Kim Cattrall to 'Sex and the City' Fans: It's Time to Move On

.@KimCattrall: "I've played 'SAM' for 20 years. [I'm] moving on and so should you" https://t.co/aCHxWACjFi #SATC

Looks like we wont be seeing Kim Cattrall reprising her Sex and the City character anytime soon. Kim Cattrall was asked on twitter "So I've seen you doing interviews on ageism yet I see you on Insta saying you too old to play Samantha? I'm so confused!"

Josh, I've played 'SAM' for 20 years. Am moving on & so should you. Try #SensitiveSkin my show on @Netflix https://t.co/mJYOybZMi8

In the past couple of weeks, there have been a series of accusations that Kim would only do SATC 3 if the studio would produce her films and the studio refused causing SATC to not go into production. Kim was asked about the accusations and said that SJP could have been "nicer" and also told Piers Morgan that the franchise should continue on without her, perhaps with "an African-American Samantha Jones or a Hispanic Samantha Jones" or even a new character. She added that none of her co-stars have contacted her directly and couldn't recall the last time she spoke to one of them.

Kim has been retweeting her thoughts on Twitter as well including this one taking aim at SATC 2.

Preach.... https://t.co/yowYZMlRv0

While Kim initially said she never wanted to do SATC 3.

Woke 2 a @MailOnline 💩storm! The only 'DEMAND' I ever made was that I didn't want to do a 3rd film....& that was back in 2016

Her former co-star is basically calling this a lie on Twitter.

Dear fans, because I'm "toxic", I'm going to negotiate a contract for 6 months, not come to terms, then say I never wanted to do it anyway.

She said yes to satc3 and negotiated for 6 months. The entire production was shut down because of her. Their entire crew was set to make the movie but she backed out at last minute.

She sucks.

hmmmmt

receipts?
(that bitter queen stanford doesn't count!)

Nnn, put me in a wig and cast me tbh, I'll take them coins.

That would be hilarious though if they got somebody totally different and just acted like nothing happened/

She was negotiating for what she felt was her worth. As any woman should do in that situation.

Agreed. And if she really wants to “let it go,” then let it go. There’s a new article about her discussing this every single day.

i can picture a scenario where she really didn't want to do it in the first place, tried to make an unappealing situation into a net win, and when that fell through, went back to square one. in any case, i don't blame her.

This! Thank you.

And fuck you, Willie.

Mmhmm. That’s my read, too.

This seems exactly like what happened. And honestly, the studio made a mistake if that's the case. They'd make money on SATC and Kim is an interesting artist who probably would have produced something interesting.

lol yup

Yeah but she didn't say no initially. She said yes and then backed out when everyone was ready, and acted like she never really wanted it

who are you talking to?

I'm going to believe them, but she has no obligation to to another movie. Just kill her character or say she's traveling and happy if you don't want to.

Seriously. I think the studio decided they didn't want to do it and is looking to scapegoat. They easily could have just said "Samantha's in the Bahamas!" and made a movie. It's not like SATC fans are going to be super into canon details.

wow drag me Kim.

you're dragged. tyvm

A third film is unappealing honestly. I can just rewatch old episodes if I feel the need.

Recast the bitch or kill her off.

Sam is the fun one, no movie without her.

And she's the most sincere friend too like wtf

pikapika217 Expand

Recast her with Rebel Wilson.

I'm gonna bet you didn't watch SATC2 because you'd know she was not fun anymore lol

Sis without Samantha the show wouldn't be even remotely as fun lol She's genuinely the BEST character along with Miranda

i agree. she doesn't seem to care about it anyway.

I think she has every right to not want to be involved with the project but after sixth months of negotiating, and then just bailing on everyone, she shouldn't have made that statement making it sound like she never showed interest. Someone just call Christina Aguilera and keep it pushing damn.

lol

I think a lot of people who get famous for one role in particular have trouble accepting that people aren't going to have remotely the same kind of response to their other roles. I get wanting to move on and do something different, but you can't be mad when your fans aren't doing the same.

It is time to move on, the show ended in 2004 and hasn't aged very well.

so many shows from that era have aged poorly tbh. friends, will and grace, sex and the city. hell i was watching old episodes of SVU the other day and the way they approached transexual men and women on that show was horrifying. stabler referred to some poor woman as a "he-she" ffs.

Golden Girls remain superior.

I haven't watched Will and Grace in ages but I definitely feel like that show would age badly maybe even more so than SATC, how is it watching in 2017?

the last new will & grace episode had me rolling with laughter. its better than ever!

it baffles me that people love will and grace (especially the karen character). it was already terribly racist, homophobic, etc. back then, it didn't just age poorly

WTF? I thought the show STARTED in 2004??

Apparently, I'm a lot younger than I thought.

She ain’t lying.

The show was significant in ways that many other shows were in the 90’s and early 00’s, but it’s aged in problematic ways and it is indeed time to move on. I say this as a stan.

Also, in before someone complains about Carrie asking Charlotte for money lmao

Carrie really did have some damn nerve. How about your 35 year old ass sell some of those damn shoes you'll never wear again??

I’m not saying otherwise lol but I think it’s hilarious how it’s the one thing all of ontd hates her for!

She did a lot of crazy things but that’s the one that people here can’t get over and I wonder if it says something about our collective ontd lives but yk... prob not

snowweisz Expand

Can you explain some problematic moments?

wavvy

second movie was a hate crime

truth

lmao this comment is killing me

LOL

that bad?

It's not just bad, it's offensive on so many levels. Racist, consumerist, trash. Turned the women into cartoon characters with no bigger problems than how to manage the domestic help or how to ensure your second home was properly secured.

rhenna_navi Expand

it was so boring. i can't even imagine where the third would take place. nursing home?

let her live

Side note - After talking in the last post I was thinking on making an ONTD original post about how Carrie was actually a gigantic asshole and a shitty friend LOL

Idk, I’d rather do the opposite and write about some moments when the (other) women were the best of friends for each other bc you never see men writing think pieces about horrible male characters but we’re always tearing down the problematic women as if they had no redeeming qualities

For me it's that Carrie hardly ever faced consequences for her bullshit. Who aside from Natasha read her and didn't apologize after??

aleksie Expand

that's better! i liked the scene where samantha babysat miranda's son

annpaulveal Expand

Carrie walking with Miranda at her mother’s funeral gets me every time.

there is a thread about this in every SATC post ever tbh

bicth Expand

The thing I always remember about her being a shitty friend was the time she screamed at Samantha for wearing a veil to her book launch and then screamed at her to put it back on when it was revealed her face was burned.

What an asshole.

onmyowndick

do it. i hated carrie so fucking much. she was horrible.

and you could always do a point counter point if you want. 1. carrie is horrid 2. be like miranda and charlotte (example where they weren't turds, and even there for each other)

do it! idc i'm allowed to hate fictional woman.

both movies sucked and should never have been made.

This. The second one was so awful people forget about how shit the first one was.
