Kristin Davis: Sex and the City 3 is down to the fans

Kristin Davis, who played Charlotte York in Sex and the City, says the potential for a sequel to 2010's film is down to fan support.

The 49-year-old stars as Charlotte York alongside Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall and Cynthia Nixon in the film spin-offs based on the popular TV series of the same name, and admits their huge fan base was the reason they considered the big screen productions in the first place.

Talking on British programme 'The Jonathan Ross Show' she said: "If the fans weren't interested I don't think it would ever happen.

"It was a struggle to get both the first movie and the second movie made, partly because we're a franchise starring four women over 40 and that just frankly doesn't happen.

"It's only from our fan support that anything ever happened ever in the film region. I think the third if it does happen is because people talk about us, we're still on the air, there is the fan support and so it means a lot to us."

Earlier this month, director Michael Patrick King admitted 'Sex and the City' has another story left to tell but remained cryptic about whether he would helm a sequel to 2010's film.

He said: "Sarah Jessica and I both know what that final chapter is. That doesn't mean it will or should be told, but I do think there's one story left. Whether it ever happens is a whole other situation. But there's four girls, and those girls are still in my mind. There are other stories to tell and characters that haven't even been written yet."

This comes after Parker revealed she isn't ready to throw away her Manolo Blahniks and would happily reprise her role as style icon Carrie Bradshaw, as long as the sequel happened in the near future.

She confessed: "A part of me thinks there is one last chapter to tell. But timing is a peculiar thing. It isn't a decision that can wait forever. I don't want to have to wear muumuus [a loose dress that hangs from the shoulders]!"
