Sex and the City - The Movie:

At the time of the Oprah episode, it had been 4 years, 2 months, 8 days and 18 hours since the end of the series, Sex and the City. Fans of Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte have all been anxiously awaiting the movie version which is finally ready to open in theatres May 30, 2008.

Sarah Jessica Parker was the first to enter the stage and was thrilled to share a clip of the Oprah audience getting the first screening of the film the night before. Sarah Jessica made everyone promise to keep the details a secret - even going as far as to not show the last 20 minutes of the movie.

Sarah Jessica described that 2 years ago she and writer/director Michael Patrick King revisited the idea of doing a Sex and the City movie, and both felt the time was right. The film made both extremely proud, and Sarah Jessica really felt like the film was done for the fans of the show.

Sex and the City - Filming:

After all 4 actresses were on stage, they described the process of filming Sex and the City: The Movie. The film took 4 months in New York to create with hundreds of fans lining the street to watch production. The actors had tons of fun in their familiar roles and were amazed at the number of people who came to see them tape. Since the series is now in syndication, it was as if they never went off the air, gaining new fans each year. Even though the fans slowed production down, the cast was happy that people still cared to see and even found ways to disguise the plot and dialogue.

Sex and the City - Cynthia Nixon:

Cynthia Nixon shared that she had survived breast cancer which she found she had through a routine mammogram. After being sent to a surgeon and receiving radiation but not chemotherapy, Cynthia says she is doing fine.

Not avoiding the question, Oprah asked Cynthia if she was surprised when she fell in love with a woman, to which she responded that it was something that happened without struggle - she met her girlfriend and fell in lover with her, regardless of gender. Cynthia shared that all of her Sex cast mates were great with the press, support and just wanting her to be happy.

Sex and the City - Kim Catrell:

Kim Catrell updated fans of her life after Sex and the City which includes a relationship with a much younger man. Kim shared with Oprah that she is limitless when it comes to age, even though she did make it an issue when she began dating a man 23 years younger than herself. Dating a professional chef, tabloids suggest that Kim and her boyfriend cook in the nude, while she denies it, Kim also shared that she was given an apron while in the grocery store, just in case.

Sex and the City - Kristin Davis:

Kristin Davis shared that she is really enjoying her life since turning 40 - calling her 20s miserable and her 30s ok, Kristin stated that the 40s are a time to breathe. When the series ended, Kristin turned 40 and questioned what she wanted to do from there, realizing she wanted to grow down and become more grounded.

Sex and the City - Mr. Big Chris Noth:

Oprah welcomed Chris Noth to the stage, who played Mr. Big on Sex and the City. Chris described his experience filming the movie as beautiful, special and fun, with a sense of play. Chris described that while he put parts of himself into his character, he is still different from Big, being more self-edited and even goofy. Chris shared that being a new dad had been great and at 53 he is really enjoying his first child, Orion.

Sex and the City - Wardrobe:

Many fans love Sex and the City for the fashion - and the movie does not disappoint. With over 300 wardrobe changes for the 4 leading ladies, the amount of bags, shoes, belts, gloves and racks of outfits were huge compared to other films - items were even taken right off the runway to appear in the film.

Sex and the City: The Movie - Michael Patrick King:

Writer/director Michael Patrick King appeared via Skype as he was putting the final edits on the film. Michael shared that he felt the pressure from the fans and wanted everyone who loved the series to be happy with the final story. The film hits theatres May 30, 2008.
