"The girls had great fun doing the show, so they all realised they’d be silly to turn down a movie."

There’s no word on what the film will focus on but there has previously been speculation that it will be a prequel to the HBO series, following the girls as they become the cocktail-swilling ladies who lunch in the hit show.

Sex and the City movie edges closer - Dec 21 2006
The much-anticipated film version of Sex And The City edges ever closer, after the previously most reluctant cast member expressed her interest in the project.

Many attempts have been made to get the movie off the ground, but all have apparently stalled thanks to actress Kim Cattrall’s reticence to return to the character of Samantha.

Some have said this is because she doesn’t want to tread new ground, others reveal it’s because she wants the same pay package as Sarah Jessica Parker.

However, after returning to America after a three month stint in London’s West End, Kim responded to the talk, saying: "I’ve just come home and there was just this flood of excitement ... I’m just so glad we haven’t been missed or forgotten."

While that’s not exactly a signature on the dotted line, it sounds like she is keen to hear more about it.

All of the other major cast members - Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis - have already said they would be keen to see what happens to the group, picking up where the television show left off.

Kim Cattrall has confessed - Nov 3 2005
Kim Cattrall has confessed she was daunted at the prospect of dating a toyboy when she first fell for 26-year-old boyfriend Alan Wyse. The ’Sex and the City’ actress - who, at 49, is nearly twice the age of her latest lover - admits she was worried they would have nothing in common because of the 23-year age gap.

The blonde beauty, whose two ex-husbands were much older than her, revealed: "Seeing someone much younger than me was totally unexpected. At first, I found myself in this state of mind of really having a judgment about it. What does this mean? We can’t possibly have the same point of view about things because of the age difference - and we don’t. But I never had that with my husbands, either."

However, Kim insists the relationship is going very well - because she and Alan both love food. She told America’s USA Today newspaper: "It’s going very well. We share common interests in food. I love to eat - love to eat well - and we love to cook together. "It sort of seems to be the zeitgeist right now of older women and younger men." Other famous women with toyboys include Demi Moore, whose new husband Ashton Kutcher is 15 years her junior, and Cameron Diaz, who is nine years older than boyfriend Justin Timberlake.
