The project, in development at the pay cable network with a significant penalty attached to it,
The original series, which aired on BBC Two for two seasons, was written and directed by Hugo Blick and starred Joanna Lumley as a well-to-do ex-model working at an art gallery in London.
"Sensitive Skin" falls under a development deal Cattrall inked with HBO when she signed on for the "Sex and the City" feature.
Cattrall, Burgess, Green and Blick are exec producing with Henry Normal, whose Baby Cow Prods. was behind the British series.
This is the second post-"Sex and the City" collaboration between Cattrall and HBO. In 2005, she exec produced and starred in the documentary "Kim Cattrall: Sexual Intelligence."
"Sensitive Skin" also marks the latest British format to make its way to HBO's development slate, along with the comedy "Suburban Shootout," which is shooting a pilot written by Michelle Ashford and directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, and the recently picked up drama "Bad Girls," which is being adapted by Alan Ball, Nancy Oliver and Raelle Tucker.
Cattrall, who won a Golden Globe for her role as Samantha on "Sex and the City," recently starred in the ITV telefilm "My Boy Jack" in her native England.
Burgess and Green won three Emmys for their work on "Sopranos," including two writing trophies for the episodes "Employee of the Month" and "Whitecaps."
Cattrall, Burgess and Green are repped by ICM.

Fuck the haters, the bad reviews, whatever - that movie was kickass.
I'd go see it again with you! lol.
good to know! ;)
The movie was really good. I didn't watch the show and I loved it, LOL.
Most movies have those visible, but the projectionist has to position it just so, so that it's not visible.
I've read great things about the other one mentioned in this article - Suburban Shootout. It's sitting on my computer, but I haven't watched it yet.
(reminds me of first year at university--we found a Djibouti flag somewhere and put it up in our residence common room. It was thenceforth called the "DJ Booty".)
I noticed that American crime dramas are generally more preachy and moralistic than is necessary. I'm able to pick up on subtleties, thank you very much.
a uk channel better pick it up. fuck the fact we had it originally.
Very, very, very smart. I really respect her for making that deal. Actresses over 50 have such a difficult time finding good roles, so it's awesome that she used whatever leverage she had to help her create future opportunities.
Why do the US have to re-make yet another series ?
On another note, Kim Cattrall seems to be following Lumley's career. Samantha is a watered-down version of Patsy from AbFab, & now this !
i think she's annoying and old.
but damn if i had a body like her at her age, i'd be prancing around naked too.
