Margot Robbie is fielding plenty of offers at the moment. With a potential role in the Warner Bros. **Suicide Squad film quickly coming together with David Ayer in charge, the **Wolf Of Wall Street **actress is also now considering a part in** The Taliban Shuffle**, which already has Tina Fey attached{
The story has been adapted from Kim Barker’s wartime memoir, subtitled 'Strange Days In Afghanistan And Pakistan'. It charts her time as a journalist in Kabul in 2002, where with no foreign languages among her skillset and precious little idea how to get between Pakistan and Afghanistan, she was thrown in at the deep end. Slowly but surely, she grew to love the region, even as she became increasingly worried about its future.
Fey is playing Barker, and if she makes a deal, Robbie will be set as a blonde, competitive on-air news anchor that becomes friends with her, yet turns out to be ruthless in finding a story that will make her career. In her favour on this one is the fact that John Requa and Glenn Ficarra are on board to direct, having just worked with Robbie on Will Smith conman drama Focus. But she has to juggle schedules as Suicide Squad, assuming she scores the job, would shoot in early 2015 and she also needs to be available to promote Focus.
That one is due here on February 27, 2015, and Robbie will also be seen in David Yates’s take on Tarzan, arriving in 2016.
