P.J. Hogan (Peter Pan, My Best Friend’s Wedding) will direct Confessions of a Shopaholic, an adaptation of the bestselling novel by Sophie Kinsella. Jerry Bruckheimer will produce.
In the book, Rebecca Bloomwood just hit rock bottom. But she’s never looked better. Bloomwood has a fabulous flat in London’s trendiest neighborhood, a troupe of glamorous socialite friends, and a closet brimming with the season’s must-haves. The only trouble is that she can’t actually afford itnot any of it.
Her job writing at Successful Savings not only bores her to tears, it doesn’t pay much at all. And lately Becky’s been chased by dismal letters from Visa and the Endwich Bankletters with large red sums she can’t bear to readand they’re getting ever harder to ignore.
She tries cutting back; she even tries making more money. But none of her efforts succeeds. Becky’s only consolation is to buy herself something… just a little something…
Finally a story arises that Becky actually cares about, and her front-page article catalyzes a chain of events that will transform her lifeand the lives of those around herforever.
Shooting begins this November in New York City.
