Kim Cattrall shades ‘Sex and the City’ 3 script: ‘Ha!!!’
Damn, Sam.
Kim Cattrall seemingly shaded the scrapped third “Sex and the City” movie, which reportedly didn’t get off the ground because of Cattrall’s own “outrageous demands.”
Writer Evan Ross Katz tweeted a cheeky meme Wednesday of the singer Shakira wearing a white coat dress featuring a large “NO” across the front to Paris haute couture fashion week.
“Kim Cattrall after reading the SEX AND THE CITY 3 script,” Katz jokingly wrote in the caption — implying that Cattrall loudly said “no” to the project.
And, perhaps a bit shockingly, Cattrall replied to the tweet with “Ha!!!”
The Post reached out to reps for Cattrall, 66, for comment.
The Daily Mail reported in 2017 that Cattrall’s “demands,” including telling Warner Bros to make other projects she had in development, shelved the third movie shortly before filming began.
“The only reason this movie isn’t being made is because of Kim Cattrall,” an unidentified source sniffed to the outlet. “Everyone was looking forward to making this movie but Kim made it all about her, always playing the victim.”
Cattrall, who played sultry publicist Samantha Jones, took to Twitter to deny the claims. She also told Piers Morgan that she didn’t want to film the movie in the first place.
“The answer was always no,” Cattrall told Morgan in 2017. “I never asked for any money, I never asked for any projects. To be thought of as some kind of diva is ridiculous.”
She also alleged during the interview that none of her co-stars had reached out to her amid the scathing reports.
“Nobody ever picks up the phone and tries to contact you and say, ‘How you doing?’ That would have been the way to handle it,” she added. “This is, it feels like, a toxic relationship.”
She even shared that she and Sarah Jessica Parker have “never been friends,” seemingly confirming rumors of an ongoing feud between them.
Parker later said during an appearance on “Watch What Happens Live” that she found the statement “upsetting.”
Things got awkward again when Cattrall’s younger brother, Chris, died in 2018. Cattrall took to Instagram to blast Parker for speaking about him in a televised interview.
So, when it was announced in 2020 that there would be a reboot of the hit 1998 series, Cattrall did not sign on to the project.
Instead, the first season of “And Just Like That…,” which premiered in 2021 on HBO’s streaming platform, Max, only featured the returns of Parker as Carrie Bradshaw, Kristin Davis as Charlotte York, and Cynthia Nixon as Miranda Hobbes.
But in May, The Post exclusively revealed that Cattrall would reprise her role in a cliffhanger cameo this season.
According to one source, the appearance was kept so “hush-hush” that her name didn’t even appear on the call sheet for the day.
During a recent interview on “The View,” Cattrall explained that she went back on one condition — that her friend and designer Patricia Field outfit her.
“I just thought, ‘If I’m going to come back, I got to come back with that kind of Samantha style,’” she said. “I got to push it. And we did.”
She also divulged that it was HBO and Max chief content officer Casey Bloys who made the ask.
“It’s very interesting to get a call from the head of HBO saying, ‘What can we do?’” Cattrall said during the interview. “And I went, ‘Hmmm … let me get creative.’”
It’s unclear if Cattrall will make more appearances on the reboot.
Many of her “Sex and the City” co-stars have weighed in on her cameo, including Parker.
She described Cattrall’s return as “really fun and exciting and certainly nostalgic,” according to the Daily Mail.
“Sex and the City” ran on HBO for six seasons, from 1998 to 2004. Movies followed in 2008 and 2010. Season 2 of “AJLT” premiered last month.
