Last Sunday's Herald Sun had an article on the movie and a BW pic of IF. They're currently "on location in Northcote" (God help us!) and are said to be "almost two thirds of the way through the 40-day shoot". Nick Giannopoulos is director, co-writer and lead actor (God help us!, again). He's one of many people in this country who has somehow made a living for many years as a comedian without, as far as I'm aware, ever having made anyone laugh.

Why is Isla Fisher in this movie? Has her career sunk to such depths? (I really hate Australian movies).

Well, the Raven, the Bird of Death in folklore, has certainly cast his shadow over this enterprise!
A propos why she should want to appear in this movie, it sure beats waitressing, which would appear to be the main occupation of those who aspire to be entertainers and, credit where it's due, she seems to have been in work pretty consistently since leaving H&A 5 odd years ago. Even Sir Laurence Olivier appeared in some shockers to pay the bills. I've never heard of Nick the Greek but your praise is not fulsome!
Did the article give any idea of what the film is about or its release date??

Nick G. plays the role of "Danny, the world's worst actor" (definitely art imitating life) ... "who becomes entangled with the world's worst crook". Nothing is said of Isla's role in this impending disaster, but if they've got any sense they'll put her in a bikini so that the movie wont be a complete write-off. Nothing on the release date, but I'm predicting it'll go directly to the $1 a week shelf at the video library. At least we can play cricket.
