SJP will star in 'The Ivy Chronicles' as you all know and imdb.com has already put some details on the movie,including the movie's writer.Her name is Aline Brosh McKenna and she is a BAFTA Award nominated writer(for 'Devil Wears Prada').She is a fantastic writer and her work has been many times successfull.She wrote the scripts for 'The Devil Wears Prada','Laws Of Attraction' and '27 Dresses'.Her latest movies include 'Fame','Date Night' (with Mark Wahlberg,'30 Rock' star Tina Fey,'The Office' star Steve Carrell and the lovely 'Gossip Girl' star Leighton Meester) and 'Morning Glory'(with Harrison Ford,'The Family Stone' stars Diane Keaton and Rachel McAdams and handsome star Patrick Wilson).We hope her script for SJP's movie will be as good and help the movie be more successful,she is a lucky card!

-Three movies that SJP was starring in back in 80's are going to have remakes!You all know about 'Footloose',but another two of her first hits are going to be in production:'Flight Of The Navigator'(1986) and 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun'(1985).'Flight..':The original movie centered on a 12-year-old boy who is abducted by an alien spacecraft.The ship only removed him from Earth for a few hours, but when he returns to his home 8 years has passed and he¢s still only 12. When Nasa discovers the connection between the boy¢s strange situation and a captured UFO, they try to exploit him for the data stored in his brain. The boy escapes with the ship and tries to reunite with his family.'Girls..':The teen comedy-with sametitled famous song of Cindy Lauper- that she starred with Helen Hunt and '90210's star Shannon Doherty. The studio has set Michelle Morgan to write a new version of the film, which centered on two girls who share a passion for dancing and the hit show "Dance TV."
Watch below one of SJP's scenes in 'Flight..' and the trailer of 'Girls..':

SJP after the 'Sex And The City' series ended she returned to her familiar territory,Hollywood movies!She turned her back on ultra-modern fashion roles that were similar to her iconic alter ego Carrie Bradshaw.She played the up-tight bussinesswoman in 'The Family Stone' in which she was nominated for a Golden Globe,and then she starred in the box office hit 'Failure To Launch' where she played the 'dream girl' of Matthew McConaughey.After these films she wanted to do more challenging roles and she had two indepedent movies coming out where we saw her dramatic side,in 'Smart People' and 'Spinning Into Butter'.Now she is filming another challenging role in 'Did You Hear About The Morgans?' where she has to overcame her fears to protect herself from a murderer.Now she is eyeing a part in an elaborate period drama.The Emmy and 4-times Golden Globe winner harbours dreams of starring in a more straight-laced project after 'Sex And The City' sequel.

She says, "I've never really done a period role and I've always thought I'm more suited to them. In my head I live in a different time anyway so I always think I'm not modern.I'd love to do a costume drama. It could be the 16th century, it could be the twenties."

Of course we would love to see SJP in a period drama role,to show to the world her abilities and to get the recognition she deserves.
She is  rumoured to play in a great comedy called 'Family Affair',a remake-comedy 'The Man Who Came To Dinner',a drama'Finn At The Blue Line' and two book adaptations:

1. The Ivy Chronicles' (based on a book by Karen Quinn) where she will portray a New York mom who will start a new life for herself and two girls after she loses her husband, her apartment and her job on Wall Street.
2. And 'Love Walked In' (based on a book by Marisa de los Santos)where she will play a sophisticated thirtysomething woman who bonds with her boyfriend's daughter.

There where also rumours she would play in a musical called 'Slammer' where she would be perfect because she is a professional dancer and sang with Metropolitan Opera.We will have to wait and see..

I just found  some pics of SJP's filming her new movie with Hugh Grant.The filmed this scary scene 3 weeks ago and I think it will be fantastic onscreen!(source:.zougla.gr,instyle.com)

SJP besides producing a new glamourous show called 'Washingtonienne' is also producing a tv-reality competition show called: 'American Artist'.

