A little while ago we talked about the green light being given to a movie adaptation of the insanely popular “Confessions of a Shopaholic” book series. Well, we got more info… and from what I understand it seems to fit. Seems that Wedding Crasher red headed hottie Isla Fisher has snagged up the lead (and very coveted) role for the film that is sure to be a franchise of films.
The good folks over at comingsoon give us this:
Isla Fisher (Hot Rod, Wedding Crashers) will star in The Secret Dream World of a Shopaholic, an adaptation of the bestselling novel “Confessions of a Shopaholic” by Sophie Kinsella to be directed by P.J. Hogan and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. Filming is scheduled to begin this November in New York.
I like this move. Even in the midst of her total lunacy in Wedding Crashers, you could always tell Fisher was leading lady material. She has just a beautiful way of carrying herself and her characters. She’s not subtle, but she just commands your attention when she’s on screen… and somehow she really makes that work for her.
