The Office writer and executive producer Ricky Gervais has recruited funny lady Tina Fey and funny guy Christopher Guest (writer-director of Best in Show, A Mighty Wind) to the cast of his feature directorial debut, This Side of the Truth. Set in a world in which the concept of lying doesn't exist, the story centers on a loser (Gervais) who changes his lot when he invents lying and uses it to get ahead, according to Reuters. Actor Jeffrey Tambor (George Bluth Sr. on Arrested Development and star in Superhero Movie) and Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman are the latest additions to the cast, which includes Jennifer Garner, Rob Lowe, Jonah Hill and Louis C.K.
