Nixon: 'SATC 3 is down to director'

Cynthia Nixon has claimed that writer-director Michael Patrick King will decide whether or not Sex And The City 3 gets made.

Speaking to Digital Spy at the UK premiere for the latest instalment in the comedy series, Nixon said that King needed to "take a breath" before thinking about making another sequel.

"We have to open the second one first and then Michael Patrick has to take a breath and think about whether he has another one in him to tell," Nixon said.

King admitted that a good storyline is the most important thing about writing for the Sex And The City characters: "It's not about box office, it's about the story. I love these characters, they're vibrant, as long as they keep growing and evolving who knows?"

However, the filmmaker said that he doesn't "have a thought in his head" about a potential direction for the sequel, adding: "I got them home from Abu Dhabi, that was as far as I was going to go in this movie!"

Star Kristin Davis admitted that London could make a good backdrop for further big screen SATC exploits.

"We've been talking about this and I think we should start a petition maybe," she commented. "It's a beautiful, beautiful city."
