• Ricky Gervais Owns Social Discomfort

  The dead do not go quietly -- or at least that's what Ricky Gervais discovers in Ghost Town. As a curmudgeonly dentist who has a near-death experience, his character is especially annoyed to find that one of the side effects of surviving is an entourage of ghosts. And, of course, they all want something from him. In our interview with Ricky Gervais, the stand-up comic, perhaps best known for his role in the British version of The Office, talks about being called the "Master of Uncomfortable Humor."

• Leoni, Gervais, and Kinnear - Oh my!

  Actress Téa Leoni (Spanglish, The Family Man) has signed on to star in Ghost Town, an upcoming romantic comedy that will co-star Ricky Gervais (Extras, Night at the Museum) and Greg Kinnear (As Good as it Gets, Little Miss Sunshine), says Variety.

  Ghost Town is written and directed by David Koepp (Secret Window, Spider Man). In it, Gervais will play a "misanthropic dentist" who dies and then is revived while receiving a colonoscopy.

  Afterwards, he has the power to see dead people--namely a ghost (in the form of Greg Kinnear) who wants Gervais to break up the impending marriage of his widow (Leoni).

  Sounds like Ghost Town has the makings of a very funny movie. Do you think there is any way we can pre-order our opening night tickets now? Seriously. We're asking.
