He's one of the brains behind 'mockumentaries' like This Is Spinal Tap and A Mighty Wind - now Christopher Guest is turning the camera on Hollywood in For Your Consideration. Yes, he's decided to make a film about the making of a bad film that ends up going all the way to the Oscars. "We all know many people who've been through this reality and how it changes them," says Guest. "This happens to be an area I know something about. It's a virus." Our very own Ricky Gervais will play the producer of the aforementioned cinematic stinker in what will largely be an improvised piece. He joins the likes of Guest's usual collaborators, Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Harry Shearer, Jennifer Coolidge, Michael McKean and Fred Willard. Guest shares writing credit with Levy but will call the shots himself. It's scheduled for release in late 2006 - just in time for the 2007 Oscar rush. |
