British ‘Office’ Star Takes to the Big Screen

Here’s a bit of great news—Ricky Gervais, who created and starred in the original The Office is going to star along with Greg Kinnear in a romantic comedy titled Ghost Town. Oh man, do I ever love Ricky Gervais, and his recent news to pass on another season of Extras had me feeling downright glum. There’s a little pep in my step now though, because not only do I dig on Gervais, but I’m crazy about Kinnear too. I have been a diehard Kinnear fan since the old Talk Soup days on E! This is a supernatural type-y film, where one of them will play a dentist who dies while performing routine surgery, comes back and can see dead people. They probably drive him crazy to some comedic degree, demanding that the dentist help the dead folk get in touch with the living. Gervais has appeared in For Your Consideration, Night at the Museum and the upcoming film Stardust.
