Sex and the City 要搬上銀幕了

(2007-07-05 19:26:43) 下一個



LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The four women who spiced up Manhattan's singles scene for six years on the HBO television series "Sex and the City" appear headed for a big-screen reunion after all.

New Line Cinema, a corporate sibling of HBO under Time Warner Inc., is close to sealing a final deal to finance and distribute the long-stalled picture, a spokesman for the studio said on Thursday.

The project is set to begin shooting in the fall with all four stars of the HBO hit -- Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon -- on board to reprise their roles.

Longtime series executive producer Michael Patrick King will direct the film from his own script and serve as producer, along with Parker and series creator Darren Star.

While no release date has been set, the movie presumably would arrive in theaters sometime next year.

Plans for a movie were first revealed by HBO in early 2004, months before the show ended its six-season run.

But the project stalled, according to show business newspaper Daily Variety, when Cattrall sought greater script control and a salary closer to that of Parker, who was more highly paid than her co-stars because she was a co-executive producer of the series.

Variety said Cattrall ultimately was won over with a sweetened offer that included a series deal with HBO.

The New Line spokesman said it was not immediately clear whether any supporting cast members, such as Chris Noth, would join the film.

"Sex and the City," based on the work of best-selling author Candace Bushnell, was the first cable series to win an Emmy for best comedy and starred Parker as a fashion-conscious New York columnist who writes about Manhattan's dating scene.

The series co-starred Cattrall as the vixen-like public relations executive Samantha Jones; Nixon as hard-boiled lawyer Miranda Hobbes, juggling career with motherhood; and Davis as inveterate optimist Charlotte York, who married her own divorce lawyer after a long search for Mr. Right.

While many television series over the years have been based on movies or made into feature films, it is rare for prime-time shows to make the transition to the big screen with most of their original cast members.

Among the few that have done so are "Star Trek" -- both the original series and "Star Trek: The Next Generation" -- and "The X-Files."

I am fine. I worked on the 4th of July, didn't go anywhere to see the fireworks or parade. I do not like being crowded.
flamenco_girl 回複 悄悄話 I bought the whole set of DVDs, didn't really follow the series during its show time. Very entertaining, isn't it? It's exaggerated, but make sense. It makes some thoughtful points as well regarding to mordern relationships and settling down for true love. I hope the film will a follow-up, instead of making a short version of existing ones. I'd be glad to see the new progress and new ideas after 2004.

I didn't go anywhere during this holidy, since it's in the middle of the week. Better relaxition, indeed, with less working days during the week, and taking Monday off for dance workshops. Usually, I enjoy low paced life during weekends and holidays.

How about you?
melly 回複 悄悄話 I love this series. I have watched every episode. To me, it is the first overall picture of American modern relationship, though sex counts a lot. I am sort of worrying if the volume of a movie could cover all of the stories, or the movie will be a follow-up? Actually, the series is good enough. The more I watch, the more I understand them. The girls are not seeking sex, but love and life-long relationsip.

How have you been? Had a relaxed holiday?

Enjoy the weekend.
