Sarah Jessica Parker is back together with NY

It’s no surprise anymore that the big screen version of Sex and the City has had huge success and also cashed in some big bucks -so far raked in more than $300 million. Sarah Jessica Parker was inspired when she made this choice and now she has just started. Another role of single urban professional has caught the actresses attention.

The star, 43, is in discussions with Warner Bros. about a screen version of novelist Karen Quinn’s The Ivy Chronicles, described by the Hollywood Reporter as an up-to-date take about class and the single woman in Manhattan. The difference is that the character Ivy Ames isn’t that fond of the city and moves out of the Upper East Side after the double whammy of a job loss and a divorce. This could have never happened with Carrie Bradshaw.

She has to withdraw her children from their expensive private school, though they also provide her with a eureka moment: Ames starts a service to help women land their kids in upper-crust kindergartens.

The trade paper likens The Ivy Chronicles to The Devil Wears Prada meets The Nanny Diaries, with a dash of the TV mini-series The Starter Wife thrown in.  So this should be a complex and interesting movie to see. Anyway, it will be very difficult to get SJ Parker out of Carrie Bradshaw’a shoes…
