A "Sex and the City" sequel is coming to a theater near you

You can't make everyone happy, but you sure can make money trying ($135 million, to be exact). Michael Patrick King must have learned that lesson somewhere along the way of working on Sex and the City: The Movie. Of course some fans will find fault in Big's predictable commitment-phobia or in Samantha's new singleness post-Smith, but the characters themselves are so lovable that it doesn't really matter — we'll keep paying to see them go through their trials, even at $10 a ticket.

King, the lead writer and director of Sex and the City, told Entertainment Weekly that a summer sequel is on the way.

When I finished [the first one], I didn’t have a thought in my head about a sequel. 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.

There's no argument here. As a fan of the show (and Cynthia Nixon's involvement), I know I'll be shelling out cash to see what happens to the girls. Will you?

    I'll probably go because I'm just too curious not too... but I have say they are pushing their luck, it must not be easy to think of new storylines and to keep it interesting so they better bring good stuff! But YAY! Cynthia on the big screen again... :D

    I loved the show but the movie was terrible. Methinks I shall be waiting for this one to come out on DVD so I can fast forward through the bad bits and rewind any parts involving Cynthia Nixon.

    However, if they mess with Charlotte and Harry I'll be cracking skulls!

    I'll come behind you cracking knee caps! They better not try to move Charlotte off to the burbs either, because she is so not the Scarsdale type!

    If Miranda dumps Steve to pursue a heavenly power dyke however, I'd be all about it. Any chance Bette Porter will be single again next summer and in New York?

    Now the real question is are you pro- little Bigs and Carries running around, or Manolo-wearing spawn averant?

    I walked right by her on the street today!  It was so weird.  She looked like she was in a hurry.  I did a double-take, then stopped and stood there like an idiot, just staring.

    But anyways, she is fantastic.  'Twas cool walking by her, though I felt a bit silly for staring.

    I really liked the TV series

    I really liked the TV series but I think the movie was bad. The last season had really wrapped things up nicely and everyone had grown, and was at a good place in their lives. I thought the movie was like a caricature of the show, all the women went backwards from what they'd achieved already, and they didn't even act like themselves. Carrie and Big's cold feet storyline was absurd after the events of season 6. I will not see the next movie, as I'm already pretending the last one wasn't canonical.

    Nevertheless, I'll go and see if a new high tech vibrator  enters cast and marries Samantha :D
