Watch the trailer for forthcoming Ricky Gervais romantic comedy Ghost Town.

The film is the first big screen starring role for Extras and Office creator Ricky.

Bertram Pincus (Gervais), is a man whose people skills leave much to be desired. When Pincus dies unexpectedly, but is miraculously revived after seven minutes, he wakes up to discover that he now has the annoying ability to see ghosts.

Even worse, they all want something from him, particularly Frank Herlihy (Greg Kinnear) who pesters him into breaking up the impending marriage of his widow Gwen (Téa Leoni). That puts Pincus squarely in the middle of a triangle with spirited result.

Ghost Town is released in the UK in October.
