With the huge success of the Sex and The City movie, it looks like a sequel will be coming down the line. Fans who had made their peace and said goodbye to the four girls will get a chance to see further in their personal and fashion lives.

HBO, who was one of the main backers of the movie, has confirmed that a sequel is indeed in, “the early stages of development”. The president of HBO’s programming group, Michael Lombardo, says that they are working with Warner Brothers on the follow up movie. “There is enormous interest by Warner Bros. and New Line to do another Sex and the City and I think, in fact, they’re trying to put that together now. When that happens or how long it would take, I can’t say. But there’s tremendous interest.”

HBO co-president, Richard Plepler, is also very excited and positive about the prospect of a Sex and The City sequel. “Everybody came away feeling very excited by [the first film's] quality and its success, so that always invites the possibility of a continuation,” Plepler said. “It’s really up to [director] Michael Patrick [King] and Sarah Jessica [Parker] and the rest of the girls … Yeah, I think there’s a likely possibility.”

But this is definitely in the preliminary stages. So far there is no script written and no contracts have been signed by any of the stars. And there are already rumors that Kim Cattrall, who plays Samantha, will once again hold out for more money. A source says, “Kim is a smart woman and knows the part she has played in the success of the film. If they want to make a sequel, it’s foolish to think they can secure her for the same salary.”
