Most actors seem to get really stressed when they become famous for perfectly portraying a certain role. They get all paranoid that they’re going to be pigeonholed and typecast forever more. So someone like Jennifer Aniston might do a really macabre horror movie after becoming super famous as Rachel in Friends, or Courtney Cox might do some softcore porn. You know, whatever it takes to remind us that they’re multifaceted and multitalented. Because who wants to be stuck playing the same old character or in the same type of show over and over again?
Well, Sarah Jessica Parker, for one. The actress is in talks to star in The Ivy Chronicles, a show about a single gal making her way in New York. All that’s missing are the shoes.
Taking Carrie Bradshaw to the big screen proved a shrewd move for Sarah Jessica Parker – the Sex and the City movie's so far raked in more than $300 million – and now she's eyeing the role of another single urban professional.
The star, 43, is in discussions with Warner Bros. about a screen version of novelist Karen Quinn's The Ivy Chronicles, described by the Hollywood Reporter as an up-to-date take about class and the single woman in Manhattan – though unlike Bradshaw, title character Ivy Ames moves out of the Upper East Side after the double whammy of a job loss and a divorce.
She has to withdraw her children from their expensive private school, though they also provide her with a eureka moment: Ames starts a service to help women land their kids in upper-crust kindergartens.

So… Carrie Bradshaw in ten years? Obviously it’s not the exact same as Sex the City, but it’s similar enough that you’d think Parker would be a little worried about getting stuck playing a New York single gal over and over again. Throw in a few pun-loving girlfriends and you’ve got yourself a guaranteed hit. Frankly it’s probably not a bad decision – Parker’s last few movies haven’t exactly seen critical and/or box office success. She might be wise to play this role until she’s a granny.
