Echoing comments made by Kristen Davis, Cattrall recently expressed skepticism about a Sex and the City 3. Speaking to Popeater, the actress said, "I don't know if it will happen. I really, really have no idea." Following the release of the film last summer, the actress seemed quite confident about future installments, saying, "We'll tell stories as long as they're there to tell," but New Line was quick to shut project rumors down. As for whether or not she would be up for another movie is another question, however, Cattrall saying, "I love playing Samantha Jones. I would love playing Samantha Jones again, but I don't know if I will."
"Originally I was asked to do the movie with no script no start date and a very paltry sum. I thought the three of us should fight for a piece of what we created and that was my reluctance," Cattrall said during a press conference for the film at the Hyatt Regency Aruba. "The four of us were not set for life. We were on cable TV and we were not making nearly what our counterparts in television were making. I thought we were working damn hard and it was the time to negotiate that."
Cattrall plays the opposite of the headstrong publicist Samantha Jones as a washed up porn star, aptly named Monica Velour, in her latest flick, which forced her to gain 20 lbs.
"They asked me to gain 30 but I didn't want to make myself sick," Cattrall said. "We made a deal saying I would gain 15 lbs before the film and 5 lbs during. But I did enjoy grabbing my stomach and feeling what that extra weight felt like."
With 'Monica Velour,' Cattrall gains some serious street cred as a screen actress, something she shelved decades ago in order to pay rent and, as she says, support her low-paying "theater habit."
