'Sex and the City' has "one story" left to tell, admits filmmaker Michael Patrick King.
The 59-year-old director insists the story of Carrie Bradshaw and her girlfriends Samantha Jones, Charlotte York and Miranda Hobbes - played by Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon respectively - isn't over, but remained cryptic about whether he would helm a sequel to 2010's 'Sex and the City 2'.
He told Entertainment Weekly: "The great gift or riches or luck is that I worked on two shows that were so full that they spilled over into people's lives and the characters were rounded enough that you could still wonder where they are.
"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 just yet and would happily reprise her role as style icon Bradshaw on the big screen - as long as the sequel happened in the near future.
She previously 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]!"

Lucas Till and Jane Levy are being targeted to star in 'Monster Trucks'.
Though Paramount have not yet officially green-lit the film - which has a budget of $100 million - the 'X-Men' actor and 'Suburgatory' star are said to be at the top of a wish-list for the lead roles in the film, which the studio hope will be the beginning of a multi-movie franchise, The Wrap reports.
The project is based on the popular Hasbro toy range and is described as a "cross between 'The Goonies' and 'Transformers'."
If they sign on for the film, Till's character would play a "bad boy with a good heart", while Levy would play a girl who is "what one might imagine Tina Fey was like in high school."
Till would have faced competition for the lead role from Dylan Minnette and Nick Robinson, but they signed on for rival projects 'Goosebumps' and 'Jurassic World' respectively.
Production on 'Monster Trucks' - which is being directed by 'Ice Age' filmmaker Chris Wedge - is scheduled to begin this summer.
'Kung Fu Panda' writers Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger have written the script, and Mary Parent will produce through her Disruption Entertainment banner.
'Monster Trucks' is scheduled for release on May 29 2015.

Roger Deakins will not be working on Bond 24.
The 64-year-old cinematographer who worked on 2012's 'Skyfall' will not team up with director Sam Mendes on the forthcoming 007 film, Hitflix's Kristopher Tapley has revealed.
He wrote on Twitter: "At dinner with Deakins last night I learned some news that makes me sad: He won't be shooting the next Bond. (sic)"
Deakins previously worked with Mendes on biographical drama 'Jarhead' and American drama 'Revolutionary Road'.
The 24th film in the 'James Bond' series will see Daniel Craig return as the fictional British spy with John Logan writing the script.

Leonardo DiCaprio was "terrified" at the prospect of going on stage at his first Academy Awards ceremony in 1994.
The 39-year-old star - who has been nominated for Best Actor for Martin Scorsese's 'The Wolf of Wall Street' at The Oscars 2014 - recalled the moment he learned he was in the line up for Best Supporting Actor for 1993's 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape', and was left "shocked" when he realised he would be in the limelight for "billions" of people to watch.
He told deadline.com: "Things just happened so quickly. Out of nowhere a nomination came about and I remember being completely shocked. My Leonardo-DiCaprio-Whats-Eating-Gilbert-Grape-first-reaction was being terrified of ever having to go up onstage in front of a billion people.
"Someone said 'a billion people watch this' and I thought, 'Oh my god, it's not like doing a movie where you get a second or third take'. Everyone's watching every word that you say. That was my initial reaction to it. It's a nerve-wracking thought."
DiCaprio recently hit the big screen as corrupt stockbroker Jordan Belfort in 'The Wolf of Wall Street' - which has also been nominated for Best Picture at the 86th Academy Awards, which DiCaprio co-produced - and since filming he hasn't started working on something else since he's waiting for "something to move" him.
He added: "I don't know when the next one is going to come up that I am equally obsessed with.... Right now I am just waiting for something to move me."

Anne Hathaway is to present an Oscar at the Academy Awards.
The 31-year-old actress - who co-hosted the ceremony with James Franco in 2011 - will take to the stage on March 2 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood to hand out a prize.
The brunette beauty won the Best Supporting Actress award last year for her role as Fantine in Tom Hooper's 'Les Misérables' and was also nominated for Best Actress for her leading role in 'Rachel Getting Married' in 2008.
Hathaway will join Daniel Day-Lewis and Jennifer Lawrence at the glamorous ceremony, which is being hosted by Ellen DeGeneres, as they will also hand out an honourable award.
Day-Lewis took home the third Oscar of his career last year for his performance as President Abraham Lincoln in Steven Spielberg's 'Lincoln', making him the first person ever to win the Best Actor award three times in the history of the Academy.
He also won the prize for 2007's 'There Will Be Blood' and 1989's 'My Left Foot', and has been nominated for his part in 'Gangs of New York' and 'In the Name of the Father' in previous years too.
Meanwhile, Laurence - who won an Oscar for widow Tiffany Maxwell in David O.Russell's 'Silver Linings Playbook' in 2013 - has been nominated for Best Supporting Actress for 'American Hustle' at the forthcoming 86th Academy Awards.
'American Hustle' and 'Gravity' are currently in the lead at this year's Oscars with ten nominations each, while '12 Years A Slave' follows closely behind with nine.

Jessica Brown Findlay flew her mum and childhood pal to America when she was filming 'A New York Winter's Tale'.
The former 'Downton Abbey' star - who was raised in Berkshire, south east England - makes her big screen debut in the forthcoming supernatural drama, alongside Hollywood hunk Colin Farrell, and she couldn't believe her luck when she found herself working on the film in the Big Apple.
The 24-year-old beauty said: "You're in a city that's just fantastic. I brought my mum over to visit me when I was filming and one of my best friends that I've known since I was nine. We grew up in the same village and we were running around New York together saying, 'How are we here?' It was fantastic and really fun."
Findlay didn't think she would get the role when she first auditioned for Beverly Penn, a dying girl who has tuberculosis, but was delighted when she learned she was cast.
She added: "Then, very quickly, I went to L.A. for the screen test, which was nerve-wracking. I just decided to have fun because I thought that there wouldn't really be any chance that I'd end up getting the role. But then I did.
"It was quite simple, but it was wonderful. I suppose sometimes you overthink things and maybe when you think you have no chance is when you're probably freer to do what you want to do."

Jack Reynor has been cast in 'Star Wars: Episode VII'.
The 22-year-old actor is set to star in J. J. Abrams sci-fi thriller, "two different sources" told aintitcool.com.
Reynor is set to hit the big screen as Shane Dyson in Michael Bay's 'Transformers: Age of Extinction' later this year alongside Mark Wahlberg and Nicola Peltz, and is currently filming 'Glassland'.

Mickey Rourke is in talks for 'Monkey's Nest'.
Retired boxer Ray Mancini wants the 61-year-old actor to star as the confidante of a single father who struggles to prevent his daughter from falling in love with a mob associate, in the new film which he is co-producing.
The 52-year-old sportsman hopes to make Rourke an offer "within weeks", according to the New York Post newspaper.
Mancini is convinced 'Monkey's Nest' has the elements needed for a successful film since it contains both action and romance.
He said: "It's a story of a father wanting the best for his child.
"There's action, there's romance ... it's a good story."
Rourke was catapulted to the spotlight in 80s films 'Barfly' and 'Angel Heart' but left acting and became a professional boxer in the early 90s.
The star made his comeback in Hollywood in 2005's crime thriller 'Sin City' before he won BAFTA award and Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in 2008's 'The Wrestler'.
More recently Rourke starred in 'Iron Man 2' and 'The Expendables'.
