‘The Switch’ adaptation becomes “Life Of Crime”, premiering at TIFF

Last year it was reported that Isla would be joining the cast of a film adaptation of Elmore Leonard’s novel The Switch, and then earlier this year we heard reports that filming had started. After that though, I fell off the ball if you like and have not kept up with this movie! So we have some updates for you now – finally…

Isla was indeed pictured on the set of the movie earlier this year, therefore confirming her involvement in the project. As the original article stated, she is playing a character named Melanie, and is joined in the cast by Tim Robbins, John Hawkes, Mos Def and her friend Jennifer Aniston. The film is now titled Life Of Crime, and will be the closing night film for the upcoming Toronto Film Festival.

Find more details at IMDB.com and on the Toronto Film Festival’s page for the film. I will add info to our Filmography page for this film plus photos from the set soon.

Deadline also have an interview with the director Daniel Schechter:

As Adaptation Of Elmore Leonard Classic Heads For Toronto, Its Director Laments That His Idol Won’t Be There To See It

EXCLUSIVE: Like so many directors with Toronto-bound films, writer/director Daniel Schechter has been in a race to finish Life Of Crime, his adaptation of the Elmore Leonard novel The Switch. Schechter was particularly in a hurry because the 87-year old Leonard’s health was shaky and he was eager to see the movie after giving a free option to a relative newcomer who was crazy enough to adapt the novel on spec and then clean up rights issues that led all the way to France. Sadly, Schechter didn’t get done in time to show his literary idol the film that will be the closing night Gala Premiere at Toronto, starring Jennifer Aniston, John Hawkes, Mos Def, Tim Robbins, Isla Fisher and Will Forte.

First Isla fanart added!

I’m very grateful to our Twitter friend Nathii for tweeting us some fantastic collages she made of Isla, and for letting me post them here on the site! She used some of my favourite pics of Isla, and it is of course nice to see so many pics of Isla all together, right?!

Our fanart page doesn’t look so empty now, which is great 😀 If anyone else has made any fanart of any kind featuring Isla, and you’d like to see it displayed here on Isla Fisher Web, then just get in touch – I’d love to hear from you…



HQ TV Appearance Stills, New Photoshoot & more

The Gallery has been updated again with another batch of pictures in a variety of albums. Best of all these additions, are some fantastic HQ stills from Isla’s recent tv appearances on Daybreak and This Morning – we already had regular sized photos from them, but thanks to our star DeA we now have them much bigger, so they are worth another look or two! Other new uploads include more HQs of Isla outside the ITV Studios for the aforementioned talk shows, and a new photoshoot picture taken for UK Stella magazine.

New 2009 Australian Magazine Scans

With thanks to my beloved friend April we have some previously unseen scans from a couple of 2009 magazines when Isla was promoting Confessions Of A Shopaholic. Women’s Weekly had a short interview with her alongside a promotional photoshoot for Shopaholic, and In Style Australia reprinted the shoot and text from Isla’s earlier spread in the magazine’s UK edition. I always love seeing Isla in magazines from around the world, so loved seeing these spreads! Enjoy for yourself by clicking the previews below.

I’ve also been updating our content pages a bit, most notably the With Other Celebs and Cover-O-Graphy pages. More content updates (Film & Style related) coming soon!



Additional 2013 Appearance HQ Photos

Here’s a big update for you – I’ve added a ton of additional (mostly) HQ photos from several of Isla’s summer public appearances to promote Gatsby and Now You See Me! She looked particularly amazing at all events so I know you’ll all enjoy these extra shots. I just can’t decide on my favourite look from them … I love the Cannes and Now You See Me premieres the most … how about you?

Big thanks goes to my friend DeA for many of these photos ♡
