Sex and the City Starts Filming...in the City

200709satc.jpgWe got mixed reviews in our poll about the Sex and the City movie that's coming out more than three years after the show ended its HBO series. Whether we wanted it or not, the movie is going to happen -- and film crews and cast have already arrived.

Where are they filming? The Daily News reports that, toting around a bag only Carrie Bradshaw could pull off (one shaped like the Eiffel Tower), Sarah Jessica Parker filmed the first promo shots yesterday on Fifth Avenue across from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Later in the day the movie began filming scenes on 63rd Street and Madison Avenue at the New York Academy of Sciences.

Onlookers saw Chris Noth (aka Mr. Big) makin' out with SJP, so it looks like the on-screen relationship survived post-Paris (for now). Poor Mikhail Baryshnikov. Other than MB, the entire cast seems to be back -- including Candice Bergen, who will return as the vicious Vogue editor. Looks like Carrie got herself a new job, and though it's unclear if it's at Condé or not -- she does have an assistant, who will be played by Dreamgirl Jennifer Hudson.

Sex and the City, as a phenomenon, is a social problem.

They were filming at around Lexington and 70th this morning. Sidewalks were blocked off. It was a bit annoying (but also exciting to see that much of a production). Too bad I had to get to work and could not hang out and people watch.

Isn't Sarah Jessica Parker a little too old for sex?

the most un-newyork show that has ever existed

Does anybody really give a shit? Oh wait, all of my co-workers do. I must find a new job.

Chris Noth should have his cock revoked.

i hated sex in the city for years but then started to love it once it was on reruns on the cw. This should not make me any less of a man.

worst show to ever happen to nyc.

This show is the only reason I actually like NYC. It makes it seem cool and fun and exciting. In reality, it's full of assholes and I hate it here. I wish I could move :-\

The only good thing about Sex and the City was the SNL spoof with Christina Aguilera as Samantha.

I could think of a lot more interesting characters and plots under the title Sex and the City in NYC. Boring drippy girls. What ever. I would never date one of those dumbbelles.

If nothing else the presence of the show will attract more annoying, spoiled american girls into
the dating scene of the city. Prada before Pravda!

So don't go see it, you bunch of complainers. Sheesh.

good news for Chris Noth, seems he needs the money...I saw him getting off the Q at union square the other day.
