Sarah Jessica Parker says there won’t be a new ‘Sex and the City’ film without Kim Cattrall.
The 53-year-old actress became a star all over the world due to her portrayal of writer Carrie Bradshaw on the TV series and two HBO films and a third cinema installment was being planned until Kim, 62, pulled out of the project last September with some reports claiming she had made a series of demands for Warner Bros. to produce her future movies which were refused.
Following the news the movie was dead, Kim denied she had made those demands and claimed Sarah could have been "nicer" during the whole ordeal, going on to suggest there was an "issue" between them throughout the HBO series’ entire run, something with Sarah insisted was not her experience of their relationship.
Rumours were rife that a new actress could play Kim’s alter ego Samantha Jones, but Sarah has now addressed that possibility insisting it’s not an option for her.
Instagram user @energylover2012 messaged the ‘Divorce’ star to say: "You are still my hero. please replace or write her out kim/samantha if she is not interested and bring back sex and the city movie #3. the fans need this (sic)"
Prompting Sarah to reply: "@energylover2012 not sure I can imagine doing another movie without her x (sic)"
Although the movie is dead, much to the disappointment of Sarah and Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon, who play the other main cast members Charlotte York Goldenblatt and Miranda Hobbes, the actress has an idea of how ‘Sex and the City’ could make a return.
Reflecting on the fact the show focused on four white professional women and lacked diversity, Sarah said: "You couldn’t make it today because of the lack of diversity on screen. I personally think it would feel bizarre.
"If you came back and did six episodes, you’d have to acknowledge the city is not hospitable to those same ideas. You’d look like you were generationally removed from reality, but it would be certainly interesting to see four diverse women experiencing NYC their way … It would be interesting and very worthwhile exploring, but it couldn’t be the same."
