Actor Chris Noth will reprise his role as Mr. Big, Carrie Bradshaw's love interest, in the big screen version of HBO's Sex and the City series.
"I assure you that Mr. Big is a very 'big' part of the Sex and the City movie," said Michael Patrick King, who is directing the film.

"Chris Noth assures me that Mr. Big is alive and well and ready to report to the set in September," said King, who was one of the executive producers of the TV series.
Noth, 50, plays police detective Mike Logan on NBC's Law & Order: Criminal Intent.
Sarah Jessica Parker will return to her role as Carrie Bradshaw, as will the three other original cast members: Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon.
Reports have been rife with speculation about a movie adaptation ever since the Emmy-winning series ended its six-season run in 2004. In the last episode, Carrie decides to return into the arms of Mr. Big, who was finally given a first name, "John."
New Line studios announced in July that a script had been approved and all four actresses were on board.
Noth is the only supporting player from the series confirmed for the movie.
Shooting is scheduled to begin in and around Manhattan next month.
