The Invention of Lying Trailer. Really, I'm Not Lying.

The greatest comedian alive today, Ricky Gervais (and his equally as brilliant partner Stephen Merchant) have a new movie coming out in the fall called The Invention of Lying, formerly known as This Side of the Truth.
Ricky Gervais directs himself in This Side of the Truth, a comedy in which everyone in the world tells the truth except for one misfit in the film industry, who after discovering the act of lying, milks it to become the world's most phenomenal performer. Matthew Robinson will co-direct from his own script that he and Gervais collaborated on. The film stars Jennifer Garner, Rob Lowe, Louis C.K., Jonah Hill, Jason Bateman, Patrick Stewart, Martin Starr and more.
I loved Ghost Town so I'm really looking forward to Invention of Lying. While The Hangover is hands down the funniest film so far this year, we'll have to wait and see if it can hold onto that crown once Lying is released.
Check out the trailer below.
And if you're as big of a Gervais whore as I am, you of course follow his wacky exploits on his blog where he posts updates on his films, books, podcasts and more.
Here's a few production photos from his current movie, Cemetery Junction. Click on any of them to check out his official blog.
