Written and Directed by Matthew Robinson and Ricky Gervais.

Looks to be a good cast. Besides Gervais, Bateman, and Tambor, Tina Fey, Rob Lowe, Christopher Guest, Jonah Hill, Jennifer Garner, John Hodgeman and Louis C.K. will appear.

Sounds interesting.

I thought this was pretty funny:

"Jason Bateman was furious with me for blogging the details of his botched sex-change operation and out of control drug abuse. He burst into my trailer fuming and shouting "I'm not high, I'm drunk. I'm bleeping drunk OK? Drunk."

He then started to take of his trousers mumbling "I'll show you a bleeping sex-change. They bleeping butchered me and you think it's funny. I was teen wolf you mother-fucking limey"

"Well, teen wolf too" I said.

"How are you spelling the too bit?'' he snapped. "T double O" I replied. "Good," he said, a little calmer.

Then, tearful he thanked me for casting him and left. He may have left without his trousers but he left with his bleeping dignity god damn it.

I captured the moment on my iPhone."

Another Ricky Gervais Blog Post involving Bateman.

Week ten - April 2008

So the end to a great week.

Yesterday I spent the day pretending to confuse Jason Bateman with Michael J. Fox. The more he didn't laugh the funnier it was.

He got most annoyed when I thought he was 40 something. "I'm 39" he said in a high voice, and asked for more make-up.

At one point the sound-man said he could hear Jason's hair because there was so much product in it.

After lunch I went to his trailer to shoot him with my biggest nerf gun (that sounds like a gay euphemism but it isn't). I knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" he said in a camp Teen Wolf Too type voice.

"Ricky" I said.

So for a joke he opened the door mooning me.

This was a bad Idea for two reasons.
1. I shot him in the arse.
2. We were filming it on the cam-corder.
Footage coming soon.

Make-up is for girls...

And another...

Me and Jason Bateman.

I think we're both attractive in our own way

Haha I love seeing my favourite comedians meeting and working together... Edgar Wright and Michael Cera, Simon Pegg and Will Arnett (kinda), Steve Coogan and Larry David, Mitch Hurwitz and Armando Ianucci, Jason Bateman and Ricky Gervais... Awesome...

I met Ricky Gervais once (in a lift... no escape for him!) so technically I've met Jason Bateman. So there.
