Does Sex and the City Sequel Have "Big" Problems?

Sarah Jessica Parker, Chris Noth INFDaily.com

The second Sex and the City movie may not be as big as the first.

We're sure the box office will be just as major, but I'm told there's been a delay in getting Mr. Big to agree to return.

While no start date to shoot the movie has been decided, one source tells me that Chris Noth has yet to sign on because of "scheduling problems."

However, another source says…

Timing may not be the issue. Quite simply, Noth and New Line Cinema are still negotiating his paycheck in talks.

As I first reported in February, Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kim Cattrall and Kristin Davis are set to reprise their roles, along with writer-director Michael Patrick King.

New Line announced earlier this week that SATC II will hit theaters May 28, 2010.

But there's going to be some inventive storytelling happening if Mr. Big isn't around for the sophomore effort. The last we saw, Carrie married Mr. Big even after he first left her at the altar.
