 “Every romantic comedy that’s ever sort of been in the world right now is about a wedding, so I thought, Carrie Bradshaw is a really complicated, untraditional character, whenever a story of it being a possible wedding for her has got to be complicated, so that started,” he explains, “Then I started thinking, where would these women be now, like when we did the series. We married Charlotte. Why? Because Charlotte would get married, no matter what.” “She was in the right moment in her life, so I just tried to follow what I saw in life, so I thought, Charlotte adopted a baby, so now she has Lily,” Michael continues, “Miranda, working, in her exile in Brooklyn. You know, some twentysomething girls saw the movie and asked me, why is she complaining about Brooklyn? And I was like, because that’s your New York. That’s your reality. Her, she came when Brooklyn was like, ‘I’m in Brooklyn! It’s an exile.’ I always loved the idea that Carrie and Big start incredibly happy in an undefined relationship. It’s undefined, by society’s standards.” Michael also had little concern about the potential problem of getting non-fans familiar with the existing story in the new series. He claims he managed to overcome this hurdle with his opening sequence, which enabled him to creatively incorporate some of the best moments of the TV series. “Here’s the interesting thing about the opening sequence,” King says, “It’s not in my first cut of the movie. Everything that was fullscreen was and when I saw it, I thought, not fancy enough. It’s not fancy enough. I don’t feel enough references to what was there and I also was concerned that people who had never seen the series would be missing impact, the impact of story points. And you know, where it came to me, was that Lily didn’t get introduced in the movie and that was very important, she’s Charlotte’s adopted daughter. So I thought, I had to get her in.” “So when it came to the idea that Carrie’s books open up, that her past is a book and it comes to life, I just thought, OK, what are the significant moments that people have repeated the most from these characters,” he adds, “The first one was Charlotte saying, ‘I’ve been dating since I was 15, I’m exhausted!’ which I wrote. And another one which sprung to mind was Samantha at the moment of ‘funky spunk’. So I’m going to put ‘funky spunk’ in it and get a laugh right up front anyway. And it was just a matter of trolling through and finding archetypical moments. In the Carrie moment, it’s very subtle, but in one of those computer shots, there’s smoke, because she smoked at that point in the series. If you know the series, there’s a lot of great little powerpoints for you, but it was an interesting journey to ... |
