Yesterday, Variety reported that New Line Cinema and HBO are closing the deal for a film version of HBO's popular series Sex and the City .
Sarah Jessica Parker and company are all set to reprise their roles, with the series' executive producer Michael Patrick King directing a script that he wrote.
Here's the question: do we really need a celluloid version of the ladies, sexing it up in a bigger version of the city? I'm annoyed. The series wrapped up after a long run and resolved all the lingering questions, including the "Big" question. It became a cultural touchstone. What else really needs to be said?
Here's why it bothers me: Hollywood and the creative minds behind Sex and the City could put their financial and creative energies behind an original idea. There are tons of them out there. Stop drawing from the same old story well.
Thoughts?
