Shopaholic On Set Pics & Release Date News

I have updated the gallery with two sets of Shopaholic on set pics, taken in New York City in the past few days. Enjoy Isla’s quirky fashion in these cute shots!

Some exciting news:

Now that the writer’s strike has finally come to close, Disney has announced its feature releases through 2009 and early 2010. Disney has decided to make Isla Fisher-Hugh Dancy romantic comedy Confessions of a Shopaholic its 2009 Valentine’s Day release.

So unfortunately the film will not be release late this year unlike earlier reported but at least it should be pretty big same time next year.

Definitely, Maybe Playing in North America

I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine’s Day and that the fans are enjoying Definitely, Maybe, which opened in North America yesterday. :happy:

As earlier reported, Isla appeared on Live with Regis and Kelly yesterday. If anyone has a video of this, please send it in. Thank you so much in advance! I am not sure if Isla was on The Today Show on Monday after all. A friend taped it but apparently our girl was nowhere to be seen. So do let us know if you did catch Isla.

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.

More Interviews & Articles

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.”
