Hot off the Press - Confessions of a Shopaholic

The wait is almost over! Confessions of a Shopaholic will hit theatres in February 2009. The movie will be based on two books from the very popular shopaholic series written by Sophie Kinsella, Confessions of a Shopaholic and Shopaholic Abroad (alternatively titled Shopaholic Takes Manhattan). Watching the trailer, it's weird to take in the american setting of the movie. Rebecca Bloomwood is a long way from her original stomping ground of Fulham, and since the character is loved by so many, I wonder how the americanisation of her will go down with the fans. Then again, what else could be expected from a Hollywood film. Well, at least gorgeous clothes galore will be guaranteed!


P.S. Props for the fact that for the first time ever, a joke involving a Finnish character (happens more often that you would think!), has an actual Finn speaking Finnish and not gobbledegook. :D
