The big screen version of Sex And The City is reportedly a step closer to reality.

US OK! magazine claims that early negotiations with the four leads have been successful and the movie looks set to enter production. An industry insider is cited as saying: "Obviously, there is still a lot to be worked out contractually, but it would be amazing to get this project off the ground."

The popular television series, which followed the love lives of four women in New York, starred Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon. The show ran for six seasons and ended in 2004, amidst rumours of behind-the-scenes rivalry amongst cast members.
