The comedian's new movie is set in an alternative reality where his Mark Bellison character is the first person to tell a lie. The film's actors include Tina Fey, Jeffrey Tambor and Christopher Guest, as well as Edward Norton and Philip Seymour Hoffman in cameo roles.
Gervais told The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien: "Ed Norton [is] this crazed traffic cop who's got a strange perversion... I think it's like a day off for them, it's just fun for them. It is the comedy cast of the decade, it's incredible.
"I still know how lucky I am that these people want to work with me, maybe cause they like The Office or Extras or something."
Originally titled This Side Of The Truth, Gervais also co-wrote the script with Matthew Robinson.
He added: "It's more com than rom. It's a high-concept film set in a world where the human race hasn't evolved a gene for lying and so everyone says exactly what's on their minds."
The Invention Of Lying is released in UK and US cinemas on October 2.
