Sealed with a kiss... Sex and the City's Carrie gets her Mr Big on the silver screen



Pucker up, Big boy: Carrie smooches her man on set this week



Couture outfit, a ridiculous handbag and the most impractical shoes for walking on a New York pavement.

It must be Carrie Bradshaw. Actress Sarah Jessica Parker this week stepped back into her role as the Cosmopolitan-swilling columnist.

She and her fellow cast members began filming the movie follow-up to Sex and the City, more than three years after the TV series finished.

The cinema version picks up their story four years on.

In these pictures Miss Parker, 42, is seen in a passionate embrace with Mr Big, played by Chris Noth, 52.

According to on-set sources, the pair were filming a scene where they were house-hunting together.

She is carrying a quirky handbag in the shape of the Eiffel Tower, perhaps a reference to the TV finale, in which the couple declared their love in Paris.

Around four million watched that episode when it was shown on Channel 4 in March 2004.

Despite many pleas from fans, the Sex and the City film was delayed — reportedly because of rows over money between Miss Parker and costar Kim Cattrall.

But now Parker, Cattrall, Kristin Davis, and Cynthia Nixon are all reprising their roles and are thought to have negotiated fees in excess of £3million.

Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Hudson, from the musical Dreamgirls, has joined the cast and will play Carrie's assistant.

The film is due for release in Britain next summer.
