'Sex and the City' Director Kills Death Rumours

(andPOP) - Some "Sex and the City" fans may be burying their heads in shoe boxes to avoid any spoilers about the upcoming movie, but it may not be necessary.

Director-producer Michael Patrick King has killed the rumour about the death of an unnamed character.

"It's a summer movie," he told Yahoo! News. "Why would I want to kill anyone?"

King did say that killing Mr. Big - heroine Carrie's long-time love - was considered, but he didn't think it would go over well with the audience.

"I did want an emotional roller-coaster, but my ultimate target was to make our 'girlfriends' — in other words, our audience — happy. And I don't think Mr. Big dying would make them happy.

"I would have been chased around the planet by women with torches."
