Anyone unfamiliar with the modern phenomenon that is gay male worship of Sarah Jessica Parker need only check out the queer blogs' frenzied chatter about the impending Sex and the City movie or the squealing, tear-filled reception the actor received when she popped in unexpectedly as guest judge on Bravo's Project Runway.

It's safe to say that her comings and goings are must-see media events for lots of gay guys.

And her fans will have more reasons to squeal when she stars in another upcoming feature, Smart People.

Due to premiere at January's Sundance Film Festival, the film stars Dennis Quaid as a widowed professor who finds new love with Parker and reunites with an adopted brother, played by Thomas Haden Church (Sideways).

Ellen Page (Juno) co-stars as Quaid's daughter.

Smart Parker fans won't have long to wait for the 2008 release.
