Always hilarious Rick Gervais and always perky Jennifer Garner will star opposite one another in the film “This Side of the Truth.” Gervais, known for creating the original British version of “The Office,” as well as “Extras,” will co-write and co-direct the film.

Gervais will play a man who is so adept at lying that he lands a beautiful woman, played by Garner. Production will begin in the spring.
