, but here are the first in what we are promised will be regular updates on Gervais' film "This Side Of The Truth". Anyone familiar with The Office and Extras DVDs will know what to expect - already it appears that assistant Jake is Ricky's new Nigel/Karl.
Check out the website here.
Hope the film is as funny.

-
I love Pilky so much.
-
funny.
loved extras! -
The Office still has the power to make me laugh hard

yeah. too cute. pass.

...who hates Ricky Gervais. Seriously, I can't stand him. I think he's a smug, unfunny little man. Didn't 'get' The Office for the life of me. I always thought that the point of comedy was to elicit a laugh at some point? Oh well, it's obviously my loss since everyone else worships the guy...
-
Although I had the expression 'perfect vehicle', this is the perfect vehicle for Ricky's style of humour. I can't wait! This is definitely going to be a very rewatchable movie. Bloody excited to hear about this.
-
Jim Carrey already did a movie like that.
-
If I remember correctly. Those Guardian podcasts cracked me up, I can't wait to hear this
-
... or Extras. Can't stand the uncomfortable style of humour. But Gervais is still hilarious. The Ricky Gervais show is genius and his stand up is fantastic. So I am looking forward to see what style this is.
-
but Gervais is a one trick pony.
-
is okay, but put him with Karl Pilkington and is gut-hurtingly funny. That is the funniest shit I've heard in a long tome.
-
there's no laugh track to tell you when to laugh!
-
Monkey news y'fu--
-
.......an' that.
-
....hairy old chinese gay midget freak. With a yogurt you can have a chat with.
-
Did Jim Carrey live in a world where nobody told lies in LIAR LIAR?
-
is awesome.
-
I'm just glad the great actor Clive Warren is finally coming back to the screen!
-
More a novelty street. Very slippery and filled with little Chinese fellas that haven't aged well. That's the thing with Chinese. The oldest one says he's 112 but he could be 33. Don't even get me started on the little disabled fellas playing tennis. Just give 'em a swing ball set and let 'em go...............Alright?
-
Rockbusters, Hip hop hooray!, Songs of Phrase, Ricky's film review, Monkey News, Karl in a film and a Song For The Lovers/Ladies..........Alright?
-
I'll-be-no buying one of them.
-
but he died on his arse at the Diana Memorial concert, now that was cringe worthy comedy
-
Paul "the party animal" Parker. He's out of control!
-
From Ricky's blog, Week One: "This is the first movie either of us have directed and only my second lead role in a Hollywood film, (my first being Ghost Town, released later this year)."
-
I want Karl Pilkington's movie with Clive Warren and Rebecca De Mornay
-
How his dad put a little disabled fella in a wheelie bin while all the other kids went to a funpark for the day. The REALLY funny part is, it's a TRUE story........Alright?
-
He has a head like a fucking orange and we all know Harry fears ANYTHING healthy........Alright?
-
but not in the morning.
-
A'right.
-
a lie was?
-
.....Karl:"The question is, how would I know which one I am?" Ricky: "That's probably the most stupid thing ever said by a human being."
