Sarah Jessica Parker can't wait to start shooting the 'Sex and the City' movie.

The actress - who played newspaper columnist Carrie Bradshaw in the hit US TV series - has been keen to take the series to the big screen since the show ended in 2004.

She told Elle magazine: "I am hopeful. I believe this time it's going to happen.

"I really wanted it to happen a few years ago and it was a bitter pill to swallow that it didn't."

She claims that while she and two of the show's other main stars, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon, had agreed to the movie, the programme's fourth star, Kim Cattrall, was initially reluctant.

She added: "You have to respect people's decisions. And one of us didn't want to do it at the time, meaning Kim Cattrall, for reasons that I didn't ask. It's not for me to talk anybody into anything ever — creatively, financially or whatever."

However, Kim - who played maneater Samantha Jones - had a change of heart and filming is now expected to start this September.

Meanwhile, Sarah says she and husband Matthew Broderick avoid appearing on the red carpet together.

Sarah - who has a four-year-old son, James, with Matthew - explained: "That's where the reporters get you. Suddenly it becomes, 'Oh, when are you guys going to have another baby?' "
