More Sex, More Books

With the release of Sex and the City 2, what, less than 20 days away, anticipation is rising.

People – and by that I mean me! – can’t wait to see the ladies, the new men, Aidan, the city, and, of course, the clothes that Carrie & Co. will be rockin’.

Every detail of the oh-so-important latter topic will be covered in a new, official SATC 2 book coming out on May 18 featuring insider accounts from writer-director Michael Patrick King, as well as Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, and Cynthia Nixon.

Every single look that SJP et al. wear in the sequel is detailed in the 500-page tome, including the scoop of the ’80s fashion the women wear for their flashback scene.

A More Mindful Kinda Sex

Sex and the City star/producer Sarah Jessica Parker says the recently confirmed sequel to last year’s summer blockbuster will be more in tune with the current economic climate.

“How do we do that well? And how do we do that in a not lazy way?” Parker cannot help but wonder. “How do we address these economic times in a franchise that has a lot to do with luxury and labels?”

Parker adds that there is a lot that the SATC team has to think about because times are very different now that when they made the first movie.

“These are nice challenges, these are good challenges,” she said. So perhaps Carrie Bradshaw will not be strutting up and down Manhattan in $600 Manolos – but she still will look fabulous.

As to what we should expect of the sequel, Parker says “I think we want this one to be a romp. The last one, we got to tell a really mature sophisticated story that had real heartbreak in it, and this time, I think we want our audience to have a massive romp.”

The Sex and the City sequel is expected to arrive in theaters next year.

Pop It!

Here they strut again: The Sex and the City movie sequel is happening.

“I’m very excited to work with these amazing actresses again,” said returning director Michael Patrick King, “and would love to give everyone more information about the sequel...but I’m busy with my Sex life.”

All four SATC stars – Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, and Cynthia Nixon – are said to have finalized their deals on Wednesday.

King has yet to write a script, but shooting will reportedly begin this summer with a release date sometime in summer 2010.

Sex Happening

Sarah Jessica Parker!

I don’t know how I missed this, but the lovely Kristin Veitch of E! Online reported yesterday that the Sex and the City movie is, according to Carrie Bradshaw herself, “a go.”

The news isn’t a shocker, but it is more than welcome.

Now, this can only mean the countdown for that Spice Girls reunion is on, right? Right?
