Jennifer Saunders has finally finished the script for 'Absolutely Fabulous' film, 20 years after she stared working on it.

The 56-year-old comedienne is determined that the film, which is based on the 90's sitcom and has been titled 'Edina and Patsy,' will be made by the end of 2015, the Mirror reported.

The show's main characters played by Saunders and Joanna Lumley, 68 would be playing the title roles, and the actress said that she was feeling "euphoric" after finishing the first draft and it was her New Year's resolution to do the film, otherwise it would be a "pointless year of procrastination."

Saunders, who has beaten breast cancer, also joked that she would like to see Angelina Jolie, 39, replacing Lumley as Patsy and an orangutan playing her part.