AMERICAN ARTIST (working title) Golden Globe and Emmy Award winner Sarah Jessica Parker and her production company, Pretty Matches, will team with the Emmy-nominated Magical Elves ("Top Chef," "Project Runway") and Eli Holzman, to produce "American Artist" (wt), an hour long creative competition series among contemporary artists. "American Artist" will bring together twelve aspiring artists to compete for a gallery show, a cash prize and a sponsored national tour. In each episode, contestants will create unique works of art highlighting art's role in everyday life, while they compete and create in a range of disciplines including sculpture, painting, photography and industrial design (to name a few). In working beyond their preferred mediums, artists will have to adapt quickly to changes in order to succeed. Completed works of art will be appraised by a panel of top art world figures including fellow artists, gallerists, collectors, curators and critics. The finalists' work will be showcased in a nation-wide museum tour. "American Artist" is produced by Magical Elves and Pretty Matches for Bravo. Dan Cutforth, Jane Lipsitz, Sarah Jessica Parker, Alison Benson and Eli Holzman serve as executive producers.(weblogs.newsday.com)

Sarah Jessica Parker and Hugh Grant were together in NYC filming Did You Hear About the Morgans? yesterday. She's hard at work on her current movie, but we' still have our eye on her next project. A release date for the Sex and the City sequel was just announced � May 28, 2010. A year still sounds far away, but hopefully we'll get a glimpse of the four fabulous females on set before then.(source:popsugar.com)

SJP after ''Sex And The City'' series ended in 2004 she made a great comeback in movies.Firstly,with her Golden Globe nominated role in the great Christmas comedy ''The Family Stone'' .Secondly with the box-office hit,romantic comedy 'Failure To Launch' where she should once again her comedian charisma and sex appeal.Thirdly she made an independent film called 'Smart People' where she should se has all the potentials to play serious and dramatic parts.Then she made her return as the iconic Carrie Bradshaw in a 'Sex And The City' which was a huge box office hit worldwide.Now SJP is showing as a different side of her,more dramatic and serious than ever before..in 'Spinning Into Butter'.The critically acclaimed Broadway play is transfered to the big screen.Although the movies suffers from bad reviews,SJP has some that regard her,and her work.Here are some reviews on SJ in this movie:

• Ms. Parkerâ��s earnest, workmanlike performance typifies skillful acting that gives the characters as much dimension as the language allows.(The New York Times)
• Deglammed via darkened hair and plainer makeup, Parker makes an appealing protagonist, sparking nicely in her scenes with the affable Williamson.(Variety)

• Good acting triumphs throughout, and in the role of the dean, Sarah Jessica Parker does whatâ��s right for the role. Sheâ��s been de-glammed with mousy brown hair, ugly, off-the-rack dresses and pale makeup that makes her look like a Poor Pitiful Pearl doll, but her strength never falters, even when she folds her tent and walks awayâ��a disappointing surrender for a woman who could do more for her liberal causes if she stayed put and fought for changes from within.(The New York Observer)
• Parker plays Sarah with a subtle gravity. The character, while possessing some of Carrie Bradshaw's sardonic sense of humor, is a wise departure for Parker.(USA Today)
• But Parker, with her sunny smile and assured demeanor, makes a terrific audience surrogate because her ultimate revelations are so at odds with what the viewer expects from her.(Hollywood&Fine)
• Parker's keen sense is the only thing keeping the reprehensible race drama Spinning Into Butter from becoming a riotous laughfest; her ability to portray contradictory traits suggests what the movie could have been if it only followed her cue.(Slaunt Magazine)
• Sara Jessica Parker delivers a top notch performance worthy of a better film.(News Blaze)

Sarah Jessica Parker gets dramatic and some action while continuing to shoot her new film Did You Hear About the Morgans? Tuesday in New York City.It's definetaly an intense scene and that makes us hopeful of a good movie to watch,a possible hit in box office and why not a Golden Globe nomination for this talented superstar!

