Watch the Trailer for The Invention of Lying

The first U.S. trailer for Ricky Gervais' upcoming comedy The Invention of Lying has finally hit that series of tubes we lovingly call the Internets, and it looks pretty excellent. Beyond boasting a pretty great concept -- in a world where people only tell the truth, Ricky Gervais finally comes up with the idea to lie -- it features an incredible cast that includes Jennifer Garner, Tina Fey, Jonah Hill and the great Louis C.K.

I've been reading about this movie for months and months, since back when it was called This Side of the Truth. I still prefer that title, because it's cooler sounding and way less on-the-nose, but I'm sure it made studio types nervous because it sounds like a documentary. What should we call a movie about the invention of lying? I know! What a great idea -- to literally name a movie exactly what it's about. I can't wait to see Giant Fighting Robots Who Are Racial Stereotypes and Who Make Us All Dumber.

Check out the trailer for The Invention of Lying now. It's great. No lie.

The Invention of Lying hits theaters September 25, 2009.
