Also reprising their roles are Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, and Cynthia Nixon, with the series' executive producer Michael Patrick King taking on writing and directing duties. Chris Noth, David Eigenberg, Evan Handler and Jason Lewis return as the women's love interests. "Dreamgirls'" Jennifer Hudson co-stars as Carrie's assistant. Vitals: Director: Michael Patrick King.

Leatherheads
Romantic comedy set against the backdrop of America's nascent pro-football league in 1925. George Clooney plays Dodge Connolly, a charming, brash football hero who is determined to guide his team from bar brawls to packed stadiums. But after the players lose their sponsor and the entire league faces certain collapse, Dodge convinces a college football star to join his ragtag ranks. The captain hopes his latest move will help the struggling sport finally capture the country's attention. Welcome to the team Carter Rutherford (John Krasinski), America's favorite son. A golden-boy war hero who single-handedly forced multiple German soldiers to surrender in WWI, Carter has dashing good looks and unparalleled speed on the field. This new champ is almost too good to be true, and Lexie Littleton (ReneeZellweger) aims to prove that's the case. A cub journalist playing in the big leagues, Lexie is a spitfire newswoman who suspects there are holes in Carter's war story. But while she digs, the two teammates start to become serious off-field rivals for her fickle affections. As the new game of pro-football becomes less like the freewheeling sport he knew and loved, Dodge must both fight to keep his guys together and to get the girl of his dreams. Finding that love and football have a surprisingly similar playbook, however, he has one maneuver he will save just for the fourth quarter. Vitals: Director: George Clooney. Stars: George Clooney, Renee Zellweger, John Krasinski, Jonathan Pryce, Stephen Root, Ezra Buzzington, John Vance, Dan John Miller. 2008, CC, MPAA rating: PG-13, 114 min., Comedy, Box office gross: $31.199 million, Universal.
Deception
Lonely, timid accountant Jonathan McQuarry (Ewan McGregor) lives only for his work -- until a chance meeting with suave, charismatic corporate lawyer Wyatt Bose (Hugh Jackman) introduces him to "The List."

But an affair with a ravishing and mysterious stranger (Michelle Williams) will expose him to another world he never imagined: one of betrayal, treachery and murder.
