Filming Begins On Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie

Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley are back for ‘Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie’, which has started filming in the south of France.

A first picture of the duo in action has been released and as you’d expect Edina and Patsy are enjoying a drink.

The original cast from the sitcom, including Julia Sawalha as Saffy, Jane Horrocks as Bubble and June Whitfield as Mother will return for the film, but we’d also expect some A-list cameos.

Saunders wrote the script while Mandie Fletcher, who directed episodes of the TV show, will be helming.

“I am thrilled and excited to finally start filming. We are all on the Sanatogen and hoping for the best,” said Saunders.

The film is released in 2016 and the official plot synopsis is below:

“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!”
