Isla Fisher & Jillian Bell Start Filming Disney+ Movie 'Godmothered' - See Set Photos!

Isla Fisher and Jillian Bell have kicked off filming for their upcoming Disney+ comedy movie Godmothered!

The actresses were spotted filming the upcoming family film on Monday afternoon (January 20) in Boston, Mass.

THR reports that the movie will follow “a young and unskilled fairy godmother (Bell) that ventures out on her own to prove her worth by tracking down a young girl whose request for help was ignored. What she discovers is that the girl has now become a grown woman (Fisher) in need of something very different than a ‘Prince Charming.’”

Sharon McGuire, who directed the Bridget Jones movies, is directing the film.

“I was leaving a bar, and I had participated in activities that go along with going to a bar…I was a little too drunk,” Jillian jokingly shared. “And I was walking to a theater to see a show, and my sister was with me, and she goes, ‘I think that’s Elijah Wood driving by.’”

Jillian continued: “And I go, ‘I don’t know about that,’ and went, ‘Hey Elijah’ [with an attitude].”

“And his window was cracked [open] and he pulled over and waved..and he was so sweet,” Jillian said while admitting she gave him a total attitude.

Lilly then gave Jillian the opportunity for her to apologize to Elijah for the way she acted.

“Elijah, if you’re watching this right now, I want to say sincerely from the bottom of my heart, that I’m sorry. Really sorry,” Jillian said to the cameras.

Jillian Bell Gets Support from Tobey Maguire at 'Brittany Runs a Marathon' Premiere!

Jillian Bell happily strikes a pose with Tobey Maguire while attending premiere of her Amazon Studios’ film Brittany Runs A Marathon held at Regal LA Liveon on Thursday (August 15) in Los Angeles.

The 35-year-old actress and Tobey, 44, who is an executive producer of the film, were joined at the event by co-stars Lil Rel Howery, Michaela Watkins, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Alice Lee, Micah Stock and Nadia Quinn, as well as Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke, writer-director Paul Downs Colaizzo and real-life inspiration of the film, Brittany O’Neill.

Also in attendance to show their support were Abby‘s Natalie Morales, Cheyenne Jackson and husband Jason Landau, Rachael Leigh Cook, GLOW‘s Shakira Barrera, comedian Fortune Feimster, Pitch Perfect‘s Chrissie Fit, The Kominsky Method‘s Lisa Edelstein, Broad City’s Paul W. Downs, Insatiable‘s Arden Myrin and Camp Camp‘s Dante Basco.

Synopsis: Hilarious, outgoing and always up for a good time, New Yorker Brittany Forgler (Jillian) is everybody’s best friend ― except maybe her own. At 27, her hard-partying ways, chronic underemployment and toxic relationships are catching up with her, but when she stops by a new doctor’s office to try to score some Adderall, she gets slapped with a prescription she never wanted: Get healthy. Too broke for a gym and too proud to ask for help, Brit is at a loss, until her seemingly together neighbor Catherine pushes her to lace up her Converse sneakers and run one sweaty block. The next day, she runs two. And soon, after finishing her first mile, she sets an almost unthinkable goal: running in the New York City Marathon.

Amazon Studios is set to release Brittany Runs a Marathon in theaters on August 23 – Watch the trailer here!

Jillian Bell Ran Off 40 Pounds for 'Brittany Runs a Marathon'!

Jillian Bell made an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Wednesday (August 14), and revealed that she committed to running off 40 pounds of weight while shooting her film, Brittany Runs a Marathon.

“Very dramatic, but it’s a comedy as well. I did a lot of running. I was running a lot and I actually started training on my own,” the 35-year-old actress told Stephen. “I decided I wanted to do the physical journey of the character. I committed on my own to loosing 40 pounds because that’s what the character goes through in the film.”

“I decided to do it like maybe Daniel Day Lewis would do it, I looked it up on Pinterest and I found out that you can do a thing called from couch to 5k,” Jillian continued. “The first step is get up and move a little bit.”

Award-winning playwright Paul Downs Colaizzo makes his directorial debut with Brittany Runs a Marathon, an uproarious, irreverent and surprisingly emotional comedy inspired by real events.
