‘Sex And The City’ Prequel In The Works?

7/26/2011 by

‘Sex and The City‘ may be returning to the big screen, but this time it won’t be a sequel.

The proposed film will be based on the novels, The Carrie Diaries and Summer And The City, which chronicles the lives of the four New York ladies during their teen years and early twenties.

Rumor has it that the roles will go to Blake Lively as Samantha, Selena Gomez as Charlotte, Emma Roberts as Miranda and Elizabeth Olsen as Carrie.

Sarah Jessica Parker doesn’t seem to be too fond of this idea stating, “I don’t think we can pretend to go back… It’s creating two histories. It’s like, ‘Oh I didn’t know that about Carrie Bradshaw.’”

Kristin Davis agrees saying, “We’ve discussed our history in the show already so for all of our fervent fans who listen to what we say, why would we rewrite that?”

In defense of the prequel creator Candace Bushnell said, “Every character has a back-story – what the reader sees, in a sense, is the tip of the iceberg. The characters don’t exist in a vacuum – when we first meet them… in their Thirties and single in New York – they are, in a sense, in the middle of their stories.”

What do you think of the new cast?

I don’t think this is a good idea at all, and I don’t think that I would watch it. I think the younger actors are poor choices for their older counterparts. Also, sex and the city has been around for such a long time – they would have to go way back. Also, how the four characters met, etc, was already outlined in the movies, so they are going to create two histories, just like Sarah Jessica Parker said. We already know the history – we already know how they met and what they were like. If they make another one, they would have to go back to when the four didn’t even know each other.
Also, if this does happen, I would recommend that Blake Lively be a bit careful about the roles she is picking… sounds to me like this would be basically a replica of her character from gossip girl… and sounds a little too sisterhood of the traveling pants for me.
