Sex and the City: The Movie?

They say it's a done deal but I've heard that song before. Apparently Kim Cattrall has decided making Disney ice skating films isn't quite the follow-up to her iconic role on Sex and The City that she had hoped it would be and has fallen in line with the other actors who signed on to make SATC: The Movie. Rumor has it shooting begins in late summer or early fall. I'm hoping this won't turn out to be a case of too little, too late.

Rumor also has it that the story will pick up a few years down the road, in real time, in deference to the "slight aging" of the actresses. Three years makes a difference? Come on. Actresses don't age in real time. Everyone knows that. And even in the brutal light of reality it's highly unlikely your face will fall apart in three short years. (Okay, so that's a hot button for me. It isn't easy being the only woman on the planet who'll be going to the grave with the same face she started out with.)

The big question, though, is where do they go from here? Happily-ever-after endings for everyone just don't seem likely to me. Samantha and Smith walking off hand-in-hand into the forever sunset? Sorry, I just don't buy it. I don't buy Carrie and Big either, come ot think of it. Charlotte and Harry? Yes, absolutely. Miranda and Steve? I loved them together from the start.

Considering the fact that SATC ran six wonderful seasons without ever once utilizing the characters' back stories, this should be interesting.
