Sex and the City: The Movie was a huge success at the box office when it was released in May last year and despite rumours of contract problems, the four leading ladies - Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis - have all signed up to make a second film based on the hit TV series.

Speaking to Access Hollywood, Sarah explained: “I think we want this one to be a romp. The last one, we got to tell a really mature sophisticated story that had real heartbreak in it, and this time, I think we want a romp. We want our audience to have a massive romp.”

But she added the scriptwriters are keen for the film to reflect the real world rather than it just being a out-and-out comedy: “How do we address these economic times in a franchise that has a lot to do with luxury and labels? How do we do that well? And how do we do that in a not lazy way?

“There is a lot that we have to think about because times are very different. So these are nice challenges, these are good challenges.

“I’m glad they’re not [my challenges], they’re really Michael Patrick King’s, but we certainly have conversations about them.”

The script is currently in development with filming set to start later this year and a proposed release date for summer 2010.
