'Sex And The City' Movie: Secrets, Details And An Exclusive Look

There's a moment in the new "Sex and the City" movie, The Post has learned, when Carrie Bradshaw is lounging in a cliff-top Mexican villa, overlooking a breathtaking view of the ocean, with her pink Swarovski-encrusted cellphone in hand. She's checking her voice mail.

First message.

It's from Big, who, as many know by now, actually has a name: John James Preston.

"Babe," he says affectionately, before saying he needs to talk to her urgently.

In a moment of pure impulsiveness, Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) throws her phone off the cliff. It goes sailing through the air, with the sun sparkling off the crystals as it falls into the ocean.

It's ludicrous. It's exciting. It's over-the-top.

And it's achieving what many in the film industry believed impossible just a few years ago: building a cinematic fantasy that's bigger than Big.

Spoiler alert! Continuing to read this exclusive story will tell you far more about the new movie than has been reported anywhere else.

Or watch the trailer:

Not interested at all. Now, if Armistad Maupin's "Tales of the City" or any of the follow up books were to be moviefied, I would find that enchanting. I know, there was that tv version , but that wasn't all that great. Heck, I lived in San Francisco in the '70s when "Tales" was just a little serial in the newspaper and it was so much fun.

How old are they now????? And I can't believe Miranda and Steve are ending things....I luv their relationship!!

[2please]

Looks like Mr. Big leaves her at the altar. I'm not buying it. His character is too sophisticated and suave to do something that tacky. Maybe they should have had him keel over and die from that heart problem he had towards the end of the series. Either way, I'm going to hate this, because I want her to end up with Big. I love him!

[politicaltheorist]

yay...it'll be soooo 90s! Sexless ageing japs (& their fabulous daddy-Mayor)have completely yuppified and glammed nyc. The city is now boring & dead....worse, it doesnt exist anymore. Baudrillard was right!

[ohdear08]

NYC priced itself out of the culture market by becoming gentrified to the point of turning into a giant Barney's. No future Madonna/Blondie/Jean Micheal Basquiet/James Baldwin could ever afford to move there or Brooklyn without a trust fund now so its become a giant retail spa with absurdist prices for living spaces reseverd for Saudi princesses, mega-mogul spawn, meaningless, irrelevant celebrities, overgrown hipsters, aging Chelsea "boys" and the contingency of rent-stabalized annoying NahYawkahs that nobody ever moved there to associate with anyway. The last time I was there I paid 14 bucks for a gin and tonic on THE LOWER EAST SIDE. That was last December. At that point I knew it was not only over but that I'd somehow been late for the funeral because it had LONG passed. (14 bucks!! On Chrystie Street!!) Now, will it rebound as a cultural force ever again? Until the mega-rich go broke, probably not.

[BlueBoomer]

Am I schizoid because I'm seriously frustrated and mad as hell about what's going on with the elections AND I seriously can't wait for this movie?!?

[happydayz]

I'm with you. I LOVED this show, it was such a pure, rich indulgence...like Belgian chocolate and a good old-vine zin! Hurry, May 30...I hope this primary doesn't make me slice my wrists first!

[RobertaWa]

Carrie Bradshaw is adorable. I don't care what anyone says

[stevenion]

Isn't it technically really tacky to plan a gigantic white wedding when you're marrying the guy whose first marriage you helped to end? Shouldn't second, post-affair weddings be a bit .... quieter?
and the news has been shared on the site SUGAR MOMMY MEET . C o M which is a site for the rich and successful ladies dating young and handsome men.

I am so excited about the movie. I just loved SATC. It was my favorite show, and I watched every episode, was so sad to see it go, got a glimmer of hope when there was a rumor of a movie deal in the works, but then SJP did an interview somewhere where she said there was no such thing, now it's done, and almost ready for the premier! OMG!

[Rosanneofpgh]

My friends and I are also looking forward to seeing the movie. A bunch of us are getting together and having a girls night out when the movie comes out.

As for SJP's looks, she has one of those faces that can look beautiful or homely, depending on the angle from which you see it.

For those of you who are critical of the movie, the answer is simple; JUST DONT GO TO SEE IT!!

[pithymaxim]

SJP is hideous, always has been.

[ohdear08]

For my life, I cannot figure out why people don't think SJP is pretty. I think and have always thought so. She's got a touch of exotic, a touch of something ethnic and some Jerry Hall going on there. And she's prettier than a lot of these young new things. I won't name names because celebrities have heightened self-awareness issues when it comes to their looks, but SJP, if you're reading this, Maxim and people like pithymaxim are just tacky Americans with no sense of aesthetic. If you were a French actress, you'd be an icon of looks and talent. If Charlotte Gainsborg or Lou Dillon or Julie Delpy were American, they'd never get parts, no one would know who they were. Real beauty is complicated, not easy, on the eyes and as far as I'm concerned the Eva Longoria's and Julia Roberts's of the world are pretty but uninteresting looking as hell.

[politicaltheorist]

its because she has absolutely no sex appeal whatsoever. SJP is loved by sexless women with eating disorders & desparate to beidentified with "New York" & desparate for their narcissistic appeal.....of, of course, loved by gay men. SJP is no so much about aesthetics but ascetics.

[bujeeboo]

So?

She's acting for godsakes, it's a ROLE. She's not competing in a beauty contest.

[daingel]

Aren't you a little bit late with this trailer?

It's been out since February and here's a link to a better version.

[sonofgandalf]

The series was very entertaining. It looks like it will be fun, "Sex In The City" style. My lady is just as anxious as I am!! At least we know is this is the absolute end of everything. Still have most of the series DVDs. We watch them from time to time just to have a laugh! So we're waiting and when the movie finally hits theatres May 30th, we'll be in that number.

[mirandawilde]

I can't believe people get paid so much money to make this useless shit.

[dattexas]

It's called entertainment. Most normal people like to escape every once in a while.

[mirandawilde]

Well, since you called it entertainment, I watched the trailer again, and made an honest effort to be entertained.
Here are the apparent conflicts:
Did Carrie invite too many people to her wedding?
How will it work out with her new personal assistant?
Will Carrie and her friend find appropriate Halloween costumes?
My God- What will happen? What will happen? What will happen?

Sorry, but except for one mildly amusing joke about bikini-waxing, which is the most over-done joke of the past decade (could we pleeeasse move on to something else- anything else- besides bikini waxing?) I'm afraid didn't see anything "entertaining." Which makes me very sad, when I consider all of the money that went into making this movie.
Oh, except for the platitude about "life not being like it is in your fantasies." Yeah, that's worth the 10 or 15 dollars you'd pay for admission to the theater.

One Big question: Isn't it technically really tacky to plan a gigantic white wedding when you're marrying the guy whose first marriage you helped to end? Shouldn't second, post-affair weddings be a bit .... quieter?

[Igglesbee]

Why yes, of course, your wedding should be all about your fiance's ex-wife. Of course.

[DCskyy]

Actually, this will be Big's third. In the first season, Carrie found out he was married before (to an editor at a publishing house). She set up a meeting with her ........Than he married Natasha.

[Mattie]

I can't wait for this movie, I'm going to go the day it opens. The serious was wonderful, I just hope the movie is.

[garyoke]

Yes - the "serious" (sic) WAS wonderful!!

My wife and I loved it - as a self-proclaimed straight man with a gay sensibility I know I'm in a minority of men, but who cares. I LOVE Sarah Jessica-Parker!!!!!!! (Although Kim Cattrell's firehouse sex scene was probably the hottest thing efver seen on television-----)
