Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who bought us TV hits Fleabag and Killing Eve, says she’s working on a new feature film that she intends to direct and - most likely - act in.
The writer-actor-director revealed that she’s been working on the new project ever since her acclaimed television show Fleabag ended.
'I went to bed thinking, "I’m never going to have another idea again. Oh shit." I woke up with the vision of this film,' she explained to the Hollywood Reporter.

'I blatantly will end up in it,' she added.
Waller-Bridge is yet to reveal any further details and said that she wouldn’t sell the project until it was finished, saying she’s seeking theatrical release rather than via a streaming service.
The news of her new project follows the announcement that she was personally requested by Daniel Craig to co-write the new Bond film. She has previously said that James Bond has always intrigued her, the same way Villanelle did in her spy drama Killing Eve.
'They live a fantasy! But it’s a life none of us would ever want, if we’re honest. We don’t want to go put a bullet in someone’s head to sleep with people and have martinis. It’s a kind of fantasy nightmare,' she said, reports the Guardian.
Fleabag has been nominated for 11 Emmy awards for its second series, with Waller-Bridge nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in Comedy, despite the first season being overlooked last year.
The first season of Killing Eve also received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Writing in a Drama series.
