Jennifer Saunders writing ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS movie

Movie by

BBC's hit comedy series Absolutely Fabulous is coming to the big screen. Deadline reports that creator and co-star Jennifer Saunders plans to write a movie version of the show. Saunders plans to write the film next year after she wraps production on the Spice Girls London stage musical Viva Forever

Absolutely Fabulous, which aired on BBC America, "follows the lives of two best friends –  Edina, an international PR guru by trade but a 1960s teenager at heart, and Patsy, a sex-crazed magazine editor. Ab Fab: The Movie will kick off with Patsy and Edina waking up hungover in the empty drifting yacht of an oligarch in the middle of the ocean. Even worse, their cellphones can’t get a signal."

BBC America recently co-produced three new Absolutely Fabulous TV specials, the first is scheduled to air in the UK at Christmas. The show aired from 1992 to 1995 and was a hit. Creator Saunders then revived the show in 2001 and it ran for another three series until 2003.
