When Ricky Gervais agreed to star in
Ghost Town--an odd hybrid of romance, buddy comedy and ghost story--he had three rules.
"There were three rules that Ricky had, and that was: No accent, no wigs, and he didn't want to kiss someone," co-writer and director David Koepp said in an interview. Gervais portrays a grumpy dentist in New York who can suddenly see and hear ghosts after a near-death experience of his own.
