This Side of the Truth
7/11/08 - Actor and writer Ricky Gervais is now in the process of
editing his fantastical film This Side of the Truth, which
marks his feature-film directorial debut. Gervais is co-directing
the project with co-writer Matthew Robinson. In the film, "I play
the man who can lie," Gervais said. "It's a world in America, and
the human race had never had the gene for lying, and I'm the first
person who can lie. It was either me or Jim Carrey."
11/20/07 - Jennifer Garner may star with Ricky Gervais in the alternate-universe comedy movie This Side of the Truth. The film is set in a world where lying doesn't exist, and the story centers on an Everyman who figures out how to lie and uses his newfound ability to woo a beautiful woman way out of his league and become a success at work. The script was developed by Ricky Gervais and Matthew Robinson.