Thigh high: Sarah Jessica Parker's stunt double does the splits between two balconies

So it came as a surprise to onlookers to see the stylish actress clambering on a high-rise balcony with her underwear on display.In it, her character, Meryl, who has a phobia of heights, has to climb into the next apartment because she is in danger.

Balcony scene: the real SJP before the stunt

On closer inspection, however, it turned out not to be Parker whose pants were on show on the 17th floor, but her stunt double, standing in after closeups of the star's face had been filmed.Parker's co-star, Hugh Grant, was also spotted filming a scene for the romantic comedy, about an estranged couple being put into a witness protection programme. It is a reunion for SJP and Grant, 48 - they starred in 1996 thriller Extreme Measures alongside Hollywood veteran Gene Hackman.(thisislondon.co.uk/dailymail.co.uk/entertainmentwise.com)

Sarah Jessica Parker was back to filming Did You Hear About the Morgans?, this time joined by her costar Hugh Grant last night in NYC.She had previously expressed her excitement about working with Hugh, and the two look like they hit it off immediately.

The 4 times Golden Globe Winner SJP is having a movie coming out(probably this March) while she is preparing for the sequel of 'SATC'.The movie is based on a critically acclaimed Broadway play and I'm sure you all know which film I'm taking about..It's 'Spinning Into Butter',the movie SJP filmed 3 years ago but now finally find it's way to theaters.It was nominated in Montreal World Film Festival for 'Grand Prix des Amériques' in 2007.Now we hope it has a better luck and critics to love the movie.You can see new pictures and a brand new trailer to the site of the movie that may open doors to dramatic films for SJP..http://www.screenmediafilms.net/spinning/ or www.spinningintobutter.com

The first review of the film was by Variety and here what the magazine had to say about SJP's performance:''Deglammed via darkened hair and plainer makeup, Parker makes an appealing protagonist, sparking nicely in her scenes with the affable Williamson.''

Gold Derby got a sneak peek at the reminder list sent to voters of the Golden Globes(the nominations will be announced on Dec 11),which reflects the final category-placement decisions made by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's eligibility committee.

''My fingers will fall off if I try to type all of the movie titles entered, so, to keep things simple, here are the pix competing in the musical/comedy categories. If you don't see a movie listed here, that means it's in drama � or wasn't entered for competition: "27 Dresses," "Baby Mama," "Be Kind, Rewind," "Bedtime Stories," "Beverly Hills Chihuahua," "Bottle Shock," "The Brothers Bloom," "Burn After Reading," "Cadillac Records," "Charlie Bartlett," "Choke," "Definitely Maybe," "Disaster Movie," "Drillbit Taylor," "Extra Ordinary Barry," "Fool's Gold," "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," "Four Christmases," "Get Smart," "Ghost Town," "Hamlet 2," "Happy-Go-Lucky," "High School Musical 3," "House Bunny," "In Bruges," "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," "Kit Kittredge: An American Girl," "Last Chance Harvey," "Leatherheads," "Longshots," "The Love Guru," "Mad Money," "Maid of Honor," Mamma Mia!," "Marley and Me," "Married Life," "Meet Dave," "Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day," "My Best Friend's Girl," "Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist," "Nim's Island," "Noble Son," "Nothing Like the Holidays," "Over Her Dead Body," "Pineapple Express," "A Previous Engagement," "The Promotion," "Repo!

''

Is it possible to see SJP and SATC among the nominees?I think it is coz the 8-time award nominated actress(and winner of the 4) was nominated in this year's Teen Choice Awards and National Movie Awards(the movie was also nominated).The biggest threat is Meryl Streep and her movie 'Mamma Mia!' but if she will be nominated for 'Doubt' too,it's impossible to win over SJ who was stunning in SATC.As for 'Smart People' we are not so sure and 'Marley&Me' isn't out yet to have an opinion..we will have to wait and see..

