Sex and the City 3? Not happening, says Sarah Jessica Parker
Nostalgia may be all the rage these days with countless series being revisited all over film and television. But Sex and the City will not join them.
Dreams of a Sex and the City 3 film were dashed over the weekend when Sarah Jessica Parker told Extra that "it's over."
"It's over, we're not doing it," Parker, 52, said at the New York City Ballet Gala.
"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."
On Thursday, the Daily Mail reported that Sex and the City 3 was scrapped because actress Kim Cattrall refused to sign on.
Cattrall, who played the character Samantha, refuted the claims on Twitter early Friday. Sort of.
"The only 'DEMAND' I ever made was that I didn't want to do a 3rd film," Cattrall tweeted, "& that was back in 2016."
But one former co-star didn't necessarily agree.
Willie Garson, who played Stanford Blatch in the original series, confirmed the film's demise in a significantly shady way on Saturday.
"And that, is that," Garson tweeted. "And sadly, the reasons are true. Period..."
The TV show ran for six years between 1998 and 2004, following the lives of Carrie (Parker), Samantha, Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) as they struggled through the world of dating.
The leading foursome originally reunited when the show was transformed into a feature film in 2008, directed by Michael Patrick King.
Sex and the City 2 was released in 2010 to abysmal critical response and a running time of nearly two and a half hours. Still, the film made almost $US300 million at the box office.
