Isla Fisher Coaches 2 For Universal

I thought Confessions Of A Shopaholic was going to make Isla Fisher the next rom-com queen, to accompany Kate Hudson and Meg Ryan who’ve mastered the genre for years. But box office domestic earning of only $44 Million says that audiences still think Fisher’s lover Sacha Baron Cohen is still the funnier one.
But that doesn’t keep Universal from banking on her potential. According to Variety, Fisher has signed on to star in 2 projects. One of them is LIFE COACH which Fisher will also produce with Will Ferrell’s Gary Sanchez, it’s a comedy about a young woman who consults a life coach who turns out to be messed up. The script is being written by Liz Cackowski and Maggie Carey
The next one is another romantic comedy, currently untitled, but based based on a French script called Un Jour mes princes viendront (ONE DAY MY PRINCE WILL COME).
Audrey Wells (Under the Tuscan Sun) will write the script. The plot is kept under wraps.
