The book recounts Barker's (Tina Fey) years as a journalist in Afghanistan and Pakistan after arriving in the region in 2002. During her time there she filed stories about militants, being a woman in wartime Iraq and Pakistan, dealing with boredom interspersed with dashes of violence and the promiscuous war-correspondent culture.
"The Wolf Of Wall Street" and "Tarzan" star Margot Robbie is set as a blonde, competitive on-air news anchor that becomes friends with Baker, yet turns out to be ruthless in finding a story that will make her career.
Martin Freeman will play Fey's unexpected love interest, a dedicated Scottish photojournalist. "Game of Thrones" star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau Nicholas Braun ("The Perks Of Being A Wallflower") Aussie soap Home and Away hunk Stephen Peacocke Sheila Vand, Evan Jonigkeit and Christopher Abbott are here too.
Robert Carlock penned the adapted screenplay from which "Crazy, Stupid, Love" writer/directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa will call action on "Shuffle"
Fey and Lorne Michaels will produce the pic.
Production has officially begun in New Mexico.
