Sex and the City comes to Tinseltown

New Line Cinema is partnering with HBO to bring the hit sitcom Sex and the City to the big screen, reports DailyVariety.

Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, and Cynthia Nixon are signed to reprise their roles in the movie. The script will be written by longtime executive producer Michael Patrick King.

King will be working with Parker, John Melfi, and Darren Star to produce the film, which has been anticipated since the show's end in 2004.

The film project almost came together two years ago but fell apart when Cattrall backed away, the paper reports. It was rumored that she wanted script control and a salary closer to that of Parker, who was more highly paid than her coworkers because of her role as a producer of the series. According to DailyVariety, sources say that Cattrall is now allowed to give input on her scenes and will receive a larger paycheck. (The Advocate)
