"I am happy to be back in the flesh as Mr. Big, especially after reading Michael Patrick King's script," Chris told The Daily News' Laura Schreffler. "I was thrilled that the producers were able to work around my ‘Law and Order: Criminal Intent' schedule."

Filming for the SATC movie is scheduled to begin in early October. It should last no longer than 8 months, for a quick release date of summer 2008.