-Filmexperience created a list of the actresses that they will probably star in many awards shows..and SJP is mentioned 4th(http://filmexperience.blogspot.com/2008/12/actress-psychic-point-distribution-at.html)/Awardscircuit.com's predictions for Golden Globes put SATC in the top 10 possible nominees for Best Comedy and SJP in the top 5 for best actress in comedy.Also in the top 5 for best original song not only in Golden Globes but in Oscars too..

-E!Online(UK) made a list of the year's great flicks and SATC is in second place!!''Carrie Bradshaw and pals turned fashion and friendship into a stylish girl-powered pop-culture event.''(http://uk.eonline.com/sponsor/replay2008/index.jsp#/top10/great_flicks)

Screen Media Films has picked up Sarah Jessica Parker’s drama Spinning Into Butter for North American distribution. Parker produced and stars in the film, playing a liberal New England college dean forced to confront hidden prejudices and political correctness when one of her black students receives anonymous racist letters..The film was delayed due to financial issues, but in the long run, it might help at the box office.“Butter” will be the first feature to premiere after Parker’s $390 million “Sex and the City” success.

“She’s in every frame of the film, but it shows her in a real and very different light,” said Screen Media president Robert Baruc. “The story forces viewers to truly examine their own opinions and feelings about race.”Parker will help with publicity for the film and has tentative plans to premiere it in Washington. Screen Media has also partnered with the Creative Coalition group, and hope to set up panels with politicians discussing issues raised in the film.. ''Deglammed via darkened hair and plainer makeup, Parker makes an appealing protagonist, sparking nicely in her scenes with the affable Williamson.''Variety wrote.Screen Media will launch "Butter" with a first-quarter 2009 theatrical release in New York, Los Angeles and five other U.S. cities.

Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker are reportedly in negotiations to star in a romantic comedy for Columbia Pictures.The duo have played together in the past,in the drama 'Extreme Measures'.According to Variety, the untitled project comes from writer-director Marc Lawrence, who previously worked with Grant on "Music and Lyrics" and "Two Weeks Notice."The trade paper says Lawrence's script focuses on an estranged New York couple who have to relocate to Wyoming after they witness a murder and enter the witness protection program. The project was originally titled "Buffalo Faith," but that may no longer be the case.

Columbia, which picked up the project in turnaround from Castle Rock Entertainment, is hoping for a March production start date.

-Hello(Gr) reports that SJP will start filming a new movie this autumn in which she maybe  reunites with her 'Failure To Launch' co-star Matthew McConaughey and Hayden Panettiere.This is just a rumour that we really hope t's true,right?we will have to wait and see..

In addition to the new David Simon show set in New Orleans, HBO has ordered another high-profile pilot called The Washingtonienne,which is based on Jessica Cutler's book of the same name about a party girl who takes on Capitol Hill(a halh-hour comedy where we explore the adventures of a party girl as an anonymous blogger who took money from politically-powerful men for sex including, famously, for lots of  sex) ,and it counts Sarah Jessica Parker among its producers.So we hope they love the pilot and  give it the green light because SJP is included and who knows maybe in an episode she could guest star..(buzzsugar.com)

Well it's time for SJ to start thinking about her post-Sex life.The stunning actress is in talks to star in The Ivy Chronicles, a dramedy about a single gal making her way in New York.Parker will play newly divorced mom Ivy Ames, who loses her high-powered job and has to give up her uptown digs for an apartment more suitable.Eventually, she totally rocks her new life in ways meant to both dazzle and inspire the largely female audience this film will be seeking.If the deal goes forward, this would most likely mark Parker's return to the big screen after the massive success she had with the still-playing cinematic version Sex and the City.

