Sex and the City Sequel is a Done Deal
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: New Line, Warner Bros, Romance, Sequels, Comedy, Casting, Rumors, Scripts, Upcoming Releases
Ladies, get your high heels ready. All the appropriate contracts have been signed, and Sex and the City is becoming an even bigger franchise. That’s right: a Sex sequel will be forthcoming.
A spokesperson for New Line has confirmed that the movie’s four female stars and head writer Michael Patrick King have signed on for much more Sex. This news probably doesn’t come as much of a shock. After the money the first flick made, New Line would probably do anything to get the girls back on the set.
The movie will be in theaters, if all goes according to plan, sometime in the summer of 2010. And what’s the word on the script? In a recent statement, King had this to say: “I’m very excited to work with these amazing actresses again and would love to give everyone more information about the sequel…but I’m busy with my Sex life.”

Could There Be a SATC Sequel?

Could fans possibly get more Sex?
Just in case you thought the story was over for Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte - don’t put your glasses down quite yet. While it could be another five years before we see the women back in action, the door on Sex and the City will never be completely closed.
Even though he didn’t create the current installment with a sequel in mind, writer/producer/director Michael Patrick King says he wouldn’t be opposed to revisiting the series.
“I wrote that movie with a beginning, middle and end because I didn’t want to leave the audience unfulfilled. The actresses are great, and if the gods smile and people are still interested, why not?”

Busting the Block: Does Sex and the City Have the Power?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Paramount, Romance, Comedy, Box Office, New Releases
With mega-hits like Indiana Jones also premiering this summer, what chance does the female-oriented Sex and the City movie really have for big box office numbers? A somewhat raunchy cable show that ran on a network which worshiped The Sopranos, Sex enjoyed its fair share of popularity during its six-year stint. But come on, four years have gone by. Could Sex really make it to the status of summer blockbuster?
If the New York crowds which gathered for every single day of shooting, all waving cameras and screaming their heads off, are any indication, the Sexy movie could surpass all expectations and change everything we know about a series-turned-cinema event. “Crowd control was difficult to deal with,” said Sarah Jessica Parker on filming the movie (largely based in New York City, as was the series). “It’s a wonderful problem to have that kind of interest; it was exciting to have that energy around us.”
Creator Darren Star and executive producer Michael Patrick King have each said they wanted the series to seem more like a movie - which is why it was often shot on the streets of New York with glossy, careful direction. That’s why Star thinks the series lends itself beautifully to a run on the silver screen.
The movie has had it’s gala premiere (er, it’s had three), and all that’s left now is a big opening weekend. It all happens Friday.

Director Yells Cut on Sex and the City Rumors
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Paramount, Romance, Comedy, Upcoming Releases
The Internet has been aflame since the telltale slip was released that a Sex and the City character will be offed in the upcoming motion picture. Many have speculated on just who will find a horrible fate with the franchise, but are any of them right?
Carrie’s black hair, leading trailers and general paranoia have led to one convincing rumor that it will, in fact, be Mr. Big who perishes in the film.
Director Michael Patrick King, who also supplies the commentaries for the DVDs, put an end to those rumors in recent statements to the press. “Kill Mr. Big?” King asked rhetorically. “I would have been chased around the planet by women with torches.” And that’s not even the half of it.
But with that statement, the director closed the door on all the current Sex speculation about actor Chris Noth‘s character. If Mr. Big won’t die…then, who will? “It’s a summer movie,” King told reporters. “Why would I want to kill anyone?” Could it be that the biggest Sex and the City slip of the season wasn’t even reality?
The Big News on the Sex & The City Movie
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: New Line, Comedy, Casting, Celeb News, Rumors, Scripts, Upcoming Releases
Yes, the Sex & the City movie is a done deal. Contracts are signed, apparently the script is written, and production is going forward next month. By 2010, all the Sex fans will strap Monolos to their feet and be off to the theaters to celebrate this triumphant big-screen debut of a show that’s still being syndicated (and probably always will be).
Yes, a lot of filming will be done in the city of New York – you can’t have Sex without it. Yes, Kim Cattrall is definitely signed on to play Samantha Jones and is going forward with the flick (HBO offered her a series just to cinch the deal). Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis will all set the big screen on fire as Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte. But…there is still one more element that we all must have, or else we just can’t have Sex.
