Confessions Of A Shopaholic Cast Rounds OutBy Katey Rich: 2008-03-13 11:58:42
The more people who join the cast of Confessions of a Shopaholic, the more interesting the movie starts to look. It already stars Isla Fisher, who was lovely in Definitely, Maybe, hilarious in Wedding Crashers and had the good sense to marry Sacha Baron Cohen and have his funny, funny babies. And a while back they announced that Joan Cusack and John Goodman would be playing her parents. While that’s a total mismatch in terms of hotness, the two of them together are parents I’d definitely like to have.Now they’ve cast the people Fisher’s character will encounter in the working world, and it’s one exciting name after another. The Hollywood Reporter writes that John Lithgow, Kristin Scott Thomas, Leslie Bibb, Lynn Redgrave and Julie Hagerty are all on board. Lithgow, who is impossible to forget from Third Rock from the Sun and everything else he’s ever done, will play a “publishing magnate,” presumably the big guy in charge of the magazine where Fisher’s character works. Scott Thomas, regal and awesome, will be a magazine editor, maybe Miranda Priestly in Devil Wears Prada style. Redgrave, one of those grand dames who always gets overshadowed by either her sister Vanessa or Judi Dench, will be a “doyenne” of a magazine empire—maybe Lithgow’s wife? And Hagerty and Bibb round out the cast as magazine staffers. The producers on this thing seem to be getting some significant talent for this, which again makes me think of The Devil Wears Prada. After all, would anyone have taken that movie seriously if Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci hadn’t been involved? That might mean this is something more than a standard chick flick, despite being based on standard chick lit. For the sake of ever again seeing female-driven comedies, let’s hope that’s the case.
