Imagine our excitement when this on-set pic of Sarah Jessica Parker landed at ELLE HQ.

...But alas, it's not the one we've been waiting for.

Rather than the cameras rolling on the (heavily) rumoured Sex and the City 3 movie, the actress is on location in Italy, working on her new film All Roads Lead To Rome.

In it, she plays an uptight American, Maggie, who embarks on a road trip with her former lover and daughter, played by Raoul Bova and up-and-coming British star Rosie Day respectively.

That's not to say, though, that a potential SATC revival is on the backburner.

Before leaving NY, SJP posted yet another Instagram tease - a line of SJP Collection shoes 'promenading' around Carrie's old 'hood.
