London Calling

The Envelope's Elizabeth Snead ran a "Dish Rag" story Friday about Warner Bros./New Line's Sex and the City apparently planning its first big premiere in London sometimes between May 13th and 16th, with the New York premiere set for May 27th.


Okay, but shouldn't Snead have at least explained why the Cannes Film Festival debut notion, which Sarah Jessica Parker said was a possibility in a Snead article that ran on 3.14, has apparently been deep-sixed? If this is the case, I'm not convinced, as Defamer's Stu Van Airsdale wrote last Friday, that this means SATC has been jilted or pink-slipped by Cannes.

My guess is that the Warner Bros. handlers simply decided against the Cannes option because they didn't want to endure a DaVinci Code-like pummeling by festival correspondents and figured London would offer more of a slurpy kiss-ass reception. There's also the possibility that the film is quite good or at least satisfying on its own terms and that the Cannes sidestep means nothing at all in terms of "uh-oh" indications. I'm only saying that Snead should have addressed this.

Terrifying is the word for that picture. We'll see how this turns out.

It's because nobody outside of America could possibly give less of a fuck about 'Sex In The City'.

In fact, I'm not sure very many people outside of NYC and LA will care much, but that might just be wishful thinking.

Has Cynthia Nixon ever had a good haircut in her entire life?

insidah, shut the fuck up. I bet you date 50 year old women all the time because you're so progressive.

Cut me some fucking slack, I'm pushing 30, losing my hair a bit, worried about getting old, and this whole Cougar movement is really freaking me the fuck out.

Denial is depressing. Deal with it.

insidah,

Not attacking the actresses, but you have to admit that's not a terribly flattering picture.

The Manhattan Project?

Seriously, say all you want about the flyover hicks, but they are absolutely not the ones to blame for this shit.

You guys don't know what you are talking about. Every freaking women's mag in Italy (where I now live) and the UK is talking about this darn movie. I had no idea that the show was so popular over here, esp. in the UK. Unless the script is horrendous (and well even if it is) this is going to be a monster hit.

Add to the mix that there are so few female driven comedies (now the romantic comedies are about the men) I say there is an audience esp. outside NYC and LA that will want to see this.

I'd pay $20 to watch the four of them gang up on D. O. Russell. "This one's for Lily Tomlin, " they'd scream as they hit him with their Fendi purses.