-According to the Hollywood Reporter, the 4-times Golden Globe winner had signed on to the romantic comedy The Late Bloomer's Revolution for New Line Cinema and HBO Films' Picturehouse, but now that New Line has folded into Warner Bros., the future of the project is uncertain.(http://uk.eonline.com)

-!!!!!!HBO has confirmed that a sequel to the Sex and the City movie is in the early stages of development.!!!!!!

-Chris Ashworth is rumoured to play in 'The Ivy Chronicles'

-Warner Bros. has attached Aline Brosh McKenna, the writer of 'The Devil Wears Prada'&'27 Dresses', to pen the script for the Sarah Jessica Parker dramedy The Ivy Chronicles.The plot centers on an upper-middle-class New York mother is forced to start over after getting divorced and losing her high-powered job in one fell swoop..The film is based on a novel by Karen Quinn.

Here are the some great reviews for 'Smat People'

-Sarah Jessica Parker in the first good thing she’s done since leaving Sex and the City..The cast is every bit as brilliant as their characters are smart, and they carry the movie from beginning to end. Smart People feels real and it’s sweet. It’s occasionally funny and frequently touching. It’s missing some of the real highs and lows you’d expect in a film like this, but nearly makes up for it by simply being consistently well thought out. Smart People isn’t only the movie’s title, or even a definition of its characters, it’s also a pretty good description of its target audience. It starts with those lame, smart people stereotypes I mentioned at the outset, and then tosses them overboard as the characters within Mark Poirier’s script become developed through well thought out dialogue and intelligent interaction...the movie goes beyond the usual comedic quips and quirks and delivers something with heart, at least for an audience with any smarts.
(http://www.cinemablend.com/)

-Dennis Quaid, Sarah Jessica Parker, Ellen Page and Thomas Haden Church co-star in the warm and witty "Smart People," a movie that never underestimates the intelligence of its audience. A clever script and solid performances make this a better movie than it should be. It's all about personalities and how they interact. There are no gun fights, no car chases; just a story about people growing up and becoming better.The script is smart and funny, and the characters are human and warm. This is one of the rare movies of late that actually develops the characters and lets the audience feel as though they know and understand them..Parker is adorable as the easy to love Dr. Hartigan. She and Quaid make a good match on screen.."Smart People" is an out of the ordinary movie that works because of its sensible and surprising script as well as its perfectly cast actors.If you want to see a film that will make you think and will also steal your heart, then "Smart People" is it. It might even raise your IQ.I scored "Smart People" a Mensa 7 out of 10.(http://www.rottentomatoes.com)

-Smart People came out of this year’s Sundance Film Festival, and it definitely has that offbeat indie vibe that some people love and others hate. (For the record, I’m in the “love it” category.) There’s really very little plot to speak of. Instead, the movie is more like a slice-of-life character study, where you watch all these smart-yet-clueless individuals bouncing off one another in misguided attempts to, pardon the expression, figure their shit out..Parker and Church also do a nice job showing how Chuck and Janet, respectively, try to reconcile their brains with the neuroses that seem to constantly throw them off track..Maybe some viewers will be turned off by watching educated, successful characters fumble blindly through interpersonal situations. I found it fascinating. Smart People has its finger on an idea that has become an adage: some folks are book-smart but life-dumb. By the end, I realized that I was rooting for Lawrence and Janet and Chuck and Vanessa to become a little less life-dumb. After all, book learning is great, but it’s the life stuff that ultimately determines real happiness(http://www.geocities.com)

-The high-class ensemble and, yes, smart script liven up this an enjoyable, good-natured comedy set mostly on a college campus..Parker is great as the woman who doesn't want to commit.
The director and the rest of the crew beautifully capture the physical surroundings of academia and those who work within it.This is a wise choice for movie goers(http://www.rottentomatoes.com)

