Ricky Gervais to star in 'Truth'
Actor to co-direct comedy with Matt Robinson
By MICHAEL FLEMING

Ricky Gervais will take on the starring role in "This Side of the Truth."

The Media Rights Capital-financed comedy shoots in the spring.

Gervais had committed to co-direct the comedy with his co-writer Matt Robinson. Pic marks Gervais' feature directing debut and first major project since wrapping the HBO series "Extras," which begins its third season on Dec. 18. Gervais is nominated for four Emmys for the comedy.

"This Side of the Truth" is set in a contemporary world where no one has ever lied. Gervais will play a performer who tells the first lie and harnesses its power for personal gain.

"My character works in the film industry, where actors are really readers who tell completely factual stories," Gervais said. "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."

Pic will be produced by Lynda Obst and Oly Obst.

Curiosity got the best of me (and my nerd leanings...(yeah, leanings)) and I took out Weird Al's last album from the library (I also took out Yes, The Islands, and the last couple Tom Waits albums...again). Probably the best material I have heard of his in a long time, and his spoof of R.Kelly's pretentious epic "Trapped In The Closet", put to the mundane, is probably one of his greatest accomplishments.

Maybe it was just that I was listening to it on my headphones while washing the dishes...but the production of the drama worked...and I almost tumbled into the sink and drowned.

...I mean if you care to blast Weird Al.
 

Alls I am saying is it worked for me.

By chance I happen to have the Office outtakes on right now as I just finished watching the series again.

Jer's bro mentioned 'Extras' and I forgot aboot it entirely. Something else to download.

I've got to say, between "White and Nerdy" and now this, Weird Al is still the shit.  Seriously.
