Jennifer Saunders Writing Ab Fab Movie

By Ross Bonaime

Since 1992, Jennifer Saunders has starred on the hit British comedy Absolutely Fabulous, but now Saunders plans on bringing her alcohol and drug-fueled character to the movies.

 

The film will appropriately be titled Ab Fab: The Movie and Saunders has said of the project, “We’d have so much fun, and I’ve thought of a really nice idea. We thought it would be hilarious if Edina and Patsy went to a party on an oligarch’s yacht, got drunk, fell asleep and woke up in the middle of the ocean…Everyone else has left, and the ship has been moved on.”

Absolutely Fabulous has had five seasons, the first three of which ran between 1992 and 1995, with the show returning between 2001 and 2003. The show has come back for several specials. This Christmas, three new half-hour specials will air on BBC and BBC America.
