- Summary: Ghost Town / Ricky Gervais: HRN-2623 Ghost Town Ricky Gervais
- Description:12:43:57 - A01. HRN-2623 In: 12.43.57 Out: 12.44.31 Sound Bite: Ricky Gervais Uhm well its all done and dust now, I enjoyed it. I mean you know acting and mucking around and coming up with stupid jokes, it doesnt matter whether youre a lead in a Hollywood Film or doing it for the tele you know the difference is the camera and the the you know the world stage uhm but uhm its its good that the films turned out well. You know I uh Im very proud of it so it feels nice that we achieved something. 12:44:34 - A02. HRN-2623 In: 12.44.34 Out: 12.45.29 Sound Bite: Ricky Gervais No uhm I got the first uhm draft the script and I read it and it was the best script Ive read in five years and then uhm uh we sort of worked on it together, David came to London and then on the day you know we played with it, I mean everyday, every scene, uh wed play with it. And I think that shows on screen, I think it, you can see the improve in their (talks) but thats whatd fun about it really. But I must say you know the script when I read it I thought, this is me and uhm and I turned everything down till that point and I got that funny feeling and I thought this is my film, you know I could have written and so I got very excited and uh I couldnt be happier with it and it was shooting in New York uh yeah it was great. 12:45:38 - A03. HRN-2623 In: 12.45.38 Out: 12.46.08 Sound Bite: Ricky Gervais Well Chris is a comedienne as well, I think shes a comedienne first an actor second so uhm those scenes were crazy and the scene where she says that thing it came back and I got what came back, what came back she says something different every time. She said my rash, Im pregnant and I went, every adlib, the take was ruined. So uhm I think we did about 35 takes on that one. 12:46:12 - A04. HRN-2623 In: 12.46.12 Out: 12.46.44 Sound Bite: Ricky Gervais Can you hold in your laughter? Oh I cant keep it in if something is funny I laugh, I ruin the take and I dont apologize for it and when I am directing if someone laughs I dont shout at them I laugh. Because I think that that goes on screen I think people can see a good time was had. It would be awful to do a film that you hate during the process just for the result, lifes too short, you know its only an hour and a half and it takes three months to make so surly youve got to enjoy the three months otherwise your priorities are wrong. You know. 12:46:48 - A05. HRN-2623 In: 12.46.48 Out: 12.47.12 Sound Bite: Ricky Gervais Worked on the office distinguish yourself from the character Ah yeah I think uh I think the difference between myself and other actors there are willing to sort of like put make up on and put wigs on right and I prefer the ironing bed (?) so I always just look the same so people confuse with my characters but it is still better then getting up an hour early.
