Three years after cable TV hit Sex and the City went dark, the lights are reportedly coming on for a new movie version set to start production this fall.

New Line Cinema is finalizing a deal with the producers of the sexy HBO cable series for a movie adaptation, according to a report from Hollywood industry publication Variety.

The new project will unite the Emmy Award-winning show's stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis and Kim Cattrall as dating columnist Carrie Bradshaw and her trio of high powered girlfriends Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha.

The movie will also feature the creative executives who were behind the TV series: executive producer Michael Patrick King is set to direct a script that he wrote and to produce the project alongside Parker, John Melfi and series creator Darren Star.

Three years ago, as the series prepared to wind down after six seasons, fans began calling for a movie version, with demand intensifying after the February 2004 finale.

In the years since, a previous movie attempt was reportedly nixed when Canadian actress Cattrall was unhappy with the project.

No announcement has yet been made about whether the show's supporting cast — including Parker's key love interest Mr. Big, played by Chris Noth — will join the new film.

Based on writer Candace Bushnell's series of New York Observer newspaper columns about life as a single woman in the Big Apple, Sex and the City drew legions of largely female fans for its frank discussions of sex, dating and relationships, unabashed devotion to fashion, romantic depiction of Manhattan and quartet of strong female leads.
