As you may know from reading some of my blogs, I am eagerly looking forward to the upcoming “Sex and the City” film. The movie set has been pretty closed, with only a few potential spoilers being revealed, such as us seeing Carrie in a wedding dress (Is it a dream? Is it real?).
Now, one of the stars of the movie has let a shocker slip! Cynthia Nixon, who plays lawyer Miranda Hobbs on the show, has said that a main character dies in the upcoming movie. She refused to say who it was, but did say that the death would devastate the main character Carrie. Cynthia was quoted as saying, “A character dies in the movie. There’s a loss that happens that’s pretty tough. Something significant happens to Carrie, and it really forces her to ask questions that you have to ask about yourself.”
So, the big questions is – who could it be? The series left us with potential candidates – Charlotte was longing to become pregnant by husband Harry. Could she die of a complication during birth? What about fun loving Samantha? The series left off with Samantha undergoing chemo for breast cancer. While her death might shock Carrie, it might be amusing to Sarah Jessica Parker as there were rumors that Kim Cattrall (who plays Samantha) was the hold out for the movie’s go ahead. Or, maybe it is Carrie’s love interest Mr. Big that is going to bite the dust. After all, he scared Carrie once before with his open-heart surgery. Even Miranda isn’t safe – remember, her mother had a heart attack – maybe heart disease runs in the family. I suppose it could be another of Carrie’s best friends – openly gay male character Stanford.
One thing is for sure, this little slip made news from New Zealand to Ohio, so this looks like it is a highly anticipated movie all over the world. I suppose I will just have to wait to see Sex and the City: The Movie to know for sure who dies!
