20th September 2007
New Yorkers yesterday went back in time, with filming for HBO’s Sex and the City movie beginning on the Upper East Side.
Starting on Fifth across from MOMA, TV's favorite dating columnist, Carrie Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, took her first strut in promotional shots for the film.
In the afternoon, the crew, clad in "Sex and the City: The Movie" sweatshirts, shifted the scene to 63rd St. and Madison Ave. for the first shot of the movie - though not necessarily the first scene.
The location was the interior of the foyer at the New York Academy of Sciences, which had been cleverly disguised with a new awning - suggesting that it could be used in the film as the foyer of Mr. Big's apartment building.
A peek into one of the trailers on the scene revealed a glittering wardrobe of funky clothes for Parker, who has always been known for her flashy fashion.
Since the end of the series in 2004, whispers of a movie version of the glam New York City sex comedy have had fans crossing their fingers.
According to New York Daily News, the film, which has been three years coming, finally got the green light this past summer. They report, “In July, New Line and HBO finally announced their partnership on the movie to be helmed by director/producer Michael Patrick King, with backing from John Melfi, series creator Darren Star and Parker. In the same breath, the studio confirmed the four central actresses: Parker, Cynthia Nixon as Miranda Hobbes, Kristin Davis as Charlotte York and Kim Cattrall as Samantha Jones.”
On-set sources told New York Daily News, the film will shoot in NYC, on L.A.'s Rodeo Drive, in Malibu and in Mexico - as well as at the offices of Vogue, where Candice Bergen will return to her role as the mag's icy editrix.
Sex and the City Movie is due for release in the US May 30th 2008.
