Jennifer Saunders has been talking about it for years, but now it’s actually happening, as she and Joanna Lumley are on set to make Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie. As well the main stars, other returnees include Julia Sawalha as Saffy, Jane Horrocks as Bubble and June Whitfield as Mother.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘Appropriate for their big screen debut, Edina and Patsy are still oozing glitz and glamour, living the high life they are accustomed to; shopping, drinking and clubbing their way around Londons trendiest hotspots. Blamed for a major incident at an uber fashionable launch party, they become entangled in a media storm and are relentlessly pursued by the paparazzi. Fleeing penniless to the glamorous playground of the super-rich, the French Riviera, they hatch a plan to make their escape permanent and live the high life forevermore! In true Ab Fab style, the cast will be joined by a host of A-list stars from the acting, music and fashion worlds.’
“I am thrilled and excited to finally start filming. We are all on the Sanatogen and hoping for the best, said Saunders.
The movie is out in 2016, as they recently launched a search to find a hundred drag queens, it’ll be as camp as ever.
