Invention Of Lying trailer arrives

The first trailer for Ricky Gervais’ directing debut The Invention Of Lying has arrived online and you can truthfully watch it below.

Co-directed with Matthew Robinson (who also co-wrote) The Invention Of Lying finds Gervais as Mark a man in a world where no one lies, and speaks the bald-faced truth on every occasion.

But then one day at the bank, Mark suddenly hits upon the idea of fibbing, and his world changes radically.

He’s soon a massive celebrity and able to win the heart of the lovely Jennifer Garner. Yet his power has a downside…

With a comedy cast that includes the likes of Tina Fey, Jonah Hill, Rob Lowe and Christopher Guest, this looks like it’ll dig up a chuckle or two.

Take a look at the footage and decide for yourself…
