So I am reading the
SHOPAHOLIC series. I am loving it, but I am not excited about the movie coming out in 02/2009. Here's what I find VERY wrong from the trailer...
- The movie is set in New York... Wha? It's supposed to be in London!
- Rebecca Bloomwood is NOT a recent college grad, as depicted in the film.
- Isla Fisher as Rebecca? WTH?
- Some dorky guy as Luke? Luke is supposed to be tall, dark, and handsome...
- The trailer has Rebecca trying on bridemaid's dresses... presumably for her roommate Suze's wedding. In the book Suze is VERY single...
And now MY picks for the characters:

Billie Piper as Rebecca Bloomwood. She's from Dr. Who and Secret Diary of a Call Girl. She's huge in England.

Jude Law as Luke.. 'nuff said.


Emily Blunt as best friend/flatmate Suze. She would be perfect!

Steve Valentine as Tarquin, who's heart is broken by Rebecca. Creepy, mysterious, pasty, flawless as Tarquin...
And finally:

Simon Pegg as Derek Smeath, the banker with a heart. SHAAAUUUUN!!!
Notice that they are all British actors... that wasn't an accident...
