Sarah Jessica Parker thinks there is one more story left in the SATC franchise
Sarah Jessica Parker thinks there is one more story left in the SATC franchise
These are photos of Sarah Jessica Parker in NYC yesterday, filming that romantic comedy she’s doing with Pierce Brosnan. In some of the shots, she’s fake-crying. At least, I hope that’s her “rom-com fake cryâ€� because if that’s really her emoting… well… yikes. Anyway, I think I mentioned this a couple of months ago, but I finally got around to watching Sex and the City 2. I have to say, I actually enjoyed it much more than the first one. The first movie was just Carrie whining and acting like an aâ€"hole for two and a half hours. While SATC 2 had huge, gigantic problems (like racism, narcissism, ugly Americanism), at least the pace was quick and I actually laughed at a few parts. Coming out of the film, though, I had one thought: “Well, they did it. They finally killed it. A once beloved franchise is now dead.â€� Not so fast! SJP was just interviewed by the LAT, and she thinks there’s “one more story to tell.â€� UGH. Just burn it with fire, SJP.
The prospects for another “Sex and the City� movie have been in question ever since the diminished box-office dollars and lukewarm reviews for “Sex and the City 2″ began coming in last spring. But Sarah Jessica Parker, who produced as well as starred in the two Michael Patrick King creations, said this week she’s not willing to give up on the franchise just yet.
“I would go back,� said Parker, speaking to 24 Frames on the New York set of her new movie, the working-woman comedy “I Don’t Know How She Does It.� “I think http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/movies/2011/02/sex-and-the-city-3-satc-carrie-bradshaw-blake-lively-sarah-jessica-parker.html. I know there is.�
The second “SATC� ended with Parker’s Carrie Preston and Chris Noth’s Mr. Big reconciling their marriage differences after said nuptials faced a threat from Carrie’s former beau Aidan. Over six TV seasons and two movies, however, there have been no children (yet) for the former Miss Bradshaw, something that a third film could explore.
But Parker, taking on her biggest film role with “I Don’t Know How She Does Itâ€� â€" in which she stars in pretty much every scene â€" said she may not be interesting in reprising her iconic role at this point in her career.
“I’d definitely tell that [third] story, and I know Michael would do it right. But maybe not now. Maybe in five years, you know?� she said.
Parker explained that the impulse to wait came from a desire to feel challenged in her work.
“It’s not that I want to get away from [SATC]. In a million years, who could get away from it?� she said. It’s just that “if I’m not scared again that’s not good for me. That’s literally no good for me. If I’m not terrified and nauseous and worried the first two weeks of production, then what’s going to happen? You could wither on the vine. It’s like if you can’t use your leg. It just atrophies.�
Some reports have said that a new movie would, in the manner of so many Hollywood franchises, take the shape of a prequel, with Blake Lively taking on the role of a young Carrie Bradshaw. (Candace Bushnell is set to publish “Summer and the City,� about a 19-year-old Carrie’s move to New York that said movie would be based on.) Parker said she was pretty taken aback by those reports.
“I was like, Wha-a-a-a-t?’ â€� the actress said. She said she wasn’t opposed to the idea of a “Sex and the Cityâ€�-type story with twentysomethings â€" she just didn’t feel it should feature specifically SATC characters, especially since both the TV series and the movies explained some of those characters’ backstories.
“There are a lot of important and interesting stories that 21-year-olds can tell,� Parker said. “I don’t begrudge any 21-year-old the opportunity to tell their stories. They prove to us on an everyday basis that they’re interesting. Even their narcissism is interesting. Even their inertia is interesting. Even their tonal speech patterns are interesting.
“But I don’t think we can pretend to go back,� she continued. “It’s creating two histories. It’s like, ‘Oh I didn’t know that about Carrie Bradshaw.’ “

Okay, that interview was kind of hilarious. At first SJP is all “I love SATC, I would never run away from it, we’ll totally do another movie� and then the dark side rises and she starts talking about feeling atrophied. Also, I find this to be hilariously bitchy: “I don’t begrudge any 21-year-old the opportunity to tell their stories. They prove to us on an everyday basis that they’re interesting. Even their narcissism is interesting. Even their inertia is interesting. Even their tonal speech patterns are interesting.� LMAO. That’s her polite way of saying “These young, lazy, vapid, narcissistic whores have a place in society too. I‘m hip, I swear.�

Racism? Lol, I thought they showed how people in the Middle-East are just like us….with some minute cultural differences. Keeps things fun and interesting. Love cultural differences. The second one was great and the first one was way too depressing. It’s like the writers forgot how to write for Sex in the City. Sex in the City has been sad, but turning a guy we thought was decent into a adulterer?!?! Really? This is great…Pierce and Sarah…I think they are both great. Sarah is such a doll! Love her to death.
She looks exactly like my future mother-in-law and I honestly don’t know if I mean that as a compliment and for whom.
But that franchise is dead; let it rest with what little dignity it has left.
Haha, I think “Even their tonal speech patterns are interesting.� - might be a jab at the rumor that Blake Lively was being approached to play a young Carrie Bradshaw in a set of this movie series. Eh, I may be over-reaching.
SATC 2 was so bad that they (SJP and et al) killed what was once my favorite series:(
I swear if Carrie and Big have a baby in the 3rd movie, I’ll barf…hell will have definitely froze over! Is that the story she wants to tell?
final installment of satc to be titledâ€"
