Trailer for Ricky Gervais’ Cemetery Junction

February 2, 2010

Anyone up for a British romantic comedy of sorts? Because this looks good! Yahoo has debuted the first full trailer for Cemetery Junction co-written and co-directed by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. To be honest, this looks much more like a drama with some occasional comedic moments than it does a straightforward comedy, but that’s not bad. I love the music, I love the characters, and overall it looks pretty damn good. I just hope it’s a lot funnier than this trailer is.

Cemetery Junction, set in 1970s England, follows three blue-collar friends who spend their days joking, drinking and chasing girls. Freddie (Christian Cooke) wants to leave their working-class world but cool, charismatic Bruce (Tom Hughes) and lovable loser Snork (Jack Doolan) are happy with life the way it is.

Cemetery Junction is co-written and co-directed by British comedians Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, the two geniuses behind the original “Office” and “Extras” on HBO. This is their first feature film together. Cemetery Junction started shooting last June and is due for release from Sony Pictures sometime in 2010.
