The lovely Kim Cattrall who plays fabulous Samantha Jones in the upcoming Sex and the City Movie is pictured above being attacked by an animal rights activist while wearing a white fur coat, during filming in New York recently. Her face in the far right picture is hilarious — classic Samantha! Cattrall recently revealed in an interview with British mag Reveal that she is only doing the SATC Movie for the money.
Cattrall famously negotiated hard over payment for the film, and reportedly had a bust up over Parker’s $US3 million salary - twice that of her co-stars. She told Reveal magazine: “It will be nice to step into Samantha’s shoes again, but I’m only doing it for the money. Samantha is very dear to me and I have such a wonderful time playing her, but I can say for experience than wanting financial security. We did it, we did it well. But it was always about the money.” She continued: “When I made a stand about not being in the movie because I thought the money was terrible, there was a backlash of very negative things from some of my co-stars. The role is very much a double-edged sword.”
Cattrall also said viewers can expect her popular character to ring in an important milestone in the upcoming film. She said: “I really wanted Samantha to turn 50 in the film and she does, so I’m grateful for that. I’m glad she isn’t hiding her age. “After 50, you can still be a woman - you can go shopping, have friends and do lunch. At 50 - you can love and be loved.”
Well, at least she’s honest. I’m so glad she’s in the movie, it wouldn’t have been the same without Miss Samantha Jones.
