Q&a: Patsy, Eddie And Friend Kate Moss Hit The Big Screen

Patsy, Eddie and friend Kate Moss hit the big screen LONDON (AP) — Champagne socialites Eddie and Patsy are back onscreen in a movie spin-off of the hugely popular BBC television series "Absolutely Fabulous." The film comes 24 years after the self-absorbed duo, played by Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley, first hit TV screens in 1992. The pair sat down to talk about the transformation to the big screen, convincing supermodel Kate Moss to film in the Thames and the possibility of more movies. The interview has been edited for clarity and brevity: Associated Press: Was the series always going to be a film? Was that always in the back of your minds that you'd put it onto the big screen? Otherwise I just look stupid. Wrote the whole thing, sold it to Fox and the BBC and they said, "So Kate's up for it?" I went, (snaps fingers) "Got to ask Kate." If this was a modeling shoot they'd just leave me here and tell me to stop shivering. What was the atmosphere like on set, was there any actual partying? There was a lunch and then we got a picture of it, all sitting outside the pub, and it was you, Kate, Gwendoline Christie, Jon Hamm, Janette Tough. Just hanging out at the Prospect of Whitby with the gang. [...] do you think this movie is paving the way for any more? Can you see a sequel or more films coming out? In a year's time people will be going, Where's the sequel, Jennifer?
