Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant have announced that their next project will be a feature film.
Gervais has previously stated that he plans to make movies based on both of his 'Flanimals' children's books, but has now also revealed that he will be conceiving a new venture with The Office and Extras collaborator Stephen Merchant.
"We want to do something that no one else can do. Or improve on something that has been done before. You're allowed to tell the same old stories, as long as you tell it better," he noncommittally told Media Guardian.
"Boy meets girl is pretty much as good as it gets. Redemption, overcoming a struggle. These are stories that have been told a million times before. It's whether you do them well or badly. Or worse, indifferently."
Gervais will make his live-action feature debut in Christopher Guest's For Your Consideration next year.
