A few months ago Ricky Gervais announced he was working on a new television show called Life’s Too Short, and that alone is plenty of reason to get Gervcited (a term I just coined for the feeling one gets whenever Ricky Gervais is about to do something awesome… admittedly it may still need work). But it seems that the story may be even bigger than just another brilliant, legendary, Ricky Gervais TV show. He may turn it into a movie too.

Gervais says he’s already planning a movie version of the series. He’ll wait to see how the show does first, of course. But he’s looking on the bright side of life and says, “Let's have it ready in case it's a success. Always plan for success.”

Here’s the only bad news in all of this. Ricky Gervais isn’t actually part of the show, except for the occasional cameo from he and his writing partner Stephen Merchant. But here’s more good news. It stars famed dwarf actor Warwick Davis. The show is about Warwick dealing with life in showbiz at his size and Ricky describes it as sort of like Curb Your Enthusiasm with Warwick, which sounds just far too good to be true. I can’t even begin to imagine that working as a movie, but if anyone can find a way to pull that off, Ricky Gervais can.
