Sex Director Speaks on Rumored Death in the City
Sex and the City courtesy HBO
With the
Sex and the City movie nearing its release day, rumors have been flying about whether there will be a death in the city - and in particular, the death of Mr. Big (
Chris Noth).
Director
Michael Patrick King, however, laid that buzz to rest, more or less. "Kill Mr. Big? I would have been chased around the planet by women with torches," he joked to the
AP. Yet, King did confide that he was looking to infuse some layers of melodrama into this film adaptation of the show - but perhaps not as much as a darker drama would call for.
"My ultimate target," King said, "was to make our 'girlfriends' - in other words, our audience - happy. And I don't think Mr. Big dying would make them happy."
When pressed on the possibility of potential other deaths (Carrie gets hit by a cab after tripping in her Chloe gladiators? Charlotte suffocates in the steam room?), however, King denied the possibility. "It's a summer movie," he said. "Why would I want to kill anyone?" Do you buy King's denials?
