Kim Cattrall Hinted At Her ‘And Just Like That…’ Negotiation Strategy Ahead Of Cameo Announcement

etcanada.com:

One of the most important rules in a negotiation is you have to be prepared to walk away from the table. This tactic, it seems, is not lost on Kim Cattrall.

While news broke last week that she reprised her role as Samantha Jones and filmed a short cameo for the second season of “And Just Like That…” — Max’s revival of HBO’s “Sex and the City” — she spoke out just a few weeks ago about how little interest she had in being a part of the new series. “I moved on,” Cattrall said of her time with the franchise, during an interview with the U.K.

Sunday Times in May. However, she seemingly hinted at some of the dealings and negotiations that have gone on during her time on the show when she added, “I think the greatest place to negotiate from, whatever the situation, is from strength and self-knowledge.” “At this point in my life I don’t want to be on a set and be unhappy,” she added, hinting at past tensions with co-star Sarah Jessica Parker. “I want it to be on terms that are artistically fulfilling and also that I am happy.” Cattrall reportedly shot only one scene for the episode and filmed her scene in one day back in March, Variety reports.

According to the New York Post — who were the first to break the news of the cameo on May 31 — her cameo was such a tightly kept secret that her name didn’t appear on the call-sheet and they took extra precautions to keep it under wraps.
