Now that the HBO comedy "Extras" is on hiatus and Ricky Gervais is on the tip of everyone's tongue, he's been sifting through some choice comedy scripts. He's already wrapped Ghost Town, a fantasy comedy with Tea Leoni where--in the vain of Eva Longoria's horrendous Over Her Dead Body--he dies and is miraculously revived only to discover that he can now see dead people--one in particular who wants him to break up his widow's marriage.
Gervais will soon start production on another comedy he's co-written called This Side of Truth, which is about a guy who lives in a world where no one lies. Because of his dull job of retelling the history of the 1300s, he invents lying to spice things up. Then suddenly he realizes how helpful it would be in stealing Jennifer Garner away from hunky Rob Lowe ("Brothers & Sister"). Jonah Hill will play his depressed neighbor and comedian Louis C.K. will be his best friend.
