Ricky Gervais Stands This Side Of The Truth

Funny man Ricky Gervais will take the lead in his new movie, This Side of the Truth. Gervais will co-direct the film with his co-writer Matt Robison. The film is Ricky’s feature directing debut and his first major project since Extras.

The film is set in a world where no one has ever lied. Gervias will play the person who tells the first lie and harnesses its power for personal gain.

Speaking to Variety about the film, Gervais said,

“My character works in the film industry, where actors are really readers who tell completely factual stories. My character’s a loser who’s about to lose his job, and who’s lumbering through the 1300s. All he’s got to work with is the Black Death. But once he lies and pretends he’s found lost stories, he becomes the greatest storyteller in the world.”
