CEMETERY JUNCTION Tells the funny, touching and universal story of being trapped in a small town and dreaming of escape. In 1970s England, three blue-collar friends spend their days joking, drinking, fighting and chasing girls. Freddie (Christian Cooke) wants to leave their working-class world but cool, charismatic Bruce (Tom Hughes) and lovable loser Snork (Jack Doolan) are happy with life the way it is. When Freddie gets a new job as a door-to-door salesman and bumps into his old school sweetheart Julie (Felicity Jones), the gang are forced to make choices that will change their lives for ever. It's great to see Stephen Merchant and Ricky Gervais team up again. Ricky was without Stephen for both Ghost Town and The Invention of Lying. This trailer makes it look more like a drama than a comedy but knowing them, there will be lots of laughs throughout.
