Director Michael Morris clarified that Isla Fisher’s limited appearance in the film was intentional and not due to any deleted scenes. He emphasized that Fisher’s role was designed as a fun, glamorous cameo, echoing the contributions of other actors like Emma Thompson and Jim Broadbent, who also had minimal scenes. The director acknowledged that while Isla's character is more prominent in the source novel, the film sought to maintain respect for the character's essence, focusing on the adapted screenplay's priorities rather than including every storyline from the book.
Never! No! The Confessions Of A Shopaholic actor did us a massive favour by basically doing like a sort of elevated cameo for fun.
We just wanted to sort of respect the idea of the character. The novel has huge amounts of strands that never made it to screen.
