SATC film premiering in London?

It looks like the highly anticipated Sex And The City film will receive its world premiere in London.

It seems the movie's makers said the film featuring the sassy foursome - Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Charlotte (Kristin Davis), Samantha (Kim Cattrall) and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) - will not debut in New York, as was previously expected. It will apparently open in London's Leicester Square on Monday May 12 - two weeks before it premieres Stateside.

"London will be much smaller. The whole cast isn't even going," a New Line spokesman admitted to the New York Daily News.

The leading ladies will reportedly walk the red carpet, but other characters such as Carrie's on-off boyfriend Mr Big (Chris Noth) and Carrie's assistant (Jennifer Hudson) aren't expected to make the trip.

"It was simply a question of logistics and scheduling. We're still planning the big premiere to be in New York," the spokesman apparently added.

"Everyone knows New York City is the fifth character. The city is the epicentre of all things Sex And The City."

The spokesman apparently revealed that the New York premiere will take place on Tuesday May 27 at Radio City Music Hall, and will be followed by a star-studded party at the Museum of Modern Art, which will benefit Caroline Kennedy's The Fund for Public Schools.
