Film

"30 Rock" creator/star Tina Fey; Christopher Guest, the writer-director of films including "Best in Show" and "A Mighty Wind"; actor Jeffrey Tambor ("The Larry Sanders Show," "Arrested Development" and the upcoming "Superhero Movie") and "Daily Show" correspondent John Hodgman are the latest additions to the cast.

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.

The Warner Bros. release, which Gervais is co-writing with Matt Robinson, also stars Jennifer Garner, Rob Lowe, Jonah Hill and Louis C.K.
