Sex
and the City Movie May Be Back On
OK!
magazine reports that HBO
and Sarah Jessica Parker,
Kristin Davis,
Kim Cattrall and
Cynthia Nixon are
in "Substantial talks"
about a movie version of "Sex and the City."
There has been on and off discussion about the film since the series ended
a six-year run in 2004, but at least two of the original stars had committed
themselves to other projects. A studio insider informed OK! that each of
the four actresses is now available for the movie, saying: "Obviously,
there is still a lot to be worked out contractually, but it would be amazing
to get this project off the ground."

this season by Wayne Palmer (D.B.
Woodside), the brother to former President David Palmer.
Lucas
Kills Indy 4
Screenwriter
Frank Darabont
says that the fourth Indiana Jones movie was ready to film two years ago,
until George Lucas didn't like his script. Darabont said: "That
was terrifically frustrating. I worked for over a year on that; I worked
very close with Steven Spielberg.
He was ecstatic with the result and was ready to shoot it two years ago.
He was very, very happy with the script and said it was the best draft
of anything since Raiders
of the Lost Ark. That's really high praise and gave me a real sense
of accomplishment, especially when you love the material you're working
on as much as I love the Indiana Jones films."
Then: "Lucas read it and said, 'Yeah,
I don't think so, I don't like it.' And then
he resets it to zero when Spielberg is ready to shoot it that coming year,
[which] is a real kick to the nuts. You can only waste so much time and
so many years of your life on experiences like that, you can only get so
emotionally invested and have the rug pulled out from under you before
you say enough of that."
