Sex and the City Sequel Talk
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: New Line, Warner Bros, Adaptation, Drama, Romance, Sequels, Comedy, Rumors,
I think you could probably file this under the “No Duh” category. During the Television Critics Association press tour yesterday, HBO’s programming head told everyone what they already knew: There’s talk about a Sex and the City sequel out there.
According to Michael Lombardo, “There’s enormous interest by Warner Bros. and New Line, and we’re trying to put that together now. Everyone associated with the project was liberated by the enthusiasm of the fans.”
But fans should, of course, not anticipate forming another group outing anytime soon. There’s still quite a few matters that need to be settled first - like a script, signed contracts…and how about possibly a reason? Is there a point where we should just let these girls walk off in their stilettos quietly? What could possibly happen to Carrie and Big next time? Will he decide that he likes Napa better than New York City?

- 30 discs (including two bonus DVDs)
- Three soundtrack CDs
- 16 deleted scenes
- An interview with David Chase (conducted by actor Alec Baldwin)
- Two “Supper with the Sopranos” features in which cast members discuss their favorite scenes
The complete set will be available on November 11.

Kim Cattrall Gets Own HBO Series
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Cable, HBO, News,
It seems eager fans were not the only ones who benefited from this weekend’s release of Sex and the City. One of the movie’s stars also received a nice bonus for it too.
As part of her agreement deal with HBO, Kim Cattrall will soon be getting her own series on the pay channel. Interestingly enough, her project comes with two themes her followers are quite familiar with: New York and sex.
In Sensitive Skin, Kim will play a wife and mother who tries to rediscover her sexuality and her place in the world. The show, which is an adaptation of a British series by the same name, will also have Cattrall on board as an executive producer.
This isn’t the first time the actress has done a side project for HBO. In 2005, she hosted a documentary called Kim Cattrall: Sexual Intelligence. I guess you gotta stick to what you know - right?

Don’t Count Out Recount
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Cable, HBO, Gossip,
From the first trailer, I was intrigued. In the next moment, I was checking the upcoming TV schedule to be 100% sure my DVR would capture the movie at the first possible opportunity. And I’ve got to tell you, I just can’t wait to watch HBO’s Recount.
I had the dubious pleasure of living through the 2000 presidential election - and all the many, many television hours this momentous and highly historical race entailed. Every four years in November, we as a nation go forth to various polling locations to exercise our Constitution-given Democratic freedoms. But on the evening of November 7, 2000 most people went to sleep without knowing just who the hell the President of the United States would be. But eventually, the decision was made…and so was history. The eight years that followed were rife with events which could keep Hollywood script writers busy for the whole of the century. It was a defining moment, it was the catalyst which undoubtedly led to two earth-shattering wars, and it is still something which (at least, for me) remains shrouded in mystery.
No longer will this remain the case…perhaps. The HBO film Recount will take us back to the past, but what sort of picture will this flick paint?

HBO Fills Fall Schedule
As if I didn’t have enough TV to watch during the fall season…
Earlier today, I was informed that two of my reasons to love the summer have sadly been taken away from me. Thanks to the writers’ strike, several HBO programs normally enjoyed during the off-months will now have to fight for space on my Tivo much later this year.
Shows affected by the production delay include Big Love, Entourage, Flight of the Conchords and new drama True Blood.
I’m not sure what to do with myself. I guess I might actually have to take a vacation now.

The $24,000 Sex and the City Tour
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories:
If a simple bus tour wouldn’t be enough to quench your thirst for anything and everything Sex and the City, you can now do one better. For only $24,000, you can now live like the girls of the popular HBO show.
To celebrate the May 30th big screen debut, a company called Destination on Location will offer bored souls a way to experience someone else’s life.
For five nights, die-hard fans will travel to some of the characters’ favorite haunts. They will also receive products those four women frequently enjoyed. Stops will include a trip a trip to the SoHo House (remember when Samantha tried to get access to the exclusive club’s rooftop pool?), a shopping spree and cocktail party at Jimmy Choo, brunch at the same cafeteria the chatty ladies loved to dine in and access to the movie’s premiere on May 27th. (I’m assuming bucketloads of cosmopolitans will be served somewhere along this route.)

Free Download From HBO/Amazon
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Home Entertainment, Hot Deals, Internet,
That’s right. You can get the first 15 episodes of HBO’s “In Treatment” starring Gabriel Byrne at no charge. We assume that the freebies are being used to attract a larger fan base. Whatever the reason, free is free. You need a TiVo Series 2 or 3 or Amazon’s Unbox Video Player. The Amazon download process is simple but will only work with Windows XP SP2/Vista. The show is also available through iTunes and HBO’s site.
