Winslet as Sylvia Llewelyn Davies in Miramax's 'Finding Neverland'
Kate Winslet and Jude Law are to star in "Extras," Ricky Gervais’ follow-up to his award winning show, "The Office."

Gervais will play a film extra on a movie, which stars the two actors, though they will play caricatures of themselves.

Apparently Winslet was very keen to work with Gervais, being a huge fan of "The Office."

He told the Sun newspaper: "It's great to have Kate Winslet and Jude Law on board as we have so few British people who have made it big in Hollywood, but these are two who have." 

Winslet can currently be seen in "Finding Neverland," where she stars alongside Johnny Depp.

Meantime Gervais is due to star in "Mission: Impossible 3" with Tom Cruise, which is due to start filming in the summer. Seems that he knows director J.J. Abrams well and was offered a part.
