Sarah Jessica Parker Doesn't Want Tension with Kim Cattrall to "Eclipse" Sex and the City's Legacy
"I’d just like to remind everybody that there is no catfight," the Blue Night actress clarified.
Sarah Jessica Parker stars in the film Blue Night, which just had its premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. And though the flick sounds riveting — it faces down life choices, a brain-cancer diagnosis, and more — fans are still hoping that another movie is in Parker's near future. And, yes, that film is the would-be Sex and the City 3.
While speaking to Vulture about Blue Night and the future of SATC, Parker said, "If [Kim Cattrall] chooses not to do the third [Sex and the City] movie, there's not a lot I can do to change her mind and we must respect it ... Whether we choose to revisit it at another time and reimagine that story — that's something [producer] Michael [Patrick King] and I just haven't talked about yet, that doesn't mean we won't."
And though Parker and Cattrall have allegedly had a rocky past — and Cattrall publicly called Parker "cruel" — SJP insists that there is no catfight. "I’ve never fought with someone publicly in my life, nor would I. And I spent time with all of the women on the set. People need to recall that it wasn’t just two women on the set fighting because that just never happened," Parker clarified. "We are enormously proud of what we got to do ... we spent 10, 12 years of our life doing something that I really loved and I feel privileged to be part of and I don’t want this to eclipse it or change its experience for that audience that was so good to us for so long."
Speaking of the other women on the set, Parker is still close with her longtime friend Cynthia Nixon. Nixon recently announced her run for governor of New York.
"Cynthia and I have been friends since we were 11 years old[;] she’s one of the smartest women I’ve ever met," Parker said. "She’s formidable and she will work incredibly hard and this will be a really, really interesting and exciting time for New York voters ... She will look for opportunities where I can be supportive of her, I will, but my aim is to do no harm."
