Goodman and Cusack join Confessions crew

The Big Lebowski star John Goodman and Grosse Point Blank's Joan Cusack are to team up as the parents of Wedding Crashers actress Isla Fisher for a new comedy, according to reports in Hollywood.

Industry paper Variety says Goodman and Cusack, who also appeared in High Fidelity and School of Rock, have both signed up for Confessions of a Shopaholic, which is based on a novel by Sophie Kinsella.

The film charts a young woman's stresses as she juggles life in New York's magazine industry with overheating credit cards.

According to the paper, the big screen adaptation will also star Hugh Dancy of Shooting Dogs and Krysten Ritter, who is currently appearing in rom-com 27 Dresses.

My Best Friend's Wedding director PJ Hogan will take the helm for the movie, which will be filmed in New York and Connecticut.

Jerry Bruckheimer, the man behind blockbusters such as Pearl Harbour and Black Hawk Down, is overseeing the production.
