"Sex And The City" Sequel Like, "Sopranos" Movie Maybe, Says HBO

New York Times:

Given the enormous box office success of "Sex and the City," talk of a sequel is not surprising. And on Thursday HBO confirmed that Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema are already at work on No. 2.

"There is enormous interest" by Warner Bros., Michael Lombardo, president of the HBO programming group, told reporters at the Television Critics Association press tour in Los Angeles. "And I think, in fact, they're trying, with our help, to put that together now. When that happens, how long between, can't say. But there's absolutely interest."

Mr. Lombardo said the producers and financiers were "really heartened" by the enthusiasm from fans.

A movie version of "The Sopranos" isn't as certain, but if series creator David Chase is interested, then HBO is too.

"It's obviously totally up to David," Richard Plepler, the HBO president, said. "But if David wants to do it, we'd be delighted to explore that, absolutely."

Thankfully not having a TV saved me from both of these pop icons...just what America needs more of- sex and violence...how entertaining.

Eventually the sequels will be called:

"Sex and the Assisted Living Community"

"It's all there" David Chase said about the ending of the Soprano's. And if you take him at his word and all of the objective and accurate analysis of the final scene, Tony Soprano is dead.

To bring him back would be as lame as the dream sequence in Dallas many years ago.

NO Soprano Movie, because Tony was whacked!

love the series, didn't really like the movie, but go for it. i'm sure they can mine something only this time NO LONGER THAN 100 MINUTES PLEASE!!!!

A "Sopranos" film would be awesome to solve one of the great questions ever posed in tv history: WHAT HAPPENED IN THE DINER???? (my guess, they all throw up when they realize how crappy Journey really is)

Let's get an ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT movie first.

Please spare us S&TC ... but I wouldn't mind more Sopranos ...

[helen]

Oh, gawd, please no.

[magneato]

Screw that, when do we get a Curb Your Enthusiasm movie?

[Eric8869]

The first movie was so long I felt like there already was a sequel.

LOL.

No "Sex in the City" sequel!!! There is nothing else to resolve. Plus, I cannot take another opening weekend of seeing women dressed like their favorite character (I saw it in NYC with my friend for her bachelorette celebration--we were not dressed up). It was frightening.

I love the show and loved the movie, but why?? They're already all living happily ever after. Where is there possibly to do with the story?
Samantha goes into menopause?
Mr Big has his first colonoscopy?
Lily's Bat Mitzvah?
???

[ksjohnso]

LOL
