Ricky Gervais Double! Trailers for Cemetery Junction and The Invention of Lying

Trailers

You could never accuse Brit comedian Ricky Gervais of being lazy. He always seems to be involved with something, whether it's overseeing the American version of his hit creation The Office or keeping his hand in his stand-up comedy roots. Gervais has also seemingly conquered Hollywood; his recent roles in Ghost Town and Night at the Museum 2 were very well received, and he is currently working on two movies - Cemetery Junction and The Invention of Lying - which are already generating a huge buzz. And we've got trailers for them both!

Cemetery Junction, which has recently starting shooting in London, is a very British affair. It's set in the 1970s, and focuses on three men working in an insurance company. Co-starring Ralph Fiennes (Harry Potter), Emily Watson (Synecdoche, New York) and Matthew Goode (Watchmen), it's due for release next year. You can keep up to date with the film's production by checking out Ricky's Blog, and you can see the brand new teaser trailer, which debuted today on MSN, below...

invention_of_lying_1Gervais not only stars in The Invention of Lying, but he also co-written and directed the film with Matthew Robinson. Although it's still in post-production, those in the know - including Star Trek director JJ Abrams who has raved about the movie - are predicting big things for the biting comedy, with the word 'Oscar' already being bandied around. Co-starring Jennifer Garner (TV's Alias), Jonah Hill (Superbad) and Jason Bateman (Hancock), The Invention of Lying is set in a world where human beings don't know how to lie. It's set for release in October, and the trailer's below

Movie Highlight

The Woman in Black

Having relaunched in 2010 with the promise of delivering solid horror films for a modern audience, the output from the rebooted Hammer Films has been something of a mixed bag. While its inaugural release, remake Let Me In, was received with great fanfare, subsequent films The Resident and Wake Wood have been less successful. So with its first big release, The Woman in Black, Hammer has much to prove – and has piled on the pressure by choosing to adapt a story that’s not only a bestselling novel but also a long running West End play.

An additional challenge is that tale is so effective because of its simplicity; there are no big set pieces for a filmmaker to hide behind. So it’s reassuring to see that, while some elements of Susan Hill’s story have been tweaked to give it more of a cinematic scope, the narrative runs fairly true. At its heart is young lawyer Arthur Kipps (Daniel Radcliffe) who, still reeling from the death of his wife in childbirth four years previously, is sent to a remote village in order to organise the paperwork at the isolated Eel Marsh House. On his arrival he finds the locals most unwelcoming, believing that anyone disturbing the peace at the house brings tragedy to the village. Although initially sceptical, Kipps soon discovers that the mansion holds horrifying secrets, and that one of its former occupants is determined to exact terrifying revenge…

The Walking Dead

The living dead have been a mainstay of horror cinema for decades. Now they maraud onto the small screen in Frank Darabont’s adaptation of the graphic novel by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard.

Brit favourite Andrew Lincoln (This Life, Teachers) adopts a convincing drawl to take on the role of sheriff Rick Grimes, who wakes from a coma to find the local residents have become flesh-eating ghouls. While the initial set-up is reminiscent of 28 Days Later, these zombies are not Danny Boyle’s fast moving monsters, but the lumbering breed of tradition. That doesn’t dilute their impact; as Rick teams up with other survivors, the zombies are relentless in their pursuit and the tension builds to unbearable levels.
