Since early 2004, the world has had to do without the romantic pratfalls of Carrie Bradshaw and her “Sex and the City” companions. Fans can watch the reruns, but even desperate enthusiasts find it hard to watch those watered-down versions of the show.
However, the withdrawal will soon come to an end. Both “Entertainment Weekly” and “Vanity Fair” have reported that the “Sex and the City” movie is back on track and will begin filming in September. Much to the excitement of fans, HBO’s online news blog, The Buzz, confirms this.
“I’m excited for it because when the show stopped I was hoping there was something more to come,” said Stephanie Hotujec, Gladstone, Mo., freshman. “I want Carrie and Big to end up together. That’s why I want to see it.”
Each of the four main actresses, Sarah Jessica Parker, as Carrie Bradshaw, Kim Cattrall, as Samantha Jones, Kristin Davis, as Charlotte York, and Cynthia Nixon, as Miranda Hobbes, have signed contracts to be in the movie. However, Chris Noth, who portrays Mr. Big, is the only actor from the end of the series to sign on so far.
This cast brought plots concerning every aspect of relationships, friendships and modern life to television.

“There is an episode for every topic: bad breakups, petty girls, broken friendships, fashion, managing money and obviously sex,” said Anna Allen, Lawrence freshman. “It was always a relief to sit down to watch it, and see an episode you could relate with in one way or another. It talks about life in an honest way.”
The show was a forerunner in the frank discussion of sex and relationships, as well as a showcase for single women at the millennium. It created many catalysts for discussion, as well as memorable fashion trends.
“I think the show has opened up a lot of sex issues that were previously taboo and changed people’s ideas of what is appropriate to talk about, maybe even giving them ideas,” said Morgan Smith, Topeka freshman.“The ‘Sex and the City’ movie is going to be the highlight of my year, and I will camp outside of the theater to get tickets if I have to.”
Ultimately, the core of the show wasn’t about sex, but the friendship of the four main characters. Yes, Big was integral to the show, but he never would have gone to Paris to get Carrie if it hadn’t been for Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha.
“It’s made me realize how important friendships are,” said Stephanie Graham, Wichita freshman.
HBO’s Web site reports that the creative team behind the show will be the same for the movie. Although no release date has been issued, students can expect the same high standards of refreshing dialogue, realistic relationships and cute shoes as the show.