-With a title like "Smart People," a movie should be, at a minimum, reasonably bright. This one is unreasonably bright; it passes the IQ test with flying colors. And intelligence plus genuine wit aren't its only distinctions (as if they were in such plentiful supply these days that we could dismiss them). The people in question are also wounded, angry, yearning for love, emotionally stupid and wonderfully affecting."Smart People" is a comedy about people needing all their smarts, and then some, to escape from the holding pens of their own heads..Sarah Jessica Parker's physician, Janet -- another lovely, rueful performance --.."Smart People" made me happy from start to finish.(http://online.wsj.com)

-Smart indeed.Noam Murro's debut feature is a sharp, superbly acted character-driven comedic drama about book-learned but heart-stupid people fumbling their way through two of life's most treacherous minefields: adolescence and middle-age.It surprising how few movies takes place in the rarefied world of the Academy until one realizes that setting a movie on a college campus means that someone has to come up with intelligent dialogue that could actually pass for intellectual conversation. Novelist-turned-screenwriter Mark Poirier (Goats, Modern Ranch Living) is certainly up to the task, but beyond quipping about the Victorians and quoting William Carlos Williams, his script's real wisdom lies in its understanding of how the human heart interacts with the head, and not always with the best results. Quaid's great, Page and Church are even better and Parker proves there's life beyond Sex and the City.(http://www.tvguide.com)

-Noam Murro's "Smart People," written by novelist Mark Jude Poirier, is enjoyable for its words, and for the way its smart actors toss those words out like flying daggers.."Smart People" feels slow in spots, and its perfunctory set decoration doesn't help us connect to the characters: Janet, for example, lives in an utterly personality-free apartment. She's the least developed character in the movie; did Murro intend for her to be so blank? There's little Parker can do with the character, other than her usual sparkly charm. But she's a welcome beam of light in the dark Wetherhold family, and the movie's final moments (including a sweet final credit sequence of photographs of what-came-after) are a lovely illustration of how love can change us.Janet, like everyone else in the movie, is a smart person; and this ultimately likable film is pretty smart as well.(http://seattletimes.nwsource.com)

-“Smart People” is “My Fair Lady” without the classic songs and with a key role reversal: Here, the pompous professor needs the makeover..As Hartigan, Sarah Jessica Parker is suitably low key; at times, we see her shrink from this wounded and wounding man. But we never see why an attractive and neurosis-free doctor would set her stethoscope for this guy..(http://www.signonsandiego.com)

Cinematical has just received this exclusive final poster for the film Smart People which first premiered at the Sundance Film Festival back in January where Cinematical critic James Rocchi  called it:"so well-made, so well-acted and so impressively (for lack of a better word) smart that anyone who seeks it out will find something to admire and enjoy in its craft and heart."(source:cinematical.com)

According to a report SJP is set to tread the boards in New York - as an Italian air hostess. The 42-year-old will take on the role of a flight attendant in the Broadway version of hit comedy Boeing Boeing, which is currently running in London. Parker will appear in the play at New York's Longacre Theatre from April - and insists she is still determined to explore a variety of roles because she doesn't want to become typecast. She says, "Everything I've done since Sex And The City ended on TV has been completely different."

-But in perezhilton.com site we read that a rep for the play denies the report currently circulation and says that Sarah Jessica is not involved with Boeing.

-When asked about "Spinning Into Butter," her unreleased movie, Parker told Page Six, "One enters these endeavors with the best of intentions, but sometimes they don't work out." The movie, shot at Brooklyn College and Drew University in Madison, NJ, was supposed to come out last year. But the producers couldn't find a distributor. "It's in that purgatory that many movies find themselves," she said.(source:nypost.com)

 Sarah Jessica Parker's Pretty Matches production company is working with Magical Elves on a new art-world competition show, similar to the Elves-produced Bravo hit Project Runway. The new show would feature a dozen aspiring artists competing against one another in various art challenges, from painting and photography to sculpting and industrial design. Parker will stay behind the scenes as the show's executive producer, though Elves' Dan Cutforth says she could pop up on camera if it makes sense creatively. Parker once appeared as a guest judge on Runway. (Variety & ew.com)

Variety reports that Parker will star in The Late Bloomer's Revolution. Based on Amy Cohen's memoir of the same name, the film will follow a "single woman who, after the death of her mother, develops a bond with her father as they both try to get on with their lives in the dating world." It's a character that in the book was described as having a "much deeper masochistic streak than Sex and the City, even if she copes with setbacks like a virulent face rash with as much self-deprecating humor as she can muster."

