Sex and the City Studio Confirms Plans for Sequel

Studio rep confirms movie is in the works, after Kim Cattrall makes announcement on British talk show

Attention straight men of the world: Time to work on that excuse for why you can't go see the Sex and the City movie sequel with your girl. 'Cause as of today, it is officially in the works.

"They're in negotiations," a rep for Warner Bros. Studios has just confirmed to us.

This comes after Kim Cattrall appeared on Britain's The Paul O'Grady Show, with guest-host Spice Girl Melanie Brown. When asked point-blank if there will be a sequel to the movie blockbuster, Cattrall replied emphatically...

"Yes, there will!"

The 52-year-old actress went on to say, "We will do the sequel next summer. We wanted to the first time, and now we're hopefully doing it again for the second time."

She also admitted it is “difficult getting everybody who’s so incredibly busy all together at the same time.”

The first Sex and the City: The Movie, starring Cattrall, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon, was a huge hit earlier this year, earning more than $153 million in the U.S. and distributed worldwide.

In September, writer-director Michael Patrick King hinted to E.W. he was willing to do more: “It doesn’t feel done to me at all. It feels like it generated a whole new burst of enthusiasm for these characters. If I could come up with a really fun, worthy story it would certainly be a great chance to do it again.”

Anyone else hoping to see more?
