Look out! Ricky Gervais and Christopher Guest to do a movie!

Edited on Wed Aug-24-05 01:38 PM by supernova

OMG! I can't imagine what this will look like! :wow: :rofl: :wow:

Gervais poised for Hollywood role
Gervais plays bit-part actor Andy Millman in Extras
Comic star Ricky Gervais is to play a studio boss in a Hollywood film about the movie awards season, called For Your Consideration.

Gervais, who co-wrote and starred in TV comedies The Office and Extras, will play a man convinced his awful film is going to bag an honour.

Written and directed by Spinal Tap star Christopher Guest, the film will also feature American Pie's Eugene Levy.

Filming is due to get under way in October, Gervais' spokesman confirmed.

2. I hope the rest of Guest's stock cast are in it.

Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Fred Willard, Parker Posey.

I always look forward to a new Christopher Guest film. Thanks for the info. :-)

4. I hope so as well

They play so well off each other. I can't imagine improving your way through an entire movie, but they do it.

5. I've never seen "Extras"

Is it any good? Is it a current show?

I absolutely adored The Office! If that's any indication, this film will be really nice.
