Law & Order legend Chris Noth has finally signed on to the Sex and the City movie.
He'll join Sex girls Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis in a film whose potential has suffered from three years of delay, loss of momentum and buzz caused mainly by Kim Cattrall's misconceptions that she's a) really the sexpot character she played on the HBO series and b) a star, as well as complications from c) Cynthia Nixon's real-life coming out as a butch lesbian and d) the general understanding that Sarah Jessica Parker's face doesn't look all that great blown up to 30 by 70 feet.
Chris, of course, will be back in his beloved role as "Mr. Big"... so named because the character has a huge...
...reputation as a powerful businessman.
The deal to turn HBO's gay male allegory into a movie was finally sealed last month, and big bucks are expected because of the series' unexpected success in its censored, sexless syndicated version. Series executive producer Michael Patrick King will write and direct and shooting should start next month in-- where else?
