Phoebe Waller-Bridge's talent seems to know no bounds. The award-winning writer gave us all a crush on a priest with TV show Fleabag, kept us on the edge of our seats with spy-action Killing Eve and has since been asked to co-write the new James Bond movie by Daniel Craig himself. But if that wasn't enough to keep us entertained, the multi-talented creator has now revealed she's working on a feature film set to be written, directed and probably acted by her.
Fleabag received 11 Emmy nominations for its second series, while Killing Eve also received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Writing in a Drama series, so we have high hopes for the film.
Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, she admitted that despite her wildly successful work, she started getting fearful that she wouldn't be able to reach the same standards again. Fortunately her next idea simply came to her.
"I went to bed thinking, 'I’m never going to have another idea again. Oh s**t'," she said. "I woke up with the vision of this film."
"I blatantly will end up in it," she added.
Waller-Bridge's new project is yet to be bought by a distributor or production company, but she admits the most important thing is creative freedom and claims she won't sell it until it's 100 per cent complete.
"I'm just trying to sniff out where the freedom is," she explained. "Freedom and that feeling of not having any grown-ups to answer to."
She's ruled out selling it to streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime, instead setting her sights on theatrical release.
We. Can't. Wait.

1 of 9‘Shaken, not stirred,’ might have been Bond’s signature martini - well, not anymore. We think the iconic catchphrase would be one of the first things to go under Waller-Bridge’s reign. As thanks to The Hot Priest, that the coolest drink is now an M&S Gin in a can. (Apparently, following series two, sales of the drink went up 24%. Wild.)

9 of 9The sex scenes could also be a lot more realistic, and less glamourous. Why would the Bond girl have sex with Bond, when she could simply masturbate next to him instead?
The sex scenes could also be a lot more realistic (aka less glamourous.) Instead of the Bond girl instantly falling into Bond's arms after a few glib chat up lines from Daniel Craig, he walks in on her masturbating to YouTube videos of Barack Obama instead. Just a thought...
