Jennifer Hudson, an Oscar winner for her magnificent role in “Dreamgirls,” is set to join the cast of New Line Cinema’s upcoming “Sex in the City: The Movie.” Hudson, who’s in final negotiations, will portray the assistant to Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw.

The popular show, which aired in HBO, will revolve around the lives of the four main “Sex and the City” characters, four years after the time frame of the finale of the HBO series, which wrapped its six-year run in 2004.

Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon and Chris Noth have signed to reprise their roles, and Michael Patrick King, skein’s longtime creative leader and exec producer, is set to write and direct.

The film will be produced by King with Parker, John Melfi and Darren Star, who created the series, based on autobiographical columns penned by Candace Bushnell.

The movie will begin shooting in New York on Sept. 19.
