Get ready for more cosmos and screaming women! After months of idle talk, HBO has confirmed that a sequel to the Sex and the City movie is in the early stages of development — no surprise, considering the first spin-off from the series has earned $146 million since it debuted in theaters at the end of May. Michael Lombardo, president of HBO’s programming group, told a group of reporters at the cable network’s annual press tour in Los Angeles today, “We’re really heartened by the fans’ enthusiasm. Absolutely, there is a lot of energy behind doing another SATC movie.” Lombardo wouldn’t expound on his comments but a source confirmed that Warner Bros. has begun discussions on a sequel, adding that the studio is hoping to fast-track the project. However, no deal is in place and there is no script. In fact, the lead actresses involved are taking a cautious attitude towards another film, not wanting to rush a sequel and risk disappointing their loyal fans. Warner Bros. hasn’t returned calls seeking comment. — Reporting by Lynette Rice

This time I better see Stanford with his boo Marcus, more of Charlotte and her husband and I want to see 50 year old Sammantha grow up! Who in their right mind wants to be a 50 year old slut? I would love LOVE to see Samantha hook back up with Richard. yeah I know he cheated on her but I loved them as a couple. And more Miranda less close ups of Carrie.

That’s it. I’m done. What else could they possibly do with this? They should just leave well enough alone.
I was completely excited and slightly apprehensive about the first movie. I thought the series went out on a high note, so I was fearful that the movie would disappoint.
But I loved it and unlike some, enjoyed the way the movie ended. As much as I’d like to see the SATC gals again, I don’t know if they should mess with it again.
leave it alone, the movie just wasn’t worth the hype
I would love to see another SATC film, as long as Big DOESN’T cheat, divorce or disappoint Carrie again. Enough already! Can we please make a movie where he’s a good husband?
Yay!!! I loved the movie, and can’t wait for the sequel! I agree, Big needs to be a really good husband–they NEED to let him and Carrie be happy! Can’t wait to see what this fantastic team comes up with next!
I loved the movie too!! I’d like to good things with Big and Carrie, like a baby! And I would like to see Samantha with Richard, they were great together. And I wouldn’t have been so forgiving like Miranda with Steve, but maybe things will be great with them. I really like Charlotte and Harry and their famiy. I love the show, and I cannot wait for another movie!!!
For God’s sake, let it die!
I loved the SATC movie, but I think it ended perfectly and HBO should just let it stand – no more. Seriously, what’s the point? We wanted to see Carrie & Big get hitched and we got it. End it on this high note and take a hint from the old show biz adage “Leave ‘em wanting more.”
Qaplah! all you forshak-hut dwellers need to meet the business end of my Bat’leh!
OMG I am sooooo excited!!!! Miss Carrie is to die for, I love these crazy gals!
I am really excited to see another SATC movie. Of course, that’s because I was a really HUGE fan of ‘Equus’ and it wasn’t because of Daniel Radcliffe! (wink)
Go out in STYLE! The movie was a nice Valentine to the devoted fans of the show and our four girls all ended up in a great space. I think a second film would be a let down as there’s not much else you can do except have someone die, get cancer, get divorced or go gay. The film is a standalone achievement…why outlive your welcome and end the SATC in a mediocre way. After all, lest you remember the uneven quality of the TREK films, the sad debacle of CHARLIE’S ANGELS 2, and the horrendous AUSTIN POWERS 3? Stop thinking with your wallet, Hollywood–you only disappoint when you do so…
