BURBANK, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
"Sex and the City 2," the sequel to the 2008 summer blockbuster, has begun
principle photography in-where else?-New York City. Returning in their starring
roles as the four great friends are Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin
Davis and Cynthia Nixon. "It`s a great privilege to be spending time again with
this beloved cast and crew and to be filming in New York City," says Parker. "We
look forward to the next few months of this adventure." 

Of course, where would these women be without their men? Also back for the
much-anticipated sequel are Chris Noth as Mr. Big, David Eigenberg as Steve,
Evan Handler as Harry, Jason Lewis as Smith, Mario Cantone as Anthony and Willie
Garson as Stanford Blatch. 

"Sex and the City 2" also reunites the original creative team from the series
and the first feature. Michael Patrick King is once again directing from his own
screenplay. States King, "We are thrilled to have the luxury to continue to tell
the story of these four iconic women characters: Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and
Samantha. We will do our best to entertain the loyal fans who were so supportive
of the first movie." 

King is also producing with John Melfi, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Darren Star.
The executive producers are Toby Emmerich, Richard Brener and Marcus Viscidi.
Also returning will be director of photography John Thomas, production designer
Jeremy Conway, composer Aaron Zigman and costume designer Patricia Field. 

Set to be released in theaters next Memorial Day weekend, "Sex and the City 2"
is the follow-up to the first film, which pulled in more than $415 million
worldwide. The original film was inspired by the phenomenally popular,
award-winning HBO series based on the writings of Candace Bushnell. 

The majority of filming will take place in and around the city of New York. 

New Line Cinema presents "Sex and the City 2." The film will be distributed
worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
