SJP on SATC3

Even after Sex and the City 2 was savaged by critics, Sarah Jessica Parker is angling for a third film in the series.

The Sex and the City sequel -- based on the racy HBO show, which was based on Candace Bushnell's New York Observer columns on single life in New York City -- underperformed at the box office and majorly disappointed critics. Nevertheless, the show and movies' star, Sarah Jessica Parker, tells the Los Angeles Times she's ready for more.

"I'd definitely tell that [third] story, and I know [gay creator] Michael [Patrick King] would do it right," she says. "But maybe not now. Maybe in five years, you know?"

Rumors have persisted that a movie will be made about Carrie Bradhaw's early days, either as a teenager or 20-something -- Parker doesn't seem too thrilled with that idea.

"There are a lot of important and interesting stories that 21-year-olds can tell," Parker says. "I don't begrudge any 21-year-old the opportunity to tell their stories. They prove to us on an everyday basis that they're interesting. Even their narcissism is interesting. Even their inertia is interesting. Even their tonal speech patterns are interesting. But I don't think we can pretend to go back. It's creating two histories. It's like, 'Oh I didn't know that about Carrie Bradshaw.'"
