SARAH JESSICA PARKER IN
'ALL ROADS LEAD TO ROME' ROMANTIC COMEDY
Here's a piece of info I didn't have time to publish over the weekend: according to 'Deadline' Sarah Jessica Parker will take the lead role in romantic comedy ALL ROADS LEAD TO ROME! Swedish directress :) Ella Lemhagen will helm the movie which is to be shot entirely in Italy. Sarah Jessica Parker will play Maggie, an uptight American woman on a road trip throughout Italy with her Italian former lover Luca who is helping her find Maggie’s rebellious teenage daughter. You've probably heard by now that SEX AND THE CITY might also get its third part in the future and Sarah might again play Carrie Bradshaw, one of the most self observed of the TV characters ever.

Am a sucker for romantic comedies, and Parker's a natural to play them.
ReplyDeleteAgreed on the first thing, not so much on the second LOL
DeleteSt Patrick's life story would indeed make a good miniseries, if it's done right.
ReplyDeleteNo way it can be done right. And most likely they'll add a romantic interest for St. Patrick that is played by that bitch Sarah Jessica Parker.
Deletenow that is a pukeworthy scenario, dahlink :)
DeleteHonestly they must be scraping the bottom of the proverbial barrel to be doing a series on St. Patrick. It's dull as dishwater and I dread seeing how they're going to fill that story out.
DeleteWe shall wait and see!
DeleteA movie about St. Patrick? Fecketty, feck, feck, fecketty, feck, feck-NO.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to decide if the news of that or the news of that dog faced bitch Sarah Jessica Parker being on film again is worse.
Sorry, mini-series about St. Patrick, not movie. My response is still the same NO, NO , NO.
Deletedahlink, on the bright side, at least Americans will be able to connect Patrick with an action hero instead of connecting him with beer and getting drunk.....
DeleteHey Dez. I know plenty of Irish Americans that drink that weekend as well. It's not limited to the Irish-free, where we live.
DeleteThe critical word there being American after the word Irish. They don't count, they're just Americans. Full stop.
Deleteyep, what Annzie said!
DeleteSarah's tits have to be fakes. Unless she's found an awesome wonderbra.
ReplyDelete'tis the corset she wears :)
DeleteI would welcome Sarah JP as Joan of Arc.., burn the witch!
ReplyDeleteUh-oh, I love pirates... so St. Pat might be good for the first episode or two.
Impastor? Sounds like a milky by-product. Hmm, at least it's not about religious ducks.
LOL no love for Sarah today it seems :)
DeleteOh I love Michael Rosenbaum. I'll check that one out.
ReplyDeletewe do love him!
DeleteAn uptight American woman... What else is new, Jessica? I liked Sex in the City 1, hated 2... Will I like 3?
ReplyDeletewhat? You didn't like them in Dubai? Most people didn't understand the point of the second one - director wanted to make a glitzy glamorous movie with visual splendour that old Hollywood movies had, that is why it was mostly about stunning visuals and flamboyant costumes
DeleteNope... didn't like the story. There was no pain... no broken heart.
Deletewasn't it painful enough to watch Sarah's face for two hours? :)
DeleteHaha! Dezzy, you are naughty!
DeleteI'm just going with the flow today
DeleteHaaaaa
DeleteMaybe it will show him driving the snakes out of Ireland. Oh wait, never happened.
ReplyDeletecould be one of the plot twists
DeleteI think the Sex and the City thing has kind of run its course. Haven't they figured it out yet? It was a great idea for its time but they should leave it there!
ReplyDeleteSarah says there's an untold chapter.... possibly her getting pregnant with Big?
DeleteI am with Blue here. I did love Sex and the City when it was on tv. Carrie Bradshaw was a real witch though, and I never understood the appeal to have her as the main character. Whiny, self obsessed, stick up her rear woman. But I still enjoyed the friendship bond and naughty humor it portrayed. The first movie was good. Should have left it there. The second one sucked, and I am not looking forward to the 3rd one. Though my stupid curiosity will get the best of me, and if they make it, I will watch it.
ReplyDeleteyep, it was one of the greatest shows ever, but I also have never understood why would most women choose her for their role model when she is everything men hate!
DeleteNothing like some saintly Irish shenanigans!
ReplyDeleteyou said it, Fran!
