Ricky Gervais and Eric Bana are a couple of frauds. First trailer to Netflix's original movie "Special Correspondents" reveals how two hosts of a local radio station in New York fake a report on terrorism act in Ecuador.
The film is about a struggling radio journalist named Frank (Bana) whose arrogance and decadent lifestyle has hindered his career. With his job on the line, he fakes front line war reports from the comfort of his hideout above a Spanish restaurant in Queens. Gervais plays the sound engineer named Finch.
Benjamin Bratt appears in the film as Frank's TV anchor rival who reports that the two radio crew go MIA. "Everyone is looking for us, which means we have to go to Ecuador for real," Frank tells Finch. The flick is supported by America Ferrera, Vera Farmiga, Kevin Pollak, and Kelly Macdonald among others.
Gervais wrote and directed the action comedy, which is scheduled to premiere April 29 on the streaming giant.
