The new "Sex and the City 2" poster: Seabiscuit and the gang look....odd

Well, two of them anyway. Dark Horizons had an amusing article up today in regards to some airbrushing gone wrong on the latest one-sheet for "Sex and the City 2" (Opening May 28th). Now, it's commonplace to pretty up actors and actresses for magazine photos, movies and of course, one-sheets selling a particular film. But something has horribly gone awry with the touch-up work on two of the "City" gals, Sarah-Jessica Parker and Kim Catrall. Look at the poster below. While Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon look somewhat normal, Parker and Catrall look....well....

Yeah...ghastly. I never have found Sarah-Jessica Parker to be attractive, but her she looks like she is either undergoing a procedure to become Asian, or...um, well, I don't know what she might be suffering from. Bottom line: she looks downright scary here. As for Catrall, who was pretty hot back in 1981 when she starred in "Porky's", now looks like she has had her airbrushed head transplanted onto the body of someone at least a half-century younger than she actually is. Whether the above image is an error on Warner's behalf or it's simply a misfired request on behalf of the movie's two top stars to make them look as young and sexy as possible is anyone's guess. One thing is for certain: if they make a third film, watch for Catrall's head to be placed on a Zygote and Parker to appear as the Invisible Woman on the poster (Parker would be the one on the left):


And not to ruin anyone's anticipation for the upcoming film, but apparently the four ladies have been threatened with a hefty fine should any of them give up plot details prior to release. That's not the part that might make fans uneasy. It is what Parker, who also produced the film, said in an interview: "the film would fail at the box office if the public got a whiff of the plot". 

Hardly a ringing endorsement from Seabiscuit.
