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.

SATC Scoop: Set Secret Spills
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Paramount, Romance, Comedy, Rumors, Scripts, Upcoming Releases
The May 12 premiere of the Sex and the City movie is still up in air, though it is said the film will certainly not make its debut at Cannes. Right now, insiders are hinting toward London, though it’s still not altogether impossible the movie will premiere in New York. The press junket is scheduled to begin in New York May 2, and rumor suggests Sex may premiere in London and New York.
As to the soundtrack, current gossip says that Fergie and Jennifer Hudson (who will play Carrie Bradshaw’s assistant in the film) will both record new tunes. But the real Sex scoop was released by Cynthia Nixon, a.k.a. Miranda Hobbs. This certain redhead let it slip on April 15 that “a character dies in the movie.” Enter panic mode now.

The $24,000 Sex and the City Tour
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories:
If a simple bus tour wouldn’t be enough to quench your thirst for anything and everything Sex and the City, you can now do one better. For only $24,000, you can now live like the girls of the popular HBO show.
To celebrate the May 30th big screen debut, a company called Destination on Location will offer bored souls a way to experience someone else’s life.
For five nights, die-hard fans will travel to some of the characters’ favorite haunts. They will also receive products those four women frequently enjoyed. Stops will include a trip a trip to the SoHo House (remember when Samantha tried to get access to the exclusive club’s rooftop pool?), a shopping spree and cocktail party at Jimmy Choo, brunch at the same cafeteria the chatty ladies loved to dine in and access to the movie’s premiere on May 27th. (I’m assuming bucketloads of cosmopolitans will be served somewhere along this route.)

New Sex and the City Trailer
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: New Line, Drama, Romance, Comedy, Trailers, Upcoming Releases
Finally - a more substantive glance at the upcoming Sex and the City Movie!
While I will undoubtedly watch the release, I must say the newest trailer gives the film a much darker tone than I would have liked to see. (You can view it for yourself, after the jump.) Is it because the show is best served on the small screen? Should the series only be viewed in 30-minute snippets? Is the teaser simply a bad representation? (Oh, I hope so.)
Regardless, the clip does give us a few juicy tidbits:
- Apparently Mr. Big’s (full) name is John James Preston. (I think I like him better when he’s not an actual person.)
- It looks like Steve may have cheated on Miranda. (The Steve I know would never do something like that.)
- Commitment-phobe Samantha may be wandering from Smith Jerrod.
- Charlotte is indeed pregant. (She adopted that kid for nothing.)
- And last but not least, Carrie’s planned wedding to Big falls apart?
Be looking for SATC to hit theaters this May 30.

‘Sex and the City’ Trailer
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Paramount, Romance, Comedy, Trailers, Upcoming Releases
The Sex and the City movie trailer has finally arrived, and it’s just as promising and exciting as fans could want. It begins with a voice-over and a wide, sweeping view of Manhattan, then quickly falls into an image free-for-all while the theme music blares invitingly. Quick screenshots flash past, showing images inside Carrie’s apartment, the four girls walking together, and a photo shoot where Carrie sports the much-touted wedding dress. As the music ends, the final scene shows a steamy kiss between Carrie and Mr. Big. All of it leads up to the promise that the movie will debut May of 2008.
