Sex And The City
The Movie
For the Manolo minions and the Fendi followers this news is downright orgasmic.. What other possible explosion could stir up as much interest as the return of the much loved New York quaurtet.. Sex and the City is now officially coming back.
After three years of much anticipated talks that Carrie Bradshaw, Miranda Hobbes, Charlotte York and Samantha Jones would rendezvous for one more round of cosmos, it has finally been confirmed that the girls are back to get the big-screen sendoff that fans all over the globe have been waiting for.
The Sex and the City movie has been rumored since 2004, when in her flurry of exit
interviews, SJP settled fan fears with none-too-subtle hints that the HBO show's series finale wouldn't mean the last of the fab foursome.
But as anticipation grew for the upcoming flick, so too apparently did Kim Cattrall's demands. In 2005, when the other three actresses were all locked in to the project, Cattrall reportedly held out for a payday on par with Parker's, whose salary was greater than her costars due to her added role as executive producer.
After more tabloid-ready reports of fighting between the women surfaced, along with rumors that Cattrall was also seeking script approval, the project stalled and plans for the film seemed irreparable.
Earlier this year, however, both Parker and Cattrall gave new hope to Sex addicts.
While out promoting her new clothing line, Bitten, Parker fielded the inevitable questions about a big-screen reunion.
"Never say never," she said. "It was such a great show, it would be fantastic to go back."
The Emmy winner also added that a supposed rift between costars held back the Sex and the City movie. "It is a very complicated puzzle to put back," she said, "but not for the reason that people speculate about, because as far as I know, all of the actresses want to be together again for this movie."
Cattrall added that she had not ruled out reprising her man-devouring role.
"With regard to a movie, I really can't say," she said. "There is a lot of speculation but, just put it this way, I don't want to jinx anything."
When the show ended its HBO run in 2004, each of the women wound up paired off with her beau: Carrie with Mr. Big, Miranda with Steve, Charlotte with Harry and Samantha with Smith. While no deals have been inked to bring the menfolk back, negotiations for supporting players are expected to begin closer to the production date, with Chris Noth expected to reprise his Big role.
Details of the script are being kept under tight wraps (Well at least until we let you in on all the Gossip on site), although it's unlikely the film will pick up immediately where the series left off, if for no other reason than the slight aging of the actresses.
Longtime executive producer Michael Patrick King has already written the film and will also serve as director. King will also produce the pic alongside Parker, series producer John Melfi and series creator Darren Star.
