Isla Fisher is joining Rango as the female lead.

According to Variety, Fisher (Confessions of a Shopaholic) will join Johnny Depp (Pirates of the Caribbean) and Abigail Breslin (Quantum Quest) in the voice cast of the Paramount animated film. Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean) is directing the flick from a script by John Logan (The Aviator).
