We’ve known for ages that the Sex And The City movie was going to be released in the US on 30 May, but there was a question mark over its UK release date, since we sometimes have to wait months for big movies to make their way across the Atlantic. But we’ve just received the most exciting email ever, revealing that the UK release date is actually Wednesday 28th May – a whole two days before the US. Wow! Here’s all the info we’ve just been sent…
New York’s favourite, fashionable, female foursome are back, continuing their search for sex, love and relationships not to mention the perfect pair of sling backs in Sex And The City in cinemas on 28 May 2008.
Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), successful author and everyone’s favourite fashion icon-next-door, is back, her famously sardonic wit intact and sharper than ever, as she continues to narrate her own story about sex, love and the fashion-obsessed single woman in New York City. Sex And The City finds Carrie, Samantha (Kim Cattrall), Charlotte (Kristin Davis), and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) four years after the hit HBO series ended, as our favourite friends continue to juggle jobs and relationships while navigating motherhood, marriage and Manhattan real estate.
Chris Noth reprises his iconic role of Carrie’s handsome yet elusive Mr. Big; David Eigenberg as Miranda’s down-to-earth husband Steve Brady; Evan Handler as Harry, Charlotte’s dependable and loving husband; and Jason Lewis as Smith Jerrod, an actor, client and devoted lover of Samantha’s.
Also co-starring are Candice Bergen as preeminent Vogue Magazine editor Enid Frick and Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Hudson (Dreamgirls) as Carrie Bradshaw’s young and inexperienced but still label-savvy assistant, Louise, a character new to New York and introduced in the film. Also returning are Mario Cantone as Anthony Marentino, Charlotte’s opinionated wedding planner, and Willie Garson as Carrie’s sartorially splendid pal Stanford Blatch.
Michael Patrick King, longtime executive producer and a writer and director of the series, writes and directs Sex And The City. The producers are Michael Patrick King, Sarah Jessica Parker, John Melfi and Darren Star, who initially created the series based on semi-autobiographical columns written by Candace Bushnell for the New York Observer. The film also reunites the cast with iconic fashion designer Patricia Field, who defined a decade of fashion.
Sex And The City will be released in the UK through Entertainment Film Distributors on 28 May 2008.