The HBO movie has signed on Sarah Jessica Parker for lead in the film. Sarah Jessica Parker will also produce the film with her Pretty Matches partner Alison Benson.Revolution will be the feature directorial debut of Amy Sherman-Palladinocreator of The Gilmore Girls and executive producer of the upcoming Parker Posey comedy series,The Return of Jezebel James.

Sherman-Palladino says""Character stuff is what I do best, and there is an interesting lady at the center of this who explores a relationship with her father, who’d always been the silent guy in the corner watching TV when her mom was around..The humor is key here, and Sarah Jessica is a great comedienne."

SJP seems to be firmly entrenched in the romantic comedy camp, and has also been attached to A Family Affair about a woman who accidentally has an affair with her future father in law.{source:cinematical.com]

'Spinning into Butter' will be among the 20 titles contending for top honors(competing for the Grand Prize) at the Montreal World Film Festival which will run Aug. 23-Sept. 3.

These are some reviews:
* ''Controversial films are always perfect for the festival circuit, and this one is likely to generate some discussion. The film stars Sarah Jessica Parker in her most thought-provoking portrayal since her tryst with Mr. Big.''{martiniboys.com review}
*''Sarah Jessica Parker gives a stunning performance in a powerful adaptation of Rebecca Gilman�s controversial play, hailed by Time Magazine as one of the year�s best.''{cinemavault review/in this site you can see the trailer of the movie}
*''Deglammed via darkened hair and plainer makeup, Parker makes an appealing protagonist, sparking nicely in her scenes with the affable Williamson. Supporting perfs are well-judged, though Richardson and Bridges have limned similar bitchy/hypocritical characters all too many times before.Tech and design contribs are conventional but pro.''{variety review}

-This is an interview by SJP's co-star Mykelti Williamson in mytelus.com

"When I found this little film, I said, 'Hmm this is an opportunity for all of us to admit that we negotiate with that devil every single day.'?" the actor said Thursday after the screening of his new movie "Spinning Into Butter" at the Montreal World Film Festival.""This was the first project that I'd seen where everyone was exposed and now it gives us an opportunity to say, "Aha, we all have this in common. Let's get past this, let's get over this." Williamson said.

"Spinning Into Butter" came about at the impetus of Parker, who saw the play it is based on and was instantly grabbed, said executive producer Roger Howe."She fell in love with the play and she fell in love with the story," he said at a news conference at the film festival. "It certainly was a passion of hers to do this project."

--Some screencaps of the movie in which SJP gives her best she can to prove she is a serious Actress with a capital A,capable to win big awards,to be different in each character from looks to the soul and Nancy&Me think she achieves that and many more...

Synopsis:

A sophisticated thirtysomething woman finds the man of her dreams. One day, the man's eleven year-old daughter, whom he hasn't seen since she was two, shows up at his door and develops a relationship with the woman.

SJP will be the star and the producer.Mat Damon or Matthew Fox will be the man of her dreams

''th rights sold in at least eight countries, and, indeed, to Paramount-Sarah Jessica Parker will star and coproduce with Sideways's Michael London. The book is fine, but for this property, it's a case of waiting for Carrie to walk in'' &

Poet de los Santos's debut is a light, sweet read with just a bit of substance underneath. Sarah Jessica Parker is slated to star and coproduce the film version with Sideways producer Michael London, and it seems like a good match. This may be one of those books that will be even better on the big screen. Recommended.Beth Gibbs, Davidson
