One of the pilots hoping for a spot on The CW’s Fall 2012 schedule is The Carrie Diaries, a prequel to Sex And The City detailing Carrie Bradshaw’s teenage years in the 1980’s.
Playing “Carrie” is AnnaSophia Robb, and today, Warner Bros. Television just sent out the first official promo shot from the show, featuring Robb as Carrie in very 1980’s clothing. She definitely doesn’t have the equestrian look of the Carrie Bradshaw we had seen before.
Carrie Diaries writer/executive producer Amy B. Harris had this to say about the casting choice: “Having been a part of the Sex and the City series, I felt such an honor and responsibility to the fans of the show to find someone who embodied the spirit of Manhattan’s favorite ‘It’ girl. When AnnaSophia Robb walked into the room, we knew we had found her. Her grace, intelligence, sense of fun and her empathetic nature make her the perfect girl to bring our young Carrie to life. The fact that she loves a gorgeous pair of heels doesn’t hurt either.”
The Carrie Diaries pilot will also star Austin Butler, Katie Findlay, Freema Agyeman, Matt Letscher, and Brendan Dooling.
