Sex and the City success spurs talk of Arliss movie

Now that the film adaptation of HBO's "Sex and the City" has smashed box office records this weekend by grossing an astonishing $56 million, "Arli$$" star Robert Wuhl is hoping to follow in Sarah Jessica Parker's dainty footsteps.

The buzz in Hollywood is that Wuhl, who played sports super agent Arliss Michaels on his own HBO show for three seasons, is preparing to take out a script for a feature film version of "Arli$$: the Art of the Sports Super Agent." In an exclusive interview with Dateline Hollywood, Wuhl confirmed the rumor is true.

"I've had this script in my pocket ready to go for a decade and finally the time is right," Wuhl confirmed during a short break in his busy gardening schedule. "If 'Sex and the City' was a hit with only women attending, imagine how much money a movie based on 'Arliss,' which was regularly viewed by several dozen men and women every time it aired, could make."

Wuhl added that he has commitments from sports mega-stars Tommy Lasorda and Bob Eucker to make guest appearances in the film.
