Sex and the City fans are still coping from the news that a third movie isn’t happening (despite a supposedly phenomenal script existing). The reason why they aren’t moving forward is unclear, but several stories pointed to Kim Cattrall. However, the actress, who played Samantha Jones for six glorious seasons, shot down reports that her “demands” are what ultimately killed the project. She appeared on Piers Morgan’s ITV series Life Stories and said she’s never expressed interest in doing a third film; her answer, when producers came calling, was always a “respectful but firm ‘no.'” It has nothing to do with money or screen time or her relationships with the other women; she just wants to move on from the role.
But this isn’t stopping tabloids and social media from pitting Cattrall against Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis, and Cynthia Nixon. Rumors of tension between Cattrall and her costars have existed for years, but both she and Parker have dismissed them. Of course, Cattrall didn’t really help her case when she told Morgan that Parker “could’ve been nicer” about the whole SATC 3 drama. It’s a harmless comment, but the media took it out of context and made it seem like Cattrall hated her onscreen BFF.
And they’ll probably do the same with Cattrall’s most recent comment about Parker, Nixon, and Davis. In her interview with Morgan, Cattrall says she was “never friends” with the other gals in the Sex and the City quartet.
“We’ve never been friends. We’ve been colleagues, and in some ways it’s a very healthy place to be because then you have a clear line between your professional life and relationship and your personal,” Cattrall told Morgan, according to the New York Daily News.
Contrary to what you’ll probably read elsewhere, this comment isn’t mean, instigating, or rude. Cattrall is simply like the millions of people who are professional and congenial to their coworkers, but that’s it. There’s nothing wrong or cruel about that. In fact, this can actually be a good thing; like Cattrall said, it helps keep your professional and personal lives separate. Don’t read too much into this.
That being said, these SATC 3 stories are just a sad reminder that the last memory we’ll have of this series is Miranda saying “Abu-Dhabi-doo.”
