The NEW "Sex & The City" Cast is Revealed

Meet the new cast of the "Sex and the City" prequel. According to the Daily Mail, discussions of a third movie is in the works featuring Hollywood's hottest young talents. The film will be based on The Carrie Diaries and Summer in the City, two novels which were published this year by Candace Bushnell.

Here's a little background of each character in their early years and who will play their role:

[CARRIE]
WHO:
Elizabeth Olsen, 22 - younger sister of twins Ashley and Mary-Kate
BACKGROUND: Originally from the Midwest, a young Miss Bradshaw travels to New York as an aspiring writer - minus the Manolos, the girlfriends and tangled romances
THE LOOK: Already noticed for her individual sense of style, expect the usual combos

[CHARLOTTE]
WHO:
Selena Gomez, 19 - Disney star and girlfriend of Justin Bieber
BACKGROUND: Barely featured in the prequel books although she is sure to appear more frequently in the films, author Candace said of Selena: 'She’d make a really good young Charlotte’
THE LOOK: Good girl, fresh- faced

[SAMANTHA]
WHO:
Blake Lively, 23 - made her name in Gossip Girl
BACKGROUND: Originally in a long-term relationship before going on the rampage, steady Samantha looks after a young Carrie when she first arrives in New York, showing her the ropes
THE LOOK: Think Eighties power dressing, shoulder pads and big hair

[MIRANDA]
WHO:
Emma Roberts, 20 - niece of Julia Roberts, starred in Scream 4
BACKGROUND: Politically minded Miranda meets Carrie while she is protesting outside department store Barneys. The young Miss Bradshaw is on a shopping spree... Cue differences of opinion
THE LOOK: Think lobbyist, student grunge

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times last year, Sarah Jessica Parker said, "I don't think we can pretend to go back... It's creating two histories. It's like, 'Oh I didn't know that about Carrie Bradshaw.''

One fan also agreed, "The prequel would suck. I don't want to see youngsters playing these characters that we've all grown up with. Let the ladies continue their journey filled with surprises."

What's your opinion about SATC 3? Do you think it will be a success or failure?

Sigh.

At this point, they're beating a dead horse.

I'm very skeptical about this new twist on the cast. If anything this film's target market has changed drastically because those of us that grew up with SATC really don't care to see the cast changed. And I'm 25 and not interested lol. Seems like it would be lame. I'd be willing to give it a shot depending on how the trailer turns out.
