“Absolutely Fabulous– The Movie” Is Coming Whether You Like it or Not

Share

If you live long enough, it will all happen.

And such is the case for “Ab Fab” or “Absolutely Fabulous,” the hit British TV show that became a cult favorite in the US some 20 years ago. They’re making the movie! Fox Searchlight will release it, too. Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders are back, in a script by Saunders. All the original cast members are back, too, including Jane Horrocks, who had her own fame in the movie “Little Voice” many moons ago.

The movie will shoot in Britain and the South of France as Edina and Patsy have many madcap adventures as two mumbling, charming drunks who are suddenly pursued by paparazzi.  Good fun!
