Shopaholic Goes to Cinema - trailer included
The book that sold...and sold
After the success of chick lit turned chick flick ‘The Devil Wears Prada’, out comes girly girl’s favourite ‘Shopaholic’ series brought to the big screen in ‘Confessions of a Shopaholic’ (might this be a first of a new franchise?).
Set for release in 2009, it’s already getting talk. And why shouldn’t it? The book by Sophie Kinsella did well and garnered a short series not to mention adoring fans. Having read the book, I can see how film producers would be attracted to it. Yes – it appeals to its exact audience – females. Light-hearted, a dash of humour and a little romance thrown in – really, women aren’t that hard to please.
Never expected Shopaholic to be caught in the streets in this dress....
The heroin, Rebecca Bloomwood is played by Isla Fisher (I’m surprise they didn’t rope in Anne Hathaway) while Hugh Dancy plays Luke Brandon. Obviously, this film didn’t feel a need for big names to open the film – relying only on the fame of Sophie Kinsella and her legion of fans. How this will pan out is one I’m keen to watch.
In which case, here's a sneak peek of whats to come from the trailer of the film itself.
