Sex and the City, But Which City?

By Randee Dawn

Though it's been heavily rumored that New Line's "Sex and the City" movie will pop up at Cannes, there's at least one person who's not so sure it's a great idea: Sarah Jessica Parker.

The star and producer of the New Line film is concerned that if the movie premiered there, about 1-2 weeks before it opened both around the world and in the U.S, the hush-hush ending could slip out. "That’s a big deal for those women and men who really stuck with us, who don't want to know the ending. It's not life altering. It won't help humankind. But it for those fans who don't want to know things early."

There's been much speculation around the shoot, which has drawn crowds and tabloid reporters scouring for clues on what happens to the fearsome foursome. The production has tried to keep a lid on plot details, even moving shoots indoors and shifting schedules to keep away prying eyes; in fact, the publication of a tie-in book is already being held back until the movie's relese so that it doesn't give away the ending.

The actress went on to say that as much as she really would love to be at the fest, she was "really conflicted" about what an early screening would mean.

Parker does allow that if the film doesn't go to Cannes, there will be multiple premieres in various European cities. And back home, naturally New York will get its own glittering gala. "That," she promises, "would happen either way."
