Isla Fisher to head up female Hangover
Chick flicks get boozy
Isla Fisher is attached to star in new comedy Desperados , which is being described as a female answer to The Hangover .
24 Frames report that Betty Thomas - who recently directed, uh, Alvin And The Chipmunks: The Squeakuel - is being offered the director’s chair.
Desperados follows three women who take a trip to Las Vegas, where they attempt to sort out the relationship between one of the women and the man she regrets dumping.
No doubt a trip to see the Chippendales and a boozy cocktail session risk derailing the entire operation.
With Fisher already lined up to lead the cast, the two other lead female roles are still in need of casting. You can bet Kristen Wiig’s name is on a list somewhere.
Desperados was written by Ellen Rapoport and previously landed on the Black List of Hollywood’s best unproduced screenplays.
