Cemetery Junction Begins Filming in London

Cemetery Junction (previously Men at the Pru) began filming in London this week. In addition to Felicity and Ricky Gervais, the lead cast now consists of:

Ralph Fiennes
Emily Watson
Matthew Goode
Christian Cooke
Tom Hughes
Jack Doolan

And the plot:
"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." (RickyGervais.com)

The movie's already been picked up for distribution (Warner Brothers and Universal) and is scheduled for release in 2010.

Cemetary Junction to also be a TV show

From Digital Spy:

    Ricky Gervais has revealed that his upcoming movie will become a TV series.

    Speaking to Empire, Gervais said that he will oversee a small screen spinoff of Cemetery Junction, his '70s-set comedy-drama about employees working at insurance firm the Prudential.

    "It was once going to be a TV show and maybe still is, but we're trying to do it the M*A*S*H* way round," he said. "We thought that when you do a TV show and then do a film, generally it's awful. One, it taints the film with a TV brush. It breaks its credibility a little bit. I don't want to do a film that's just an extended TV episode. So we want to give the film its best shot and treat it with the reverence a film deserves.


It's unclear who amongst the cast will be in the show:
    Gervais conceded that he may not be able to use all the movie's cast for the TV show, saying: "We want to use the main characters from the film. Except they'll have become bigshots and they won't return my calls. I'm like Simon Cowell. I get 50% of their wages forever now."

Felicity Says She's a Rebel


"I'm a complete rebel," she tells Mandrake. "Well I used to be a lot more than I am now. I started acting at 12 and so at a young age I had all this independence and I think I didn't know how to channel is properly. My mum and I came to blows a few times but we are very close now."

The actress admits that playing conservative characters has its uses.

"It is a good cover," she explains.
