Are you a sex and the city fan? Well have your fun with a middle-aged cast now, because changes are coming. That’s right, a prequel is on the way…
Sex and The City is getting a makeover/reboot as it heads back to the high school days of Carrie Bradshaw and company. Of all the countless movies and Television shows to do this, I’d have to admit that it makes sense here (more so then Superman in Smallville… man I hate that pile of Sh#t).
How do you feel about a little bit of Hot Tub Time Machine with your Sex and The City? Are you keen on sending Carrie Bradshaw and her friends back to their youth… complete with teenage hissy fits, crazy big hair and ’80s culture? Imagine that, we’ll get to see everyone lose their Virginity… Sounds like a plan.
The novel (which the new show will be based) is called “The Carrie Diaries” and it won’t hit stores until the end of April, but you can catch a glimpse of the opening pages in the yesterdays Teen Vogue.
Apparently, many people think it will be instant gold to see the back story of a woman (Carrie) who first appeared fully/overly sexually developed, complete with tutu in the middle of Manhattan.
The author herself isn’t concerned with staying true to the clues of Carrie’s previous life mentioned during the original TV series…
“In just a few paragraphs, we learn that young Miss Bradshaw didn’t have a boyfriend in junior year…Likewise, her dad is pushing her to go to Brown — despite the fact that future Carrie’s string of toxic boyfriends can at least partly be attributed to her father abandoning her as a child.”
Certainly, this series will appeal to 16 year olds and older ladies who are devouring The Twilight Saga. However I am tickled by the opinion of Mary Elizabeth Williams from Broadsheet, she says the following:
“While the HBO series always offered occasional wit and indulgent eye candy, Candace Bushnell herself remains one of the most godawful writers in creation. ‘My heart pounds in my throat; if I open my mouth, I’m afraid it will jump out,’ she writes. ‘I shake my head.’ It’s young adult writing, all right, in the sense that it’s authentically juvenile. And though Reagan-era Carrie is equally ‘obsessed with feminism’ and her white patent leather boots, I couldn’t help but wonder: Why the hell would anybody read about her?”
Haha, true say Williams…true say! You can read the full article by Broadsheet HERE
Also, how do you feel about the show featuring a younger Carrie Bradshaw? I bet they get a super model to play the less then attractive part of Sarah Jessica Parker. I’m a guy and I can honestly say that she plays second fiddle in the looks department to the other ladies on the classic HBO series. Still, I’m glad the show isn’t going forward in time yet, we already know how that turns out…it’s called “The Golden Girls. You can buy it on DVD now! No waiting involved, just geriatric escapades with a near identical cast! By the way, Sarah-Jessica Parker would probably be the one at the center bottom of the photo….Dorthy right? God, why do I even know that…
