'Sex and the City' movie sequel is a sealed deal

A sequel to the 'Sex and the City' movie is on its way - Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kim Cattrall and Kristin have all signed on to reprise their roles in the hit film.

The four main actresses had, until now, only expressed their interest in shooting a second film in the franchise after the global success of the 2008 big-screen adaptation of the TV series, which made more than $400m (€312m) worldwide.

But now the deal is sealed, the stars and writer/director Michael Patrick King signed contracts with studio bosses at New Line on Wednesday, reports EOnline.com's Marc Malkin.

A source tells the celebrity blogger: "Everything was finalised yesterday afternoon."

King has yet to pen a script for the sequel, but he is reportedly aiming for a summer 2010 release date.
