J-HUD JOINS 'SEX AND THE CITY' FILM
Academy Award winner Jennifer Hudson has scored
a plush role in the forthcoming big screen adaptation
of HBO's "Sex and the City." The former "American Idol"
contestant, who won an Oscar for her supporting
role in "Dreamgirls," will play the assistant to
Sarah Jessica Parker's character, Carrie Bradshaw.
Parker, along with the show's other three
leads, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon,
signed on for the project in July after New Line Cinema
agreed to finance and distribute the film. Shooting
will begin next week in New York under the direction
of "Sex in the City" creator, Michael Patrick King, who also
wrote the script.
J-Hud, meanwhile, just completed
production on the Sony-distributed ensemble
drama "Winged Creatures," starring Kate Beckinsale,
Forrest Whitaker, Jackie Earle Haley and Dakota Fanning.
Hudson is also in the studio working on her debut
album for Arista Records, due for release in the first quarter of 2008.
