Isla Fisher starred alongside many comedy legends in the past, but she’s taking things to a new level in Greed. The star of Wedding Crashers just joined this promising project, which features a couple of equally hilarious cast members.
Greed was described as a satirical take on the world of the super-rich, focusing on a ruthless, perma-tanned and self-absorbed retail clothing billionaire. Steve Coogan will play this immoral businessman, who’s hired a mild-mannered journalist to chronicle his life story.
Greed also stars David Mitchell (Peep Show) and Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat). Isla Fisher will join them in the role of billionaire’s wife. She’s the only person who truly understands him and all his complexities. Fisher’s recent credits include cult sitcom Arrested Development and buddy comedy Tag.
This British comedy will start shooting later this year in Europe. BAFTA winner and Coogan’s frequent collaborator Michael Winterbottom will serve as the director. They met on the set of 2002 comedy 24 Hour Party People and later teamed up for the movie series The Trip.
