They're back!!


You thought it was over, and you were wrong!! They have all signed for another one, including Mr Big! Yes SATC will be back! They are starting to shoot on 19th September and it should be on the big screen for 30th May 2008 in the US. I have to admit I am a little bit puzzled, I think that good things come to an end and that to serve us the same dish reheated is not always a winning recipe!
Doing a movie on a series which seduced people because it was like a chronicle, moments of life, anecdotes, a New Yorker diary, anyway you get the whole idea, I am not convinced, even though I am a huge fan of the series.

After 3 years of going back and forth, because of problems with the scenario, salaries, castings, and actors availability, etc... We did not believe it would happen (and we didn't really care anymore).
HBO (who only has very successful series such as Sopranos, Sixt feet under, Big Love, Rome and the very popular Entourage) was trying to close the deal since 2004, but apparently the rumour has it that Kim Cattrall would not agree on her salary as she wanted the same as SJP. As any big money story, agreements are always possible and after a promise of her own serie on HBO and a good financial deal, she has eventually said yes (and probably that her bank account is getting low so she is not that picky anymore)
We already know that Carrie will have an assistant and Jennifer Hudson has been casted for the part. She was in Dreamgirls, she was the one with the amazing voice but who gets fired, oh and she was also in the final of American Idol -Star Ac in France. We can already expect tons of Manolos and Jimmy Choo, oodles of Cosmos and above all a lot of dirty conversations! Obviously the main topic will be Carrie et Mr Big, Samantha and Smith, Miranda and euh.... Steve (Right?), Charlotte and Harry...
All in all nothing new and it would have been better to have left us on the last episode, allowing each of us to just imagine the end (having said that they better not do the same when it comes to Lost, I would get really mad and launch a complaint group!!)
Ok I stop being snobish, because after all if I am talking about it it means I do care about it just a little!!
