Ghost Town Trailer Online
Dreamworks has released the first trailer for Ghost Town, a film in which Ricky Gervais plays a dentist who dies for seven minutes and subsequently acquires the ability to see dead people. One dead person he sees is a man played by Greg Kinnear who wants help in stopping his wife (Tea Leoni) from marrying another man. Watch the trailer here.

Written and directed by David Koepp, Ghost Town is released in the US on September 19 and in the UK on October 24.

C'mon people! this guy has already created two televisual joys. He's chosen his first hollwood piece carefully. The guy is actually loved for his rejection of the celebrity system, he's done this because he wanted to. This could well be joyous!! ... Read More

Talent Vacuum
Once again Gervais is showing his complete lacking of acting talent. Now all we have to do is wait until the arrogance kicks in again and he starts rabbiting on about how great he is and wonderful he is which if it was a joke (and believe me it is a joke to think he is) has only gone on for a couple of years too long. ... Read More

Well I think it looks funny!
Although there were two Curb-esq moments in the trailer (holding the lift, question about his colonoscopy) Listen, Ricky will be typecast like that at first, but he has great comical timing so this film should be pretty entertaining. Good one to take your girlfriend to, that is, if any of you have a girlfriend... ... Read More

Come on Gervais, do something funny again.  The Office was great but since then you seem to do only rubbish.  Get Merchant out to america and come up with something fucking genius that has something to do with that round headed prick Karl Pilkington. ... Read More
