The Invention Of Lying Universal

Ricky Gervais directs himself in THE INVENTION OF LYING, a comedy in which everyone in the world tells the truth except for one misfit in the film industry, who after discovering the act of lying, milks it to become the world's most phenomenal performer. When GervaisÆs character realises he doesn't have to always tell the truth, things begin to change with inevitably hilarious results. Matthew Robinson co-directs from his own script that he and Gervais collaborated on. It's no surprise that the British comedian would be able to assemble a superb ensemble of funnymen (and funnywomen) for his directorial debut, but THE OFFICE star truly impresses with this list: Jennifer Garner, Rob Lowe, Jonah Hill, and Louis C. K. co-star in the Media Rights Capital production, with John Hodgman, Tina Fey, Christopher Guest, and Jeffrey Tambor rounding out the rest of the cast.
