(Newser) – Sex and the City director Michael Patrick King has confirmed that another movie is in the works, but he refused to divulge much more than that. "I would love to give everyone more information about the sequel," he told the New York Daily News. "But I'm busy with my Sex life."

Don't expect to find out much about the plot before the movie's summer 2010 premiere. All King is saying now is: "In the last movie, I thought (fans) wanted to see an epic and violently tragic love story, and drama, but I don't think you go to that candy store twice." Shooting starts this summer.
