Already hired are Robin Williams, Carla Gugino, Kim Raver, Mickey Rooney, Dick Van Dyke and Bill Cobbs.

Americas most wanted man, Ricky Gervais, was seen last night at New York’s Natural history museum. He is believed to be impersonating a Museum Director, and should be considered hairy and dryly funny. Wanted by Tom Cruise for rejecting a hotly sort after role in the upcoming M:i3, Ricky Gervais has been dashing from offer to offer accepting only the smallest cameo roles. He has also been spotted hiding behind a keyboard, a typewriter and other such writing equipment. If you should see him ... Read More

Howlo all reading this thread, and whassup y'all?
So hopefully this means by choosing to work with Gervais on this project he has parted ways on the proposed plans he had with another of our comedy monkeys namely Mr Steve Coogan on a big screen adaptation of the classic cult 1970's TV series

I would welcome the appearance of Ricky Gervais in anything (This man's talent would even go so far as making a Michael Bay movie tolerable in my book!).. His variety and curious brands of awkward, almost "anti-humour" never fail to impress me, and would only prove to strengthen any work from the very funny (yet rather one dimensional) Stiller. ...

IMHO Ricky's our best comedian, I loved The Office and Extras, and anything he does will have been chosen for the right reasons. He's obviously made some fancy friends. Can't wait! ... Read More

The cast is eclectic and promising, although I thought "Extras" was hideously unfunny and unwatchable and, unlike most of the known world, I don't worship at Gervaise's feet (I only thought "The Office" was patchily funny, aside from the wonderful Christmas Special). It's about time we had another really funny Robin Williams role though, and Ben Stiller is funny. Unsure about this, but will remain cautiously optimistic. ... Read More
