My favorite Aussie just landed the lead role in a film based off of Sophie Kinsella's
Confessions of a Shopaholic.
The film will find the future mother of Borat's children playing a financial journalist who gets in over her head when her shopping habit becomes more an addiction than an affectation. I hate when that happens. It's going to be directed by PJ Hogan who also helmed "Muriel's Wedding" so maybe Isla will have to put on a few pounds and become fixated by Abba. Here's to hoping!
Also, Variety reports that the film will begin lensing in November. Isn't she due to give birth at some point during the winter? Won't she be huge? Is it really confessions of a pregnant shopaholic? Not that there's anything wrong with that. It sure does add a new angle to the storyline though.
