- Though we’ve already read the eulogy for SATC, Hollywood executives have decided to revive the franchise with a film based on Candace Bushnell’s prequel book The Carrie Diaries. And if you believe some anonymous insider, Michael Patrick King wants Blake Lively to play Carrie Bradshaw. “There are no plans to bring SJP and the other girls back together in the old format,” says the source. “The prequel is about breathing new life into the story and exploring Carrie’s first few months in NYC and the beginning of her relationship with an older man.” If Star Wars: Episodes I-III have taught us anything, it’s that prequels are always an awesome idea! Now that Blake has been cast, it’s time to start looking for someone to play the culturally insensitive Jar Jar Binks character. [Grazia]
