Shopping Landmark Turns Into Flea Market for Film

It’s only fitting that Becky Bloomwood would browse the aisles of one of the city’s most popular shopping destinations when she was in town yesterday.

Isla Fisher, who stars as Bloomwood, the lead character in the upcoming Confessions of a Shopaholic flick, was filming yesterday at United House Wrecking on Hope Street with co-stars John Goodman and Joan Cusack.

In the new movie, the Wedding Crashers actress plays a financial journalist who knows more about the marketplace than the stock market, and her shopping obsession threatens to destroy her love life and career.

The antiques emporium’s parking lot was transformed into a New Jersey flea market – the “Nutley Stop & Swap” – for a scene in which Fisher is strolling the aisles of vintage toys and bric-a-brac while wearing knee-high metallic boots and chatting away on her cell phone.

Shopaholic On Set Pics – March 31, 2008

New images have been added of Isla Fisher on the set of Confessions of a Shopaholic in New York a few days back. Quite a bit of various images have been uploaded in the past few days, including Wedding Daze DVD caps… But more on those once I’ve finished capping and uploading the rest.

Scan Additions

I’ve added a bunch of scans of Isla Fisher in the gallery, including some dating back as far as 1995 and some from last weekend (Australian Sunday cover story). I want to thank April and Mycah for their very generous and lovely donations! Much appreciated! View the new additions here.

Swimming Pool Clips

I’ve added video clips and the trailer of Isla’s 2001 film Swimming Pool. She has a small role in this so I’ve basically clipped all of her scenes. To be honest, the film is not worth seeing for reasons any other than Miss Isla (and talented actor James McAvoy, who plays her boyfriend). It really is rather bad. I hope you’ll still enjoy these rare videos of her!
