Kim Cattrall Makes a Porno?

Filed under: Comedy », Casting », RumorMonger », Fandom », Newsstand »



Not long ago we told you how Sex and the City star Kim Cattrall had signed on to star in a new film called Miss January. In the original article over at Variety, they described her character as a "1980s cinema siren who is now a 50-year-old single mother in the middle of a child custody battle." Now, what they don't tell you -- and what a little birdie just whispered to Cinematical -- was that Cattrall's "1980s cinema siren" is actually a 1980s porn star named Monica Velour. Our tipster adds that "she has no gag reflex." Well okay then.

Miss January is currently in production, and also stars Brian Dennehy, Dustin Ingram and Keith David. Unfortunately for all you Cattrall stalkers out there, the film takes place years after the character was a porn star, and so chances are the sex in this city will be rather tame (featuring no more than one partner) and not recorded on cheap, sleazy video. Sorry dudes. The film was written and is being directed by Keith Bearden, and there's currently no release date scheduled.

What do you Sex and the City fans think -- can Cattrall pass as a 1980s porn star?

News Bites: Ratner, Reiner, Ferrell and Sex ... with Conan?

Busy Friday in Hollywood -- here, let us catch you up:

-- While being on television didn't get the Sex and the City women strong cinematic careers, proving themselves in the feature film has got the casting ball rolling. Just the other day I posted how Kristin Davis was heading to a Couples Retreat, and now Samantha is getting her time to shine. Variety reports that Kim Cattrall is going to star in a new film called Miss January, from writer/director Keith Bearden. Unlike the success the actress earned after her early Mannequin days, her character is "a 1980s cinema siren who is now a 50-year-old single mother in the middle of a child custody battle." Will putting down the Manolos and picking up the kidlets get Cattrall some awards love?

-- Seems Summit it keen on keeping their Sex Drive on high, seeing as they've put that film's creators, Sean Anders and John Morris, in charge of a new comedy about -- and check out this morbid concept -- a dude who knocks up his one-night stand, then is forced to take care of the baby when the mother is killed in a car wreck. While you try to find the humor in that one ...

... this should certainly make you laugh: According to AICN, Brett Ratner is a lock to direct the new Conan film. Not sure why Ratner's the choice here (especially since this film's main character is a male full of muscles), but apparently the idea is to go back to square one and see if they can't franchise this sucker. I personally think Conan's a little too deep for The Brett, but I guess we'll see ...
