Earlier this month, we heard whispers a Sex and the City Prequel could be on the way, with Blake Lively even tipped to take on the role of a young Carrie. But now SATC star Kristin Davis has slammed the idea, revealing she doesn’t think there should be another film.

Writer Candace Bushnall has already penned The Carrie Diaries, a novel about the character's high school years.

And it seems SATC writer Michael Patrick King is keen to introduce a new group of girls, and already has Ms Lively in mind for Carrie’s part. 

Earlier this month, Sarah Jessica Parker revealed she wasn’t keen on the idea of a prequel about the girls’ early lives, but wouldn’t rule out returning for a third movie.

‘I don't think we can pretend to go back. It's creating two histories,’ the told the Los Angeles Times, adding ‘I think there's one more story to tell. I know there is.’

Now Kristin Davis has joined the chorus, putting down the rumoured project.

‘Not so into the prequel movie,’ Kristin told E! of the idea.

‘Because we're us and we've discussed our history in the show already so for all of our fervent fans who listen to what we say, why would we rewrite that?

‘And then have like different people with our names? It's kind of freaky.’

Movie bosses are still said to be considering a third movie starring our four favourite girls, with SJP hinting another film could be in the pipeline.

I so want a 3rd movie but not a prequel. No-one could ever be Carrie, Samantha, Miranda or Charlotte apart from SJP, Kim Cattrell, Cynthia Nixon and Kristen Davies. They're icons and cant't be replaced. I'd still love to know what they are all doing especially Samantha when they are in their 70's :)

I think its time they put this baby to bed. SATC had its run but isn't it time they moved on from these vacuous cloth horses whose life goals and happiness revolve around sex and shoes? If only true happiness were so simple as a Marc Jacobs dress and a pair of Manolos. Is this the emancipation that women fought for?

SATC is anything but vacuous - the sex and shoes themes, although they run throughout the film are purely a back drop to the main and more meaningful theme (as anyone who has watched the show will know), which is friendship, in all its guises, between women. It isn't meant to be a flagship for femanism, but definately shows the lives of four independent women and the importance their close friendship is! I for one can relate to this and if I can see some great fashion and hilarious antics at the same time then great! Bring on No 3!!!!!!

Prequel... really?! SATC III has possibilities... only if there was was a screenplay/story worth telling, unlike the last two films. The very idea of a prequel is ridiculous. Hoping to capture the younger crowd? A good start would be finding a fresh idea! What is worng with these people?
