The Pitch: Carrie and her friends are back, but their
playground has switched from the streets of Manhattan to the dunes of Abu Dhabi. 'When I was
writing it, we were in the middle of an economic downturn, and I thought -- where in the world can I escape that for extravagance?' says writer-director Michael Patrick King. Miley Cyrus and Liza Minnelli join the cast.
The Prospects: The first 'Sex and the City' movie, which Mr. King also wrote and directed, grossed more than $400 million world-wide when Warner Bros.' New Line released it two summers ago, in part because women treated the film as an event, going in large groups. New Line is putting a big marketing push behind the movie and releasing it around the same time as the original film.
