Ricky Gervais may not believe in God, but he's about to play Him.
The non-believing "Office" mastermind took to his blog Thursday to share some details about "Afterlife," the new show he's planning with "Dexter" producer Clyde Phillips. The comedy is about an atheist who dies goes to heaven.
"Anyway," Gervais writes, "I play God…"
Not the typical, wise, benevolent God — that's Morgan Freeman's thing, Gervais notes. His own version will be "an arrogant, wisecracking son of a bitch, who thinks he's the best thing since sliced bread. … Actually he thinks he's the best thing ever because… well, he is.
