Sex and the City film finally coming to silver screen

Television show Sex and the City is finally coming to the big screen as Sarah Jessica Parker and her co-stars Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davies and Kim Cattrall have finally agreed terms after months of talks.

The quartet are dusting off their Manolo Blahniks for a much-awaited film version of the hit television show which aired it's last episode.

Filming will begin in New York in September, according to Variety magazine. The Hollywood showbiz bible contends that a deal has been signed between HBO and New Line Studios to begin shooting a film version.

Celebrity websites have long speculated that attempts to make the movie failed after Cattrall reportedly asked for the same money as Parker, who was paid more in the show because of her role as executive producer.

Parker tried to downplay talk of friction between the actresses at the launch of her budget clothing line Bitten earlier this year.

She said: "It is a very complicated puzzle to put back but not for the reason that people speculate about, because as far as I know, all of the actresses want to be together for this movie."

Variety also reported that as part of the film deal, Cattrall has been assured future roles in forthcoming HBO programming.

The plot is a highly guarded secret and it's not yet known if popular co-stars such as Chris "Mr Big" Noth will be appearing.
