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.
