欲望都市 花絮
它创下的HBO最成功剧集之位至今没能被撼动;它的每一条小道消息,都可以成为街头巷尾的热门谈资;它是《帝国》杂志钦点预测的年度最火爆女性电影;而在美国华纳在线42万人次的暑期电影网络票选中,它更以高达32%的选票,成为北美观众最期待的暑期电影。暑期最热门的5月,在电视上完美谢幕的《欲望城市》终于要掀开大银幕之旅!
若不是薪酬方面的不和谐,引领风骚的电影版《欲望城市》早就在剧集完毕之后就火速上架。不过,即便“欲女”缺席4年,剧集前无古人后无来者的魅力依然没有一刻减弱。难得原剧执行制片人兼编导重出江湖,不但轻松搞定“欲望女郎”和剧中恋人的一一回归,吸引了奥斯卡新贵“追梦女孩”珍妮弗·哈德森的加盟,就连纽约现任市长也抵挡不住魅力前来客串。更有噱头的是,《欲望城市》剧集后更凭《时尚女魔头》提名奥斯卡的服装设计师,将全面发挥名利场的气派--仅萨拉·杰西卡·帕克一人在戏中就有多达179套服饰,华丽的设计早已先声夺人成为绝对焦点!
即将迈入电视剧开拍10周年纪念的《欲望城市》,自然也免不了受些苛责--四位不再年轻的女主角能不能抵挡无情岁月再现热辣,总是成为争议的关键。即便如此,你也不用怀疑它的致命吸引力,拥有超级人气的电影版光在拍摄的拥挤盛况,都比某些电影首映式的热闹有过之而无不及!目前唯一的疑问则是:电影版的出手,是会出手不凡,抑或英雄气短?
Movie Synopsis : 2008 Sex and the City: The Movie
Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), successful author and everyone’s favorite fashion icon-next-door, is back, her famously sardonic wit intact and sharper than ever, as she continues to narrate her own story about sex, love and the fashion- obsessed single woman in New York City. Sex and the City finds Carrie, Samantha (Kim Cattrall), Charlotte (Kristin Davis), and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) four years after the hit HBO series ended, as our favorite friends continue to jugglejobs and relationships while navigating motherhood, marriage and Manhattan real estate.
“Year after year, twenty-something women come to New York City in search of the two “L”s: labels and love. Twenty years ago, I was one of them. Having gotten the knack for labels early…I concentrated on love.” -- Carrie Bradshaw
Chris Noth reprises his iconic role of Carrie’s handsome yet elusive Mr. Big; David Eigenberg as Miranda’s down-to-earth husband Steve Brady; Evan Handler as Harry, Charlotte’s dependable and loving husband; and Jason Lewis as Smith Jerrod, an actor, client and devoted lover of Samantha’s.
Also co-starring are Candice Bergen as preeminent Vogue Magazine editor Enid Frick and Academy Award?-winning actress Jennifer Hudson (Dreamgirls) as Carrie Bradshaw’s young and inexperienced but still label-savvy assistant, Louise, a character new to New York and introduced in the film. Also returning are Mario Cantone as Anthony Marentino, Charlotte’s opinionated wedding planner, and Willie Garson as Carrie’s sartorially splendid pal Stanford Blatch.
Michael Patrick King, longtime executive producer and a writer and director of the series, writes and directs Sex and the City. The producers are Michael Patrick King, Sarah Jessica Parker, John Melfi and Darren Star, who initially created the series based on semi-autobiographical columns written by Candace Bushnell for the New York Observer. The film also reunites the cast with iconic fashion designer Patricia Field, who defined a decade of fashion.
New Line Cinema will release Sex and the City (not yet rated by the M.P.A.A.) in theaters nationwide on May 30th, 2008.
