Sex and the city
Sex and the
City is an American cable television series. The show
was based in part on writer Candace Bushnell's book of the same name,
compiled from her column with the New York
Observer. Bushnell
has stated in several interviews that the Carrie Bradshaw in her
columns is her alter ego; when she wrote the "Sex and the City" essays,
she used her own name initially; for privacy reasons, however, she
created the character of Carrie Bradshaw, a promiscuous woman who was
also working as a writer and living in New York City. Carrie also has
the same initials, a flourish emphasizing her connection with Bushnell.
The film originally was slated for production near the end of the
broadcast series run in 2004, but the movie deal fell through at that
time. Multiple press reports at the time indicated a personal dispute
between Parker and Cattrall, as well as Cattrall's refusal to sign a
contract for the film at a pay scale considerably less than Parker's.
The second installment of the film had began filming on September 1,
2009, with Sarah Jessica Parker and Chris Noth. On September 18, 2009,
Kim Cattrall, who plays Samantha Jones, was pictured in a wedding dress
speculating that her character might be getting married in the film.
The film was released on May 27, 2010 in the United States and May 28,
2010 in the United Kingdom. The world premiere of the movie held on 24th
May of 2010.
Again, the film stars Sarah
Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis, Kim Cattrall and
Chris Noth, who reprised their roles from the previous film and TV
series. It also features cameos from Liza Minnelli, Miley Cyrusand
Penélope Cruz. Michael Patrick King has confirmed in interviews that a
third instalment is in development as well as a possible fourth to end
the series for good.
