New Line Cinema is close to sealing a final deal to finance and distribute the long-stalled film version of HBO television series “Sex and the City” reports the trades.
According to a spokesman for the studio, the film is getting ready for a Fall start of shooting, with all four actresses reprising their roles and Michael Patrick King directing a script he wrote.
Actress Kim Cattrall, who couldn’t come to a deal a few years ago when the film was originally planned, has secured one she’s happy with which is said to include some creative control, a large salary and a future series deal with HBO.
Talk that supporting cast members like Chris Noth (Mr. Big) would take part, but New Line has not set any such deals.
