The long-awaited "Sex and the City" movie finally has a studio and a starting schedule.

According to Variety, New Line Cinema is close to a deal to finance and distribute a feature version of the long-running HBO comedy.

The show's key stars, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon, are all signed on to go into production on the "Sex" film this fall.

Michael Patrick King will direct from his own script.

Rumors of a "Sex and the City" feature have circled since the series went off the air in 2004. For a long time, the main holdout was Cattrall, though Variety suggests that her eventual contract for the feature included script input and a contract for a future series deal at HBO.

The actual plot of the feature is shrouded in mystery, as is the involvement of key "Sex" supporting players like Chris Noth.

"Sex and the City," based on the autobiographical columns by Candace Bushnell, won the 2001 Emmy for outstanding comedy series. Each of its four stars received Emmy nominations and Parker and Nixon won for lead actress and supporting actress in a comedy in 2005.
