Gervais Delight At Landing Fiennes

That is a very big plus for Ricky having Ralph Fiennes on board for his new movie.

Ricky Gervais has managed to snag a Hollywood star for his big-screen directorial debut – award-winning actor Ralph Fiennes has signed on to star in Cemetery Junction.

The British comedian has written his first movie with Stephen Merchant – his fellow creator of hit TV show The Office – which the pair will co-direct.

And Gervais is delighted he has managed to persuade Fiennes to take on a role in the upcoming comedy about a group of 20-somethings working at a bank in the 1970s.

Gervais says, “I bumped into him (Fiennes) at the Toronto Film Festival and told him I had written a part with him in mind. I sent him the script and what do you now? He is an amazing actor and will bring a real weight to the movie. Can’t wait.”

Filming on Cemetery Junction – which was originally due to be called The Men At The Pru – is scheduled to start later this year.

Statham Embarrassed By Public Sex Scene

Now thats a sight I would not complain about seeing. I love Jason he is such a manly-man. I am a very big fan.

Movie tough-guy Jason Statham was left red-faced filming a sex scene in a shopping mall – his fellow actors took photos of his bare buttocks.

The Transporter actor had to strip for a saucy scene in front of dozens of extras playing passers-by.

But the British star was in for an embarrassing surprise – when the bit-part actors decided to capture the moment on their cell phones.

Statham tells Ocean Drive magazine, “Trying to do an aggressive sex scene is quite difficult. Especially in a public place with a crowd of screaming extras with their little camera phones going click-click, taking pictures of your pasty white ass. I’ve had my fair share of bedroom antics in films, but they were a little more private.”
