“I will never be the woman with the perfect hair, who can wear white and not spill on it.”

So girls, it is time to grab your Jimmy Choo's out of the walk in wardrobe and grab your best girlfriends round for some cosmopolitans. Yep, that's right! The Sex and the City franchise is once again coming back to a screen near you, not just on TV (they are looking for a new outlet to be able to launch the series) but they are also planning on making a Prequel of the girls during their teenage days.

Candace Bushnell, who wrote the books that the series was based off of, has apparently stated that there are some people that she thinks would be ideal for certain roles within the film. “You know, I don’t know… casting is like kismet. I’m going to get into trouble for this, but I was looking at some pictures of Selena Gomez today and thinking she’d make a really good young Charlotte. She’s so pretty. I was like… gosh, wouldn’t she be great?” she recently stated.

Other people who are speculated to take the part of the loveable characters alongside Selena Gomez are Blake Lively as Samantha Jones, Emma Roberts (neice of Julia Roberts) as Miranda Hobbes and Elizabeth Olsen as Carrie Bradshaw, although this is yet to be confirmed. Now, after searching through the web I have found some information about some of the characters for anyone who is interested.  

the girls rumoured to be playing the characters
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.

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
resemblance here is uncanny?
MIRANDA 
WHO: Emma Roberts, 20 - niece of Julia, 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

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



Although, this prequel idea is something fresh and new for the series, which after nearly two decades of books and around 94 TV episodes, is still running very strong, many fans are not happy with this development...

What do you think fellow bloggers?
