UPDATE 1: Sony took away trailer. I will have a chin wag with them and get it back.
UPDATE 2: We have a trailer…for now
This is the best 6am wake up ever. A few months ago we had the teaser for Cemetery Junction, and now the trailer is here (after the jump). If you saw my ‘Everything You Wanted To Know About Ricky Gervais’ article, then you probably know that there is a slight man crush going on between him and I. He just doesn’t know it, or he chooses not to acknowledge it…he doesn’t even write or call. Tosser.
Looking at an April 2010 UK release Cemetery Junction; co-written and co-directed by his frequent collaborator Stephen Merchant, Cemetery Junction looks to be exactly what Gervais wants to do in film, write what he knows. The Invention of Lying was a good looking ‘big time’ picture, where as Junction looks to be a home grown semi-biopic. It’s gonna be good innit?
CEMETERY JUNCTION Tells the funny, touching and universal story of being trapped in a small town and dreaming of escape. In 1970s England, three blue-collar friends spend their days joking, drinking, fighting 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. When Freddie gets a new job as a door-to-door salesman and bumps into his old school sweetheart Julie (Felicity Jones), the gang are forced to make choices that will change their lives for ever.
