From Slashfilm:
Sex and the City 2 was a disappointment at the box office, failing to live up to the shockingly high gross of its predecessor. Rather than let the series die, HBO Films is reportedly looking into taking the tried-and-true route that so many franchises have opted for before: Making a prequel.
I could see this. While I don't exactly want a prequel (which wouldn't include all of the other characters that actually made the show work), Blake Lively does seem to be the perfect choice.
I was so happy when the show died, seeing the movies come out just makes me die a little inside everytime....
I could never bring myself to watch the show, let alone any of the movies.
