Don’t look for a movie prequel to the Sex and the City saga — at least not by Michael Patrick King. During today’s TCA panel on King’s new CBS comedy 2 Broke Girls, the executive producer took a detour to answer a question about rumors of a Sex and the City prequel movie, which would follow Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte through their teens into their 20s and would be based on author Candace Bushnell’s novels The Carrie Diaries and Summer and the City. King was executive producer/showrunner of HBO’s Sex and the City series and wrote and directed the two Sex and the City movies. “I’m not working on any Sex and the City prequel at all,” he said. “I haven’t read Candace’s Bushnell’s books. … My Carrie Bradshaw started at 33 and I took her to 43 — I don’t even want to know who Carrie Bradshaw’s parents are … the idea of going backward, making her less evolved, is something that I can’t even imagine doing. I have no connection to the prequel.”

Maybe there is a god after all.
One great series and two shitty movies later, maybe he got the hint it was time to move on.
Works for me.
THANK GAWD!!!!!!
Glad to hear it. Loved the series, the first movie was ok, haven’t seen the second. I am getting my fix by watching the occasional rerun on E. Just leave it alone now.
what i find funny is sex and the city 1 and 2 cost 160 million total to make and made 700 million worldwide not to mention tons in dvd sales… yet they are so nervous about a sequel when part 2 still made almost 300 million…
yet green lantern also from warners… had a budget of 200 million just for one movie… and made half of what sex 2 made and the head of warners says they are still thinking about a sequel…
strange…
It’ll be in 3-D though, right? Right? All the botox injections…they’ll be 3-D?
Guess Darren Starr really did run it. MPK has been overrated for years.
There is a god !
Thank you Jeebus.
Just a stupid assinine idea to be going backwards with this series. The second one was just horrible and yet they want to go back to the teen years? PLEASE! End the series for good and call it a day.
Hear Hear. MPK stop fucking writing forever. I can’t believe you’re actually getting to possibly direct Meryl Streep now.
There is a God because of this news but the mofo takes some long ass naps.
A prequel is generally a disaster!!
Thank God. What was once a witty, well written trifle of a show became a wonky eyed film series. It all needs to be left alone. Time Warner asswipes only want to franchise it because they don’t think about things creatively.
Didn’t we already have “young” version of Dumb & Dumber? They’ve shot this Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd and everyone were like: “And? First one was funny because of Jim Carey and Jeff Daniels. Why the hell would we watch some unknown people who mimic them?”
Same here. How on earth someone could think that fans of the show will go and watch some unknown or some knows C-lists like Blake Lively, Selena Gomes, Leighton Meister or some other to play young characters from Sex and the city.
Folks, I don’t think the prequel is NOT getting made, it’s just notting getting made with MPK. More than likely, he wasn’t even asked so he’s saving face by saying what he’s saying. Although honestly, I can’t imagine who would WANT to be involved with this prequel, outside of studio-pirahna bottom-feeding execs hungry for the next zillion dollar paycheck from dvd sales this will inevitably generate. Hey, wait a minute– that sounds great! I’m in!
This project will still happen, just not with MPK. He’s a horrible director anyway.
Glad there’s no prequel (what a dumb idea), but I almost wish he makes a 3rd SATC movie and ends there–if only to cleanse the palate of the last film.
michael patrick king is a class act. period. bitter haters go away.
The prequel will still happen and it’s unfortunate that he won’t be involved with it, i hope that the prequel will do well enough for them to do a third one with the original ladies — the 2nd one had the unfortunate opening date of memorial day weekend.
It’s just hollywood wanting to go for the younger demographic.
thank god, how can original sex and the city fans watch a movie withought the four fun loving ladies we watched through the whole series
