- Isla Fisher was so frustrated over the lack of decent comedic material for Hollywood actresses that she took to writing her own script.
- The Confessions of a Shopaholic star, who is married to funnyman Sacha Baron Cohen, felt the only way she could get a good role was to pen the in-development Groupies, which she will co-star in with Amy Poehler.
- When asked how her script is developing, Fisher said, "Oh you mean Groupies? After Wedding Crashers I was just surprised as to the lack of comedic female material there is.
- So I had to start working and getting stuff out there for
- myself.
- "Groupies is pretty close to being ready and I've got another movie called Life Coach which I have been working on. Hopefully one of them will go soon. It's more frustrating being in development than it is just to be cast in something. It's a lot of things involved," she added.
