Kim Cattrall Unsure About Sex and the City 3
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Weinstein Company, Romance, Sequels, Comedy, Celebrity Gossip, Rumors
Sex and the City star Kim Cattrall is unsure if the series has a future.
While the 54-year-old actress - who played man-eating PR executive Samantha Jones in six TV seasons and two movies of the romantic comedy alongside Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis - would "love" to return for a third film, she is unsure if there is a possibility it could continue any further.
"I don't know if it will happen. I really, really have no idea. I love playing Samantha Jones. I would love playing Samantha Jones again, but I don't know if I will."
Although she would jump at the chance to step into Samantha's shoes again, Kim recently revealed she wants people to remember that she had a career before the character of Samantha: "I loved working on Sex and The City. It's a dream job and a great character to play. But before Sex and The City I was a working actress and hopefully I will be until I can't talk or move."

Chris Noth: Sex and the City Movies are Over
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: New Line, Warner Bros, Romance, Sequels, Comedy, Rumors
Given Sex and the City 2’s dismal opening weekend and horrible reviews, this announcement should come as no surprise: there will be no more sequels. At least, not according to Chris Noth.
“It’s over. The franchise is dead. The press killed it. Your magazine f**king killed it,” the
actor declared recently to New York Magazine.
“It’s like all the critics got together and said, ‘This franchise must die.’ Because they all had the exact same review. It’s like they didn’t see the movie,” Noth, who played Mr. Big in the series, added.
So what do you think of Noth’s comments? Are you glad SATC is finally being put to rest—or are you holding out hope for another round?

The Hobbit: Guillermo Del Toro’s exit from The Hobbit doesn’t necessarily mean an end for the prequels. Lord of the Rings’ Peter Jackson is now in talks to serve as both producer and director. It’s still hoped the two films can be released in 2012 and 2013.

Box Office Breakdown: A-Team’s Face Kicked by Karate Kid’s Foot

The battle of the ‘80s remakes was won by an actor born in 1998.
Despite featuring no actual karate and a Smith named Jaden, The Karate Kid had no problem kicking up Will Smith-esque dollars this weekend. (I’m sure it had something to do with that Justin Bieber song.). Sony’s remake of the 1984 classic surpassed early projections by rallying to a $55.7 million finish. The film’s debut means the 11-year-old star has already managed to outperform most of his father’s films. (I Am Legend opened to $77.2 million in 2007; Hancock premiered to $62.6 million in 2008.)
Meanwhile, Fox’s reboot of The A-Team cranked out what could be considered a B-grade performance. The movie, which cost over $95 million to make (compared to Karate‘s $40 million), only rang up $25.7 million in its first three days. That’s barely above the figure Liam Neeson’s Taken earned in 2009 ($24.7 million) and nowhere near the debut Bradley Cooper and Jessica Biel had with Valentine’s Day ($56.2 million).

Box Office Breakdown: Audiences Get to the Greek…and Shrek
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: 20th Century Fox, DreamWorks, Disney, Lionsgate, New Line, Paramount, Universal, Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Animation, Drama, Family, Horror, Remakes, Romance, Science Fiction, Sequels, Comedy, Box Office, Lists
Ashton Kutcher may have more Twitter followers than Diddy and Russell Brand combined - but that achievement wasn’t reflected at the box office this weekend.
Despite pirating the first 13 minutes of Killers, Kutcher was unable to generate enough interest to earn more than third place. The film - Katherine Heigl’s first since leaving Grey’s Anatomy - only rounded up a mere $15.8 million. (In other words, Ashton got about $3 from each of his Tweeps.)

Box Office Breakdown: Theatergoers Choose Shrek Over Sex

Shrek - not cosmopolitans - was what fans were buying this weekend.
Despite competition from two heavily-promoted features, an aging green ogre was able to hang on to his title for two weeks in a row. Shrek Forever After raised an additional $57 million during the Memorial Day frame to bring its domestic total to $146.8 million.
Meanwhile, Warner Bros. proved that people can get tired of sex. Sex and the City 2 - which featured the return of Aidan Shaw (John Corbett) - couldn’t get past the bad reviews to even match the first film’s numbers. (Sex and the City opened to $56.8 million in May 2008.) The lovely ladies also couldn’t overpower Jake Gyllenhaal’s four-day haul. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time wound up snagging second place with a $37.8 million debut.

Sarah Jessica Parker Game For Sex and the City Prequel
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Miramax, Adaptation, Adventure, Romance, Comedy, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking, Rumors
Sarah Jessica Parker wants to play Carrie Bradshaw in a possible Sex and the City prequel.
The 45-year-old actress insists advances in video technology would make it possible to play the journalist as a teenager, as depicted in creator Candace Bushnell’s latest book The Carrie Diaries.
“Who do I want to play teenage Carrie? I don’t know. Maybe they should use old footage of me. And in this new age of Avatar, what about a new 17-year-old S.J.?”
In the early 80s, Sarah Jessica was starring as Patty Greene in TV series Square Pegs and insists the character was a good representative of the early Carrie. “That might have been Carrie in high school,” she joked.
The actress - who has seven-year-old son James Wilkie and 11-month-old twins Marion and Tabitha with husband Matthew Broderick - recently admitted she plans to take her eldest child to see Sex and the City 2, but will take him out of the cinema during the raunchier moments.
“If I can manage to take him out for popcorn for two certain moments, I think he’s ready for it. He has too many questions, and he’s too clever for us to keep it from him. I wouldn’t say this movie is for seven-year-olds, but we’ll find a way of figuring it out.”
