The Hollywood Reporter has the latest, the rumored Sex and the City prequel is a go at the CW. The CW network is moving forward with the project based on The Carrie Diaries, the book series written by Sex and the City author Candace Bushnell that follows Carrie Bradshaw during her senior year of high school in the early 1980s.
This will become a Warner Bros. Television project with former Sex and the City co-producer Amy B. Harris to serve as the show-runner. If it actually makes it into a series, the project would fit into a CW lineup that already includes such shows that the young, female demographic follow: The Vampire Diaries, Gossip Girl and 90210. However, not everyone is to thrilled about the idea.
Michael Patrick King, who produced the long-running HBO comedy, told reporters last month that he was, “not working on any Sex and the City prequel” and that he wasn’t interested in seeing the franchise move in that direction. “My Carrie Bradshaw started at 33, and I took her to 43. I didn't even want to know who Carrie Bradshaw's parents were because I thought she only existed in Manhattan," King said at the Television Critics Association’s summer press tour. "So for me, the idea of going backwards and making her less evolved ... is something that I don't imagine doing," (YahooTV).
This is interesting, I've yet to get into the original Sex in the City TV show, but it is on my list of shows that I've been wanting to see. I'm not a huge fan on the movie franchise, maybe because I never got into the show. But this should be interesting, especially when it comes to casting. I think maybe they should let it alone, and leave the books for reading. Then again, people need their money don't they?
