Sex and the City Movie to Start Filming This Fall

Talk about delayed gratification!

After three years of rumors that Sex and the City was being made into a movie, the film version of the hit HBO series is scheduled to start filming this fall, with New Line Cinema expected to finance and distribute.

The fab foursome, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon, are all set to reprise their roles.

Exec producer Michael Patrick King wrote the script and will also direct. Parker will also be producing, along with King, John Melfi and Darren Star, who created the series based on autobiographical columns penned by Candace Bushnell for the New York Observer.

The film was close to happening about two years ago, but the project got scrapped after Cattrall demanded script control and a salary more in line with Parker’s, who, as co-executive producer of the series, was more highly paid than the rest of the cast.

Sources tell Variety that Cattrall is happy with her new deal which gives her a hefty paycheck, a future series deal with HBO, and allows her to offer input on her scenes in the film.

“I’m hoping that we’ll be hitting the street soon in our high heels!” Cattrall tells Us.

Chris Noth (aka. Mr. Big) has yet to sign on for the project. New Line is expected to close deals with supporting cast members over the next few months.

There is no word on whether Jason Lewis will reprise his role as Samantha’s much-younger boyfriend “Smith Jarrod.” “We’ll just have to wait and see,” he says.

Mario Cantone, who played Charlotte’s wedding planner Anthony, also has his finger’s crossed on nabbing a role in the film version.

“I hope it all goes smoothly and it gets done, because I want to do it very badly,” he recently told Us.

Um who really cares? If I want to see something realistic, funny & really great watch RESCUE ME on FX. But it's not something for empty headed females. Sex & the City was pathetic & is still. The only one I even like is Kristen Davis.

I gotta give 'em props for trying. I hope it is not a big fat disappointment! Can they really give us all the best in a 2 hour movie? What's next a Soprano movie. HBO has enough of my money. And for what? A big, black screen? Boo Hiss Hiss

I have been waiting for this movie to hit the Big Screen.
Can't Wait... it is going to be GREAT!

1:22 PM liz Says:

I love the series, but th SATC movie shouldn't be made as an effort to revive their careers. Of course movies have been made for worse reason I suppose.

1:17 PM GrandmaShirl Says:

I agree if they are not all included then no reason to make the movie..I absolutely love this show and I have the DVD collection and have been waiting for the movie but everyone needs to be present including Big, Smith Jarrod, Anthony, Stanford and of course Steve!!!!

yuck! who wants to see a movie about a bunch of ugly, wrinkled, skinny, whiny women who are totally unlike those of us who live in nyc and date? i hope people don't seriously think thats what dating and life are like in nyc.

im so excited!

12:34 PM disappointed Says:

I am the only one who is not happy about this? I think that SATC should be left as is. This is like a made-for-TV reunion movie, but for the big screen. The show ended how they wanted the characters to to be left. Plus, it's quite a few years later now! Are they going to go back in time (can't be up on the latest styles then), for fast forward to the present (if so, we will have missed out on much of their lives). Not a good idea.

If they dont use the characters from the Series, then they shouldnt be a movie: All the characters should be involved.

11:50 AM Lana Says:

I can't wait.
