It’s not our fault if the Brits chose today to put all their interesting news online.

Let’s re-cap:

-This Side Of The Truth Launches Hilarious Official Blog

This side of the truth is a Ricky Gervais (The original Office) film about the first man to discover lying in a fictional world where everyone tells the truth.

More about Gervais’ official blog, a hint about his next film with Steven Merchant, the Boston production office and Nerf Guns after the jump.

If you haven’t subscribed to the Ricky Gervais podcasts with Steven Merchant, you’ve been missing out on some A-grade comedy.

Luckily, Ricky has decided to update us from his Boston production office for This Side of the Truth on a new blog detailing the production process.

Here’s the most current entry:

We’ve nearly finished casting. It’s an amazing line up but I can’t tell you all the cast just yet - not until the contracts are signed in blood. I should be able to spill the beans, as we say in England, in about a week or so.

I picked out all my costumes today. Some directors/lead actors would choose their wardrobe based on style, creation of original iconography and aesthetic enhancement of the fictional world. I chose mine based on comfort, how long they take to get in and out of and on what I would want to keep when the movie is complete.

I also had to choose a beard. I hate beards. They itch and the glue takes ages to get off. It’s only for one shooting day but it’s a pain.

(In the film I’m writing with Steve Merchant I’m playing a man with a bad back who sits in an arm chair all day. If I can hide a toilet in the armchair I will have created the perfect acting job for myself)

But anyway, back to This Side of the Truth.

Only a few weeks away from shooting now and I’m really looking forward to it. We’re in good shape and we’ve even started planning the DVD extras.

This is the first official word from This Side Of The Truth, so you can bet we’ll be checking back, especially if Gervais keeps video blogging and shooting his intern Jake with Nerf guns.

We need a new intern.

And some new Nerf guns.
