The cast of ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS will be making their big screen debut in July 2016.
They’re back darlings…
Fox Searchlight Pictures has announced that Eddy and Patsy will be bringing glitz and glamour to cinemas everywhere next summer, when ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS: THE MOVIE is released across the UK & Ireland on July 1st, 2016.
The film will be the first cinematic adventure for the long running and much-loved comedy starring Jennifer Saunders, Joanna Lumley and the rest of the original cast recently wrapped principal photography after a 7 week shoot on location in the U.K and the South of France.
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 London’s 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.
ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS: THE MOVIE reunites Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley as the iconic Edina and Patsy along with the rest of the original cast that includes Julia Sawalha as Saffy, Jane Horrocks as Bubble and June Whitfield as Mother. The award-winning team behind the camera includes Mandie Fletcher (“Blackadder,” “Absolutely Fabulous”) directing from a script by Jennifer Saunders, producers Jon Plowman (“Absolutely Fabulous,” “The Vicar of Dibley”) and Damian Jones (THE IRON LADY, BELLE, DAD’S ARMY) with Steve Milne, Christian Eisenbeiss, Christine Langan, Nichola Martin, Jennifer Saunders, Dawn French, and Maureen Vincent serving as executive producers.
