Isla was snapped looking lovely in white on the set of Bachelorette last week, filming a scene with Kirsten Dunst and Lizzy Caplan in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park. I’ve added photos into the Gallery for your viewing pleasure:

Another new role for Isla!? How exciting!! It’s a different genre than we’re used to seeing her in too, and the cast is good.
Isla Fisher, currently in Australia filming Baz Luhrmann’s “The Great Gatsby,” is in negotiations to join the cast of Summit Entertainment’s magician heist pic “Now You See Me.”
Mark Ruffalo is set to star as the leader of a team of FBI agents who are investigating the Four Horsemen, a squad of the world’s greatest illusionists who pull off a series of daring bank heists during their performances, then shower the profits on their auds. Jesse Eisenberg will play the arrogant yet brilliant leader of the Four Horsemen, while Morgan Freeman and Melanie Laurent co-star as an ex-magician and a federal agent, respectively.
Fisher is in talks to play Henley, a master technician who builds contraptions to aid in the illusion of the heists. Amanda Seyfried had been in negotiations for the role but her deal never closed.
Louis Leterrier is directing from a script by Edward Ricourt (“Year 12”) and Boaz Yakin.
Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are producing via their shingle Kurtzman Orci Paper Products, whose Bobby Cohen will exec produce along with Yakin.
Fisher recently voiced a role in “Rango” and is set to return to the sound booth to voice the Tooth Fairy in DreamWorks Animation’s “Rise of the Guardians.” She’s playing Myrtle Wilson, a married woman who has an affair with Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton) in “Great Gatsby.”
She’s repped by CAA and Mosaic, as well as Shanahan Management in Australia.

I’ve just come across this 12-minute long video of footage from the set of Bachelorette, filmed on the same day as the photos posted in our previous update were taken. Have a watch:
Things are quiet again in Isla-world this week – I expect she’s still filming Bachelorette in NYC, although sadly I haven’t seen any new photos!
So I just have a tiny, tiny update for you today – thanks to Angie I’ve been able to replace the first 7 photos from the 1999 Session #001 photoshoot with better quality versions. Isla looks so young and natural in this shoot!
I’m also slowly working on getting the content in the Isla section back up, but I’ll post more on that when more has been done in there 🙂

The 15th Annual Hollywood Film Festival and Hollywood Film Awards, presented by Starz Entertainment, have announced that “Rango” will receive this year’s Hollywood Animation Award at the festival’s gala ceremony on October 24, 2011, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
The Paramount Pictures/Nickelodeon Movies feature film is directed by Gore Verbinski and stars Johnny Depp, Isla Fisher, Abigail Breslin, Alfred Molina, Bill Nighy, Harry Dean Stanton, Ray Winstone and Timothy Olyphant as the Spirit of the West. The screenplay was written by Oscar®-nominated screenwriter John Logan with the story by John Logan, Gore Verbinski and James Ward Byrkit. Produced by Verbinski’s Blind Wink Productions, Graham King and John Carls, “Rango” also marks the first animated feature film for award-winning special effects house Industrial Light & Magic (ILM).
The announcement was made today by Carlos de Abreu, Founder and Executive Director of the Hollywood Film Festival. “It is a great pleasure to recognize “Rango” as the recipient of our animation award. This piece of cinematic treasure borders on surrealism and “Rango” will be a classic for generations to come.”
Past recipients of the Hollywood Animation Award include “Cars,” “Ratatouille,” “Toy Story 3,” “UP,” and “Wall-E.”

We are in luck, because yesterday I was able to find a great batch of photos of Isla and Kirsten Dunst on the set of Bachelorette, and in HQ, none-the-less! They are from September 1st, which is the same day the majority of ones I posted about in our previous update were from. There are some fantastic, clear shots from the shoot, and Isla looks gorgeous! I’m already excited for this movie … are you?
Also, I mentioned in our previous update that I was surprised to see Isla back in New York City filming another movie so soon after our first photos of her on the set of Gatsby in Australia – well PerthNow.com provides further information, saying she was just there for rehearsals and costume fittings, and will return to that set soon:
Fisher, 35, snuck into Sydney last month for costume fittings and rehearsals and is expected back at Fox Studios in coming weeks.
Sounds like Miss Fisher will be a busy bee in the coming months, and I’m sure it will be worth it!
Enjoy the HQ photos from the set of Bachelorette in our Gallery:

Well this has come as a surprise! A mere week after our first look at Isla on the set of The Great Gatsby in Australia, she is now hard at work on Bachelorette in New York City! She was snapped filming scenes on Wednesday and Thursday of this week in the Big Apple, looking absolutely gorgeous in a little black dress. The scene yesterday (shot outside the Scores Gentleman’s Club) was with the wonderful Kirsten Dunst, and was obviously a very drunken scene involving their two characters!
I am surprised – in a very, very good way – to see Isla filming another movie so soon after The Great Gatsby – for one, I thought she’d be filming Gatsby for longer (maybe she’ll go back? Maybe they shot a lot before we saw the photos?), and also because she hasn’t worked this much for ages! I’m sure you’ll all be as happy and excited as I am that we’re finally going to be seeing more of Isla on screen – I can’t wait!
(Very) unfortunately we are unable to add these first photos from the set of Bachelorette into our Gallery because of where they’re from, but I will of course be on the hunt for photos we can post. In the meantime, you can find the photos through the external links below:
