'Sex and the City' movie: Michael Patrick King ready for a sequel

Sep 10, 2008, 07:52 AM | by Lindsay Soll

Categories: Movie Biz

Good news for fans of the fabulous foursome: We seem to be one stiletto-heeled step closer to a Sex and the City movie follow-up. “When I finished [the first one], I didn’t have a thought in my head about a sequel,” says writer-director Michael Patrick King. But he says that all changed once the film, which earned $153 million domestically, screened worldwide. “It doesn’t feel done to me at all. It feels like it generated a whole new burst of enthusiasm for these characters. I thought if I could come up with a really fun, worthy story it would certainly be a great chance to do it again.” Still in the negotiation stage, King won’t divulge any scenarios for the film (“If I tipped my head right now, ideas would come pouring out”), but hints at a milieu. “It’s always nice to see the girls in the summer.”

They should just leave it at that. Let's have great memories of SATC without messing it up with another sequel. Let it go...

I could have stayed in that theater all night watching the Sex and the City movie. I was sad to see it end and never once got tired, as I do for most movies. I'm excited about a sequel coming out.

i am one of sex and the city's biggest fans ever. ive followed the awesome 4some aka" carrie, samantha, charlotte, and miranda from the the time it start as a series on hbo. i think that it would be great if u guys came out with a sequel because the movie was so unexceptingly good not becuae the show was bad, but because alot of times when they make movies out of series or vise versa, most of the time its bullshit. alot of the times, i image my life just like theres, i love that show and cant wait for the sequel!

Will everyone relax! Negativity makes the world go round. I am a black woman and i happen to love this show, I think the cast was chosen perfectly. These characters are what drew my attention in the first place. And they didn't have to cast Jen. Hudson in the movie, but they did. Give credit where it's due. This was an amazing show! I loved it so much, i went to the theater with my mother and aunt! And believe me, this is a show that I never would imagine I would watch with my mom! I am so ready for a sequal!

What the heck. Sex in the City is what it is. Us fans of the show and the movie know that. What is up with all the racial politics. I don't think the intent was to omit african americans. It is just PERFECT the way it is. I am so sick of these jabs at a great hit just because it didn't include anyone but caucasins. There are all african american shows/movies, asian shows/movies, hispanic shows/movies, & many many inter rational shows. Again, WHAT THE HECK?. Leave a great thing alone and get over yourselves. Excuse my spelling. My spelling does not make my point any less valid. Any one can do whatever they want in this country. Make more african american only movies but what's up with the attack on a good thing. Innocence should be taken into account here. The writer being able to relate to a certain situation. Again get over yourselves, those that are complaining about a lack of different races. It is pathetic and over heard. You're digging a hole for yourself. How old are you?

He did not add a black woman to be politically correct. The woman won an Oscar, it was a smart move. No one can let go of the race issue, and guess what people it wasn't even a factor in any of it! Michael Patrick King is amazing, his vision was four white women.... The color purple was a great movie too, but did anyone pitch a fit that there were very few whites in it, and look how those few were portrayed. Let it go! I am the biggest Sex and the City fan, without any doubt!

To raprilc: when Waiting to Exhale was made, white women didn't complain about the lack of white presence in the movie, for one simple fact - the movie was about a group of African American friends. Simple as that. Sex and the City happens to focus on a group of white women, and I don't think it's necessary to "add color" to every single movie just to be even.

Laudie Mon, Sep 22, 2008 at 06:06 PM EST

I would like to see a sequel that shows Charlotte needing to get a real job and dealing with real life, Samantha finding a true love of her life she can respect and admire, Carrie having a child and writing children's books, and Miranda able to quit working full time and lean on her man for support.....and possibly having another child.

ej Fri, Sep 12, 2008 at 08:11 AM EST

Oh, I really hope they don't make another one! Honestly, the show ended on a very high note, and the film was decent, but it wasn't perfect. Making a sequel just screams problems to me. Although maybe this time Charlotte's character arc and plotlines could, you know, be developed and less predictable. As a Charlotte fan, I was extremely disappointed by her treatment in the film!

to raprilc Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 02:12 PM EST

Right on with the 'mammy' observation. That's exactly what I thought when I watched it. Loved the movie otherwise.

Delon Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 12:56 AM EST

You know what, unlike what sitcoms show you there are many a white people in big cities who don't have a close black friend. The opposite is true as well. So, stop trying to make people's lives an ad for United Colors. Many people live segregated private lives. SATC women are just four of them. Get used to it. I don't wanna see a token black character in the sequel.

Michael Martinello Wed, Sep 10, 2008 at 12:24 PM EST

I LOVED THIS MOVIE... Totally started to cry when Big ditched Carrie before the wedding. It was probably her chin wart that turned his stomach. He probably sat there and thought about living with that big ol' chin wart for the rest of his life. And who knows where else she had warts on her body. One can only assume. Now that the wart is gone, Big can finally rest in peace knowing that lump of abnormal skin cells is finally gone.

TorontoTom Wed, Sep 10, 2008 at 11:31 AM EST

LOVED the show.
LOVED the movie. Saw it 3 times. NOT too long.
The Louise character did lead Carrie to finding the emails from Big when she was ready to find them. The Meet Me In St. Louis = Louis Vuitton arc was clever. AND... her character was exactly what all four characters were when the show started - girls looking for love. Having her find it definitely had relevance to the plot.

Reese Wed, Sep 10, 2008 at 11:12 AM EST

I loved SATC the TV and the movie.

Let me also add that I am a Black female.

I don't understand the "lack of diversity" comments regarding both the TV show and the movie. Why must there be diversity? If they are four friends who are all of the same race and they don't have any friends who are of different diversities...so what? I could have done without the Louise character. Her character was a total after thought. I personally don't think diversity has to be included just because it would be the politically correct thing to do. I think King should remain true to the characters and who they are.

raprilc Wed, Sep 10, 2008 at 10:08 AM EST

To April: It just seems really obvious to me that King (admirably) wanted to respond to the lamenting of black women who complained that there wasn't enough diversity in the cast during SATC's tv run. King acknowledged this criticism openly during his press junkets for the movie. He only wrote Louise in to address this issue, but you can tell that she was written as an afterthought; the bulk of the script was already complete.


I don't think King was trying to be malicious or anything. He seems like a good guy. But it was a lazy, half-assed attempt to add a little color. If there is a second movie, I want him to fix that. Off the top of my head, Keesha Sharp or Jill Marie Jones would've been good casting as some kind of supporting SATC character. And I didn't even like the show "Girlfriends."

GoddessLu Wed, Sep 10, 2008 at 09:34 AM EST

I'm kind of feeling what you're all saying--the show itself was great, the movie was OK and about 1.5 hours too long. Part of the SATC charm was that it was raucous, hilarious and over in 1/2 hour. I did like Louise only because I love JHud but yeah, she was a compartmentalized part of the movie and didn't really add much thread to the fabric of the story. What a wasted opportunity!

April Wed, Sep 10, 2008 at 09:23 AM EST

I'm with Alaina. I love watching the old episodes but the movie for me was just ehhhh.

To raprilc:
Really, you can't read into everything - especially a Sex and the City movie. BTW, I'm a Black female too.

Los Wed, Sep 10, 2008 at 09:14 AM EST

For the love of god, let it die! People didn't go this ape**** when Seinfeld ended.

raprilc Wed, Sep 10, 2008 at 08:48 AM EST

I don't really care if they do another movie or not. But if they do, don't just throw people of color in at the last minute, ala Jennifer Hudson's Louise.


Louise was wholly unnecessary to begin with. I mean, really, what was her character arc?


Then on top of that, King made her some fixer-upper character (looking a little too similar to mammy caricatures of decades past) whose only role was to snap Carrie out of her funk. As a black woman, I gotta say thanks for adding one of us to the mix, but no thanks if you're gonna do it that way.

Alaina Wed, Sep 10, 2008 at 08:02 AM EST

Seriously? I loved the show didn't like the movie that much...leave the girls alone! I'm tired of contrived plots to make them sad then happy again!
