After years of rumors, false stars, and casting confusion the long awaited Sex and the City Movie is at least really happening. New Line Cinema has announced that their film version of the once popular television show started production today.

The last new episode of Sex in the City aired on February 22, 2004. The show starred Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, and Cynthia Nixon in the story of four female friends making their way through life and love in the city. The series’ frank discussion of sex and romance won it fans with both viewers and critics. All four of the show’s leads will be back for the film, along with other ancillary characters from the show.

To celebrate and to awake their fanbase from its dormancy, they’ve sent out the first ever picture from the Sex and the City movie. Or at least it’s a picture of two of the people in the film.
