Isla Fisher Brings 'Confessions of a Shopaholic' To The Silver Screen

The tagline for Stylish.ca reads 'barely conforming to the size of your credit limit' and perhaps no other tale personifies this more than that of Rebecca Bloomwood and her shopping escapades made famous in the novel 'Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic' or in the United States, was re-titled 'Confessions of a Shopaholic'.

On February 13, 2009 the movie adaptation of this hit book will be released in theatres, and this will give all of us who didn't read the book an opportunity to follow Rebecca to Manhattan and watch her stumble into the magazine world and get neck-deep in credit card debt. Sounds like fun, eh?

If you haven't seen the trailer for the movie, check it out:

The movie was filmed in three locations - New York, Connecticut, and Florida. But what is particularly interesting, is that shooting was ongoing as of December 4th and 8th in New York (this is really late for a movie due to release in a couple of months). Why were they still shooting scenes at this late date, you ask? Rumor has it that the ending of the movie was re-shot and changed to reflect the current financial times we are in and to give the film an ending that was a bit more 'sensitive' to this reality. Probably a good move.

Another interesting tidbit to mention about this movie is that of wardrobe designer / 'volume fashion' expert Patricia Field. You may recognize her name from another hit movie recently. She did the wardrobe for the Sex and the City Movie and was also given the fun task of outfitting Isla Fisher and the other cast members of Confessions of Shopaholic. There should be no shortage of stylish threads in this one!
