Some even say that the HBO Max mini-series might be a flop like the second SATC film... Or the prequel, CW's The Carrie Diaries — slammed by means of SJP herself.
Starring AnnaSophia Robb, 27, because the younger Carrie, the spinoff had an insignificant 2-season run from 2013 to 2014. The primary reason why it was once canceled was a loss of viewership. Some have ruled it out as herbal destiny of maximum spinoffs. But others think the disapproval of the OG Carrie would possibly have sabotaged it. But what exactly did SJP say about the show? And did the creator of the books, Sex and the City and The Carrie Diaries agree with her? Here's the whole dish...
AnnaSophia Robb's Thoughts On Playing Young Carrie Bradshaw
Robb was 19 years previous when she performed the teenage Carrie — a 16-year-old recent high school graduate. "It's a dream come true," she told NY Daily News in 2013. The younger actress was confident and determined to deliver her personal take at the phase. "I try to watch an episode each night," she persevered. "It's to remind myself of the energy in the part, although I'm not trying to emulate SJP at all, that's not what anyone — Amy Harris (executive producer) or the studio — wants."
Of course, that was no coloration on SJP. The Bridge to Terabithia megastar even mentioned that her grownup Carrie "was a phenomenal, outstanding performance on its own." Robb clarified that she was once "just trying to capture some of its essence and energy" in some "sort of a combination of her in the original show and me as her younger version."
The Soul Surfer actress also published that she needed to modify to a whole new way of life. Originally from Denver, she said that shifting to New York had been a wild ride. "The paparazzi are not [great], but everything else has been amazing," she shared. "It definitely has been a transition — I don't think I've processed the whole thing, the move to New York, the show … I'm just sort of dazed and confused."
SJP Isn't A Big Fan Of 'Carrie Diaries'
During an interview with Net-a-Porter's The Edit, SJP admitted that it was once "odd" that some other actress was once taking up her iconic position. "I’m not sure… You know, I think it’s one of those tests of your generosity," stated the Hocus Pocus celebrity. "She [Robb] is a lovely girl and I want her to feel good about it, but it’s… odd." There wasn't any rift between the 2 actresses. In reality, Robb said that Parker had sent her a "very lovely note kind of giving me her blessing and encouraging me and saying how dear the part was for her."
Harris also confirmed Parker's reinforce in the making of the spinoff. "She told me how unbelievably proud she is and how grateful that it's me that's carrying on the torch," the manager producer mentioned of the SATC lead famous person. "She's been wonderfully magnanimous and it's been lovely and very scary for me because I take my responsibility very seriously." Harris was once behind the coming-of-age concept for Carrie Diaries. She said that "for people who have never seen Sex and the City, this is just a really great coming age story about a girl becoming a woman."
The Writer Of 'Sex And The City' Defended 'Carrie Diaries'
Former New York Observer columnist, Candace Bushnell, 62, did not accept as true with SJP's feedback on the prequel. The SATC and Carrie Diaries author even encouraged fans to watch the CW show. "The reality is, that’s showbiz," Bushnell told The Daily Beast in 2013. "Sarah Jessica’s first part was somebody else’s part. She played Annie on Broadway. She understands how these things work." The Daily Beast additionally wrote that the spinoff simplest had a median of one.5 million audience, leading to speculations that it would not be renewed for season 2.
"Look, Sarah Jessica Parker is 47," Bushnell added. "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." The writer also expressed her disapproval of a then-rumored section 3 in the SATC film franchise. She explained: "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," she persisted. In a contemporary interview, she stated she wasn't stricken about Samantha Jones being gone within the upcoming sequel. She additionally plans on staring at the restricted sequence. But once more, she said that "HBO’s going to make money on it" and that they are "going to exploit it as much as they can." Well, that's show trade.
