'Sex' May Hit Silver Screen

Posted Jun 21, 07 4:18 AM CDT in Gossip,  Arts & Living 

(Newser) – This time it's definitely not TV—it's a movie. Variety is fueling already animated rumors that HBO mega-hit Sex and the City may spawn a feature film later this year. Former CEO Chris Albrecht, who left the network last month in disgrace, has reportedly been captaining the effort to translate Carrie and the gang to the big screen.

Gossip has circulated about the Hollywood debut of the fabulous foursome since the show's abrupt 2004 signoff. Rumor had it that Kim Cattrall—to millions of fans the decadent Samantha—was uncharacteristically unyielding in negotiations, but has finally been seduced. And headliner (and former EP) Sarah Jessica Parker has implied filming is imminent.

    The studios were wowed by the huge turnout for Sex and the City, and a slew of sisterly imitations could follow, Variety reports. Movie executives have been leery of chick flicks in the past, and they still hold doubts about projects with slim crossover potential. But with four other femme-centered pics in last week's top 10, Hollywood's glass ceiling could be closer to shattering. More »

    Great Sex for Series Fans Sex and the City: The Movie will probably delight die-hard fans but disappoint others, critics say. “I am not the person to review this movie,” admits Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times—not a fan—who writes that he counted only “one line of truly witty dialogue.” Nevertheless, “this is probably the exact Sex and the City film that fans of the TV series are lusting for.” More »
