Say it isn’t so! Candace Bushnell, author of ‘Sex and the City,’ doesn’t think there will be a third movie.
Fans who may have been hoping for a third movie in the Sex and the City franchise, shouldn’t hold their breath. Due to Sarah Jessica Parker’s age, Candace Bushnell, the author of Sex and the City, doesn’t think there will be a third installment on the big screen.
“No. Look, Sarah Jessica Parker is 47. I think with the second movie, Carrie Bradshaw couldn't be an ingenue anymore. But I think they were stuck doing what the audience wanted. Realistically, a middle-aged woman who was married without children would be much more focused on her career and less focused on this Mr. Big: ‘Does he love me?’ … ‘Does he still not love me?’ I mean, I think it was coming to the end of what they could do with the character,” Candace told The Daily Beast.
Some fans may celebrate this new development. While the first movie was loved by fans and critics, the second was panned across all platforms. Fans felt let down by the second installment, and the thought of a third movie may make some nervous.
Candace Bushnell: How I Would Have Changed The Second Movie
Candace doesn’t believe the girls should have left New York City in the sequel. If you recall, they traveled to Abu Dhabi and got into all sorts of shenanigans overseas.
“If it were up to me, the second movie would have been Carrie Bradshaw decides to run for mayor and Samantha helps her. It would get into some real issues of what happens when you're part of a relationship and the woman is ambitious. What does that do to her relationship with Mr. Big? To me, that would be interesting. But they were not going to go there,” Candace said.
Candace would have possibly also changed the end game for Carrie and Big if she directed the second film.
Carrie & Big Would’ve Never Ended Up Together In Real Life
“[Carrie and Big would not end up together in real life]. In real life, I don't think women end up with that character, and if they do, they usually get divorced after a year. He couldn't commit. Here's the thing. I think the character Carrie and Mr. Big, it became in the audiences' mind a very romantic story,” Candace added.
While we appreciate Candace’s opinions, we’d LOVE to have a SatC 3! And SJP is definitely not too old to win our hearts over again!
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Should there be a Sex and the City 3?
