ComingSoon.net & USA Today Articles

Check out these two new features on Miss Fisher, from ComingSoon.net and USA Today:

Isla Fisher on Definitely, Maybe
‘Maybe’ star Isla Fisher is a new mom, but definitely don’t ask!

Both are great reads, especially USA Today. Isla talks about Hollywood’s body fascism, her love for Juno and privacy. It seems that every single article pays special emphasis on Isla’s decision not to talk about Olive and sort of portrays her like she was being rude about it. I, for one, definitely respect her decision to not discuss her baby and private life in the press.

“I’m choosy, definitely,” Fisher says. “I’ve made a lot of product in my life that I’m not proud of. I’ve had to work. Now that I’m fortunate enough to get to choose, I’m fussy. Now, I don’t have to make decisions as much from fear. It’s given me freedom.”

Last but not least, check out this stunning image from the USA Today article on your left.

The press archives have been updated with two new Definitely, Maybe related articles:

Isla Fisher has the last laugh
Fisher making a name for herself

Speaking of Definitely, Maybe, I had the chance to see it today and it was absolutely charming. Even though I am generally not a big fan of romantic comedies, I really enjoyed this one. It had a lot of heart, delived the laughs and the cast was just wonderful. I may be biased but I especially adored Isla Fisher as April Hoffman. The character was multilayered and Isla made her feel very real. Plus, she had the best lines and her chemistry with Ryan Reynolds was great. This is one of Isla’s best performances – certainly one for all fans to see. :happy:

Isla Fisher on Jews and Junior

The Daily Telegraph published a very nice and informative article about Isla today. I think it will appear in tomorrow’s edition of the magazine – so Aussies, keep your eyes peeled for Isla! 😉 Check out full article here.

She has already sold two comedy scripts to major Hollywood studios, has voiced one of the characters for the forthcoming Dr Seuss movie, Horton Hears A Who!, and is due to start filming Confessions Of A Shopaholic (based on Sophie Kinsella’s bestseller), as the lead character, Rebecca Bloomwood.

“Although I’ll be focusing on colouring in books for the next few weeks!

“I don’t want to put the pressure on myself to have to race back to something.”

So, did Fisher ever dream she’d get this far?

“Oh, I always thought I’d be living in Hollywood, in a seven-bedroom house with a massive swimming pool,” she grins.

“It’s just that when I imagined it, I always thought I’d be the maid.”

Ryan Reynolds and Isla Fisher Talk Definitely, Maybe

About.com has published a new Definitely, Maybe related interview with Isla and Ryan Reynolds. Click here to view full article.

Fisher found a lot she could relate to in the character of April. “I related to my character in that she was kind of a nomad who didn’t have a strong sense of her own identity. I felt like that when I was in my early 20s. She’s someone who is also afraid of love, and I definitely was like that when I was younger. But other than that, I thought it was a real departure for me to play this apolitical girl.”

Shopaholic Filming in Connecticut

First of all, thank you all for the lovely comments regarding the site. We really appreciate it and are glad you’re enjoying the site. :happy:

According to one member at the Confessions of a Shopaholic IMDb board, the movie has begun filming and the cast, including Isla Fisher, will shoot today morning at the Sheraton Stanford, Connecticut. It could be just gossip at the moment but perhaps we’ll get a more official confirmation sometime soon. Here’s to hoping some on set pics will pop up!

Edit: Isla has indeed been spotted on the set of Confessions of a Shopaholic holding baby Olive. We are currently trying to get out hands on the full set. Meanwhile, enjoy the preview of the cuteness! :love: Another IMDb member posted the following:

They were filming near my house yesterday near Dollar Dreams on top of the Rent A Center building. From morning till night. And now they are filming on Hancock at the Nest Arts Factory.
