Studio Synopsis:
Unbeknownst to us, Manhattan is crowded with ghostly apparitions and unexpected redemption for the living - and even for the recently departed - in the comic fantasy "Ghost Town."

It all begins with Dr. Bertram Pincus (Golden Globe winner RICKY GERVAIS), a man whose people skills leave much to be desired. When Pincus dies unexpectedly during a routine medical procedure, 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 (Academy Award® nominee GREG KINNEAR), who pesters him into attempting to break up the impending re-marriage of his widow Gwen (TÉA LEONI).

"Ghost Town" brings together the comic imaginations of two of Hollywood's most intriguing talents: writer-director David Koepp (screenwriter of "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," among many others; writer/director of "Secret Window" and "Stir of Echoes") and Ricky Gervais (the Golden Globe-winning creator and star of the original "The Office" and HBO's "Extras"), who makes his debut as an eccentric leading man in the film. The result is a witty, sophisticated, yet riotous comedy about a man who is haunted by his past - and given a rare chance to exorcise all his demons.
