"It’s over. We’re not doing it," Sarah Jessica
Parker, who played Carrie Bradshaw in the 1990s TV series and
two subsequent feature films, told celebrity TV outlet Extra on
Thursday.
“I’m disappointed. We had this beautiful, funny, heartbreaking,
joyful, very relatable script and story. It’s not just
disappointing that we don’t get to tell the story and have that
experience, but more so for that audience that has been so vocal
in wanting another movie,” she added
The prospects of a final reunion between the TV show's four
original stars Parker, Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin
Davis, have been discussed for years, despite the lukewarm
critical reception to the 2010 movie sequel "Sex and the City
2," which was set in Abu Dhabi.
Parker gave no details about why the plans had been shelved but
Cattrall on Friday shrugged off media reports that she was
responsible, while making clear she was not in favor of it.
"The only 'DEMAND' I ever made was that I didn't want to do a
3rd film....& that was back in 2016," Cattrall said on Twitter.
HBO's "Sex and the City" comedy series ran from 1998-2004, won
multiple Emmy awards and was credited with capturing an
empowering era for young women, and for its frank sex scenes.
Each of the actresses, now in their 50s or 60s, have blown hot
and cold since 2010 about whether its time to say goodbye to
their gossipy, fashion-loving New York characters.
Warner Bros, the Hollywood studio behind the first two movies,
had no comment on Friday.
