In 2011, prior to the release of the new episodes for 2011/2012,
Jennifer Saunders announced that she would begin working on a script for
a film of "Absolutely Fabulous" in 2012. The film will reportedly be
made by BBC films and will begin with Edina and Patsy waking up on an
oligarch's deserted yacht, drifting in the ocean. Saunders has since revealed that the film will be set on the French Riviera. Saunders has subsequently revealed more of the film's plotline:
"Eddy and Patsy are looking for what they imagine glamorous life should be. They're constantly searching for that perfect place to sit or that perfect pair of sunglasses. It's Shangri-La and it just might be round the next corner. In the meantime, they decide to take Saffy's (Julia Sawalha) daughter off her - she calls her Jane, I call her Lola - but then they lose her."Saunders also stated that now that she had announced plans for a feature, there was no going back. She would do it for no other reason than to have her alter-ego and Patsy walk down the red carpet at the film's premiere.
