Margot Robbie is reportedly in talks to join Tina Fey in Paramount's adaptation of the Kim Barker's wartime memoir 'Taliban Shuffle'.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Robbie will play the role an elegant blond, on-air news anchor who befriends Baker (Fey) in Afghanistan.
The book revolved around Barker's arrival as a fish out of water in Kabul, filing stories about militants, being a woman in wartime Iraq and Pakistan and dealing with boredom interspersed with dashes of violence and the promiscuous war-correspondent culture.
Fey will be producing the political black comedy with her former Saturday Night Live boss and 30 Rock cohort Lorne Michaels.
