Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) runs after Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) on her way to confront Big (Chris Noth, far right near Town Car), armed with a bouquet of flowers. Photos by Josh K. taken just after 2 p.m. today.
Whoa! So, Josh K. and I just got back from the Sex and the City: The Movie set. They're filming outside The Bryant Park Hotel (40 W. 40th Street).
At one point we stood a few feet from Sarah Jessica Parker in full (crazy) wedding regalia, as well as Miranda and Charlotte in their (gorgeous, non-matching) bridesmaid dresses. (We also stood close to Mr. Big and Steve, who chatted amiably between takes.)
It seems that we may have been there for the climactic scene of the movie. Here's what happened.
A limousine starts cruising down West 40th, goes about fifteen feet, and then abruptly stops in the middle of the street. Carrie gets out of the right rear door, a huge bouquet of flowers in her hands, and starts running at a tux-clad Mr. Big, who has just stepped out of Town Car. Carrie starts beating Big with the bouquet, screaming, “I knew you would do it!” looking both angry and heartbroken.
Miranda and Charlotte bust out of the limo and come after Carrie, ushering her back to the limo. Miranda and Carrie make it into the vehicle before Charlotte turns around, her face contorting, and yells something at Big before getting into the limo, which speeds off another fifteen feet or so before “cut” is called.
We watched the whole thing three times.

Steve's looking beefy (and hot).

I can only hope that when i get married I can wear something as ridiculous as that feather nightmarish thing in her hair.

I am so jealous - you were so close to the cast! If you had a cold, Sarah JP is probably sitting at home sniffling tonight. Does Cynthia Nixon get paid extra for wearing pigtails?

OK, OK... So, I am one of those people who have felt like STC ended in such a great place, that it should be left to occupy its dignified space in TV history.
That said, seeing these pictures has stirred the "pot o' nostalgia" and now (good or bad) I can't wait for the film to come out - if only to spent a couple hours with our old Sunday night friends!

Not only was I there to see this same bit of filming on 40th Street on the same day you were, you actually got me in one of your pictures! I was in Bryant Park looking to the south east, right behind the black fence! How random to know that you guys were just across the street from me enjoying the same excitement!
