Gervais Blogs, Giggles About 'This Side of the Truth'
I Watch Stuff - The Best Movie News Ever — The usually funny (if not self-indulgent) Ricky Gervais has started a video blog covering the production of This Side of the Truth, his upcoming comedy about the first man to lie in a world where no one has. Only three are up so far, and, typical of Gervais's home videos, they mostly focus on his shrill laughter and ridiculing his underlings. Still, it might be worthwhile if you're a fan of Gervais, and at least he doesn't call it a "vlog". This Side of the Truth: Ricky's Blog... [RickyGervais.com]

Have You Checked The Blog Yet For The New Ricky Gervais Film? You Should!
Ain't It Cool News - The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news. — 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 ...

Ricky Gervais Blogs 'This Side of The Truth'
Cinematical — Filed under: Comedy, Movie MarketingSince Ricky Gervais has always been a chatty sort, it should come as no surprise that for his directorial debut, This Side of the Truth, the film would come hand in hand with its very own blog. Gervais is directing alongside Matthew Robinson (they also wrote the film) and the story is set in a future where no one lies -- heck, they don't even know how. Gervais reportedly plays a history professor who 'invents' the art of deception. At first, he only uses his new found skill to liven up his lectures, but he then turns to the ...

The Office Star Mocks Your Tiny Local Paper [Dead Trees]
Gawker — Ricky Gervais, star of the original British version of deadpan TV comedy the Office, just started a personal blog and has already resorted to that old blogger standby, local media criticism. But Gervais' video sendup of the Lowell, Mass. Sun is, as you'd expect, far more entertaining than the local press commentary most internet cranks churn out. The comedian's short skit is delivered in the deceptively gentle tones of Gervais' Office character and mocks the character's own pomposity. At the same time, it nails the defining pitfalls of community journalism -- the typos, excessive ...

FirstShowing.net — Late last year we brought you news of Rickey Gervais' upcoming foray into big Hollywood with his project This Side of the Truth.

Today, we learn via Gervais' blog that John Hodgman, Tina Fey, Christopher Guest and Jeffrey Tambor are now part of the team. This is shaping up to be some cast. This Side of the Truth is an interesting comedy that sounds very much in line with Gervais' deadpan, calculated humor. Essentially, the ...

The story is set in a world where no one has ever lied, and, according to Gervais, he plays "a loser who discovers one day that he, and only he has the ability to lie. In a world where no one even understands the concept of lying, everyone totally believes, without question anything I tell them. I can say anything at all and they accept this as the gospel truth. I can get anything I want. Or can I?" Secondly: Gervais is awesomely blogging his experience ...

As Jessica posted earlier this month, Ricky Gervais has a blog for his upcoming comedy, This Side of the Truth, and he's just announced the final casting. He writes in an entry: "We are trying to avoid the 'Hollywood actor look'. No botox, perma-tans, or unfeasibly white teeth..." Who could that mean for casting?

Quartet of Comedy Titans Join 'This Side of the Truth'
I Watch Stuff - The Best Movie News Ever — Unabashed love for Ricky Gervais is well-documented in the archives of this blog. However, even after the sublime The Office, hilarious Extras and repeat listen-friendly The Ricky Gervais Show, I was getting worried that Gervais' in production film This Side of the Truth would amount to little more than Liar Liar turned on its head. My fears have been assuaged considerably today with the casting of four mighty, and varied, comedic voices: John Hodgman, Tina Fey, Jeffrey Tambor and Christopher Guest. Surely these consistently funny individuals wouldn't ...

Teen Wolf Too Joins 'This Side of the Truth'
I Watch Stuff - The Best Movie News Ever — After adding the esteemed likes of John Hodgman, Tina Fey, Jeffrey Tambor, and Christopher Guest to This Side of the Truth, how could Ricky Gervais make his cast any more comically desirable? How about another Arrested Development alumnus--say, a Bateman? Yes, that does it. This is sizing up to be either one of the greatest successes in comedy history or a disappointment comparable to when the 2004 U.S. Men's Olympic Basketball Team, composed of NBA pros like Tim Duncan and Allen Iverson, only managed to capture a bronze medal after a devastating loss from the Argentinean Team.

Rob Lowe gets shot in face with Nerf Guns
Oh No They Didn't! — RICKY GERVAIS SAYS ON HIS BLOG: Did some really funny scenes today with Rob Lowe, Tina Fey and the great Jeffrey Tambor. Lunch time I had chicken and mash and introduced Rob and Tina to the joys of Nerf guns. Warner Brothers saw this blog and sent some of the most incredible Nerf weaponry in the world.

He was fine but it made me think ...

Gervais's 'This Side of the Truth' Production Blog Still Entertaining
I Watch Stuff - The Best Movie News Ever — Ricky Gervais's This Side of the Truth production blog has quickly become the standard by which I'm judging all other production blogs (besides Aaron's uniquely retarded Street Fighter blog, of course). Focusing on his mock disrespect and Nerf gun assaults of his co-stars, Gervais has found a formula that is far more entertaining than the usual fare of storyboards and interviews with the costume department. In his latest video entry, he attacks Jason Bateman's bare ass with foam darts, then proceeds to remind us the Arrested Development actor is, first and foremost, Teen Wolf Too. If ...

I Watch Stuff - The Best Movie News Ever — I don't really get into the whole end-of-year "top ten best/worst films" thing. It seems like a lot of pointless work to summarize the year into ten good or bad things when I've already spent the entire year telling you how there were probably ten good things and everything else bad things. Also, I'm a fool, so I'd definitely be wrong about most everything, and you don't need my fool opinion stacked on the thousands of others--particularly when there are "Most Insanely Apple-esque Silverhawk Vehicles" lists to get to. But what I will do is point you to the "top ten best/worst film" list I've most enjoyed reading so ...

Ricky Gervais proposes sending Paris & Posh back to their own countries
Cele|bitchy — Ricky Gervais is a crazy, hilarious genius. He plots and plots away in his lair, which I think is probably a nice rental in Los Angeles. What is he plotting, dare you ask? He’s plotting a way to get rid of both Victoria “Posh” Beckham and Paris Hilton. Ricky was really upset that not only is Paris Hilton filming her horrid BBF show in London, she actually dared to buy a house in London, not far from Ricky’s house. Ricky feels that this insult to his country is some sort of cosmic payback for America accepting Posh into our hearts and our country. Attempting to rectify the situation, Ricky wrote an ...

But with Ricky Gervais feeding him jokes, I'm reassured that Jackman is ...

Oscars Rumors Fly As Entire World Holds Its Collective Breath
Vulture — That's Entertainment! Much like the top-secret ending to The Crying Game,* the producers of this year's Oscars ceremony have done a valiant job keeping the goings-on under a tight veil of secrecy.

'This Side Of Truth' Now 'The Invention Of Lying'
FlicksNews.net — Ricky Gervais has changed the title of his debut film as director 'This Side Of Truth' and reverted it back to its original title 'The Invention Of Lying' because it’s easier to market.

"Been To The Gym?"
Hollywood Elsewhere — "Been To The Gym?" I may as join the crowd and post this HD trailer for Ricky Gervais and Matthew Robinson 's The Invention of Lying (Warner Bros., 9.25). Trailers always misrepresent what a film actually is (i.e., how it plays) so you always have to take them with a grain. But the basic impression I'm getting is that the film may be a little too on-the-nose -- an explicit comic thesis going through the movie motions. But maybe not.
