The last time we spoke to Isla Fisher it was in her native Australia for the romantic comedy ”Wedding Crashers”. In the four years since then Fisher, who cut her teeth playing Shannon on local TV soap “Home & Away†(which, she says, she doesn’t miss at all – ouch! sorry Alf!), has turned into quite the mega-star. She’s about to be seen in “Confessions of a Shopaholicâ€, in which he has the lead role, and then will join Johnny Depp in a recording studio (or will she?) for Gore Verbinski’s “Rango”.
Moviehole caught up with Fisher in New York City. It’s there that she filled us in on the animated Verbinski (“Pirates of the Caribbean”) directed project.
”I’m playing ‘Lizard’”, Fisher says. ”But I’m from the south, so I talk like this (in a South Western American accent). I make a really tough little lizard.”
Fisher says she’ll be working directly with co-star Johnny Depp.
”Usually when you work on an animated movie, it’s really sterile, you know, you’re in a booth on your own, just with the director. But the way he’s shooting this movie is that he’s shooting it like a real movie. So we’re all on stage, Bill Nighy is in it, Abigail Breslin, and we’re all acting on stage and he’s shooting it. So then you go in to the sound booth and record your voice, so you have the memory of the emotions in the scene in your voice, rather than just having to conjure them up out of thin air.”
