Isla Fisher has revealed that she penned her own comedy script after becoming frustrated with the lack of roles for funny females.

The Burke & Hare star recalled how she was inspired to write Groupies - which is currently in development with a tentative 2013 release date - in order to add diversity to a traditionally male-dominated genre.

Fisher told Contactmusic: "After Wedding Crashers I was just surprised as to the lack of comedic female material there is. So I had to start working and getting stuff out there for myself.

"Groupies is pretty close to being ready and I've got another movie called Life Coach which I've been working on. Hopefully one of them will go soon. It's more frustrating being in development than it is just to be cast in something. It's a lot of things involved."

Fisher's most recent project - CGI adventure Rango - was released in the UK and US on Friday.
