Kristin Davis defends tonight's Sex and the City premiere in London
Tonight is the London premiere of the Sex and the City movie! We can't believe it's come so soon, and some New Yorkers can't believe it's coming so far. So far from Manhattan, that is.
"Everyone is upset about it and I just don't understand why. You know, it's the first premiere, and you can say the world premiere, that is technically true. But it's the first of a few premieres and the biggest one will be here at Radio City Music Hall," Kristin Davis told the LA Times. "So there was this whole thing like they're snubbing New York or something, and I was like no, no, no, no, no. It's saving the best for last. No offence to London. I mean, we've got a good little, like, a mini tour, because we are opening simultaneously."
"You know how they used to open here and there and here and there in different times? Now we don't do that anymore," Davis explained. "So, like, now you go around, like 'Iron Man' just did. They went to Berlin and they went to Rome, I think. We're doing a similar version of that, but London is the first one."
While New Line sticks by its decision to show the film this way as a chance to maximise its "global appeal" (does it really need any more appeal?) others are questioning whether it is simply a way to test-screen it before it opens to the scrutiny of New Yorkers. Interesting.
Our London sister site Catwalk Queen will have plenty of pics from the London premiere tonight!
