Trailer - Cemetary Junction

Here is the trailer for Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's new film "Cemetary Junction".

Once thing you notice right away is the lack of jokes, which i think is a good thing. I think Ricky Gervais has been believing his own comedy hype a little too much recently, so it's nice to see him take a step back and let his writing, which is brilliant, do a bit more of the talking.

I think this looks ok. It looks like a throwback to the the kitchen sink era of great british filmmaking...just with much prettier people. As Ricky Gervais told Time Out ‘We wanted some of that blue-collar truth, but with good-looking people and good lighting.’'.

Well, you instantly lose some of that blue collar truth when you add pretty people and fake lights, but i'll come to that in another post...
