Sex And The City Filming Halted!

Cynthia Nixon Filmshaft.comFilming for Sex and the City 2 was halted on Wednesday – after hysterical fans attempted to overpower security to get closer to Cynthia Nixon!

Nixon, who plays the cynical yet lovable lawyer, Miranda Hobbes Brady in the movie, was in New York filming scenes for the Sex and the City sequel with co-stars Sarah Jessica Parker and Chris Noth when fans of the show surrounded the set to try and get a better look at their on screen heroes.

Film chiefs stepped up on set security in order to protect the stars, but fans caused havoc, forcing production to temporarily halt filming. According to New York Daily News:

A source tells New York Daily News, “People were screaming and trying to push past guards. The fans were just too much. Security looked legitimately concerned for her (Nixon’s) safety.”

And Parker and Noth’s presence has also caused a stir on the streets of the Big Apple.

The insider adds, “They looked more like they were protecting the president.

“At one point, teenage girls were practically trampling each other trying to get to Sarah Jessica as she was walking back to her trailer, but her security team was shoving everyone out of the way.”

But the heavy-handed security team upset Parker, who reportedly asked them not to “hurt her fans.” The insider continues, “She looked upset and extremely concerned. The guards were getting pretty rough.”

The original Sex and the City movie, which hit theatres last year was released over five years after the original series left our television screens. It has earned more than $415 million worldwide.
