The film originally was slated for production shortly after the end of the TV series in 2004.

An agreement was finally reached in 2007 which included a series deal for Cattrall.

Movie Connections:

Follows "Sex and the City" (1998)

Sexy!

Wow, what can I say? I think that they definitely pulled this movie off! Being a huge fan of the television show, I was eager to see how it would transfer onto the big screen. And I was not disappointed. It was fresh and funny, the characters I remembered and loved were amazing as ever. It was savvy, stylish and of course, sexy. People complain that when television shows are made into a movie, it will just be a longer version of an episode of the television show. But I do not think this is the case with Sex and the City: The Movie. The plot is very well done (although still a secret, sorry) and lose ends and questions are tied. I felt this movie was very satisfying and witty. I could never expect a masterpiece when a movie is based on a television show, but I felt that the movie lived up to expectations; fashionable, incredibly witty and of course, crude as ever.
