Save the Post-It, because Kim Cattrall is leaving long About his thoughts on “Sex and the City” and its HBO Max revival series, “And Just Like That.”
The actor, who was once one of the franchise’s main four stars, bid adieu to his character Samantha Jones long ago, controversially opting out of a third “SATC” film amid an ongoing drama with series star Sarah Jessica Parker. Went.
“The series is basically the third film. How creative it was,” Cattrall told Variety in a cover story released on Wednesday. “I was never asked to be a part of the reboot. I clarified my feelings after a possible third film, so I found out about it like everyone else did – on social media.
Over the years, reports have circulated about why Cattrall had no interest in reprising his role for another film. Now, she’s confirming that a “heartbreaking” story about Samantha getting “dick pics” from Miranda’s (Cynthia Nixon) teenage son really hit the final nail in the coffin.
Commenting that it was an “understatement” to say that her character was not progressing, Cattrall offered what she considered a more compelling arc.
“Why can’t Samantha, who owns her PR company – maybe she had to sell it because of the financial crisis? 2008 was tough,” Cattrall said. K was over the top, and I thought it was a good idea. This is a struggle. Instead of an underage boy…”
“I wanted some sort of event to guarantee a third film for all of us. It didn’t happen. But at the same time, I was ready,” she said. Standing up and not being bullied by the press or fans or anyone – just to say, I’m cool. I am on this track. It was great working with you. I had a lot of fun, but here I am.”
After ending the most universally infamous entry in the franchise “Sex and the City 2,” Cattrall said, “Everything inside me went, ‘I’m done.
“It’s a great wisdom to know when enough is enough,” she told the outlet. “I also didn’t want to compromise on what the show was to me. The road ahead was clear.”
As for the revival series, which is set to return for a second season, Cattrall revealed that it hasn’t watched a single episode, but has caught wind of some of its more confusing plot points.
Her character remains in the series — Parker’s Carrie communicates with Samantha via text throughout the season — which Cattrall said was “weird” and “feels different from the Samantha I played.”
Despite the ongoing story, Cattrall stated that she would never return to play Samantha in any future iterations of the show, adding that she “came to the conclusion that it was in fact my greatest achievement as an actor.” Appreciation can be missed.”
“I think the original show is really wonderful, but that was a different time,” she said. “Saying no is powerful.”
