Sarah Jessica Parker felt 'really sad saying goodbye to Mr. Big'
The 60-year-old actress' on-screen character, Carrie Bradshaw, dated Mr. Big in 'Sex and the City' and 'And Just Like That..' - but the character was cut from the show after co-star Chris Noth was accused of sexual assault back in 2021.
Speaking of Carrie and Mr. Big's relationship, Sarah told E! News: "It was romantic, and it was a disaster.
"It was destructive, and it was healthy. Big dying was really, really hard to do both professionally and personally. That's not just a thread. It's one of the main arteries that you would struggle to do without."
Sarah enjoyed the storyline of Carrie and Mr. Big's turbulent relationship, and she's found it hard to move on from their on-screen romance.
The actress said: "It was really sad to say goodbye to that. It's not like I needed it for my own health or wellbeing, but that was a hugely wonderful story to tell for a lot of years."
Chris was accused of sexual assault by multiple women in December 2021.
The allegations led to him being axed from the second season of 'And Just Like That...'. However, Chris denied the allegations, describing them as "categorically false".
He said in a statement at the time: "These stories could've been from 30 years ago or 30 days ago – no always means no – that is a line I did not cross.
"The encounters were consensual. It's difficult not to question the timing of these stories coming out. I don't know for certain why they are surfacing now, but I do know this: I did not assault these women."
In 2022, Sarah revealed that she cut all ties with Chris after the allegations emerged.
Asked how she reacted to the news as a producer of the show, Sarah told The Hollywood Reporter: "I don't even know if I'm ready to talk about it, but I don't think … I wasn't reacting as a producer."
Sarah admitted that she still found it hard to discuss the subject.
She said: "I should have worked on this [answer] because I'm just … it's just..."

Melbourne Royal Show 2025: ticket prices frozen, new LEGO farm announced
Don't miss out on the headlines from News. Followed categories will be added to My News. Melbourne Royal Show has frozen tickets at 2024 prices and will be selling food for as little as $3.50 when the much-loved 11-day event kicks off next month. Children under five will enter for free, while early birds will be able to snare tickets for less than last year, with prices at $39.60 for adults and $20.80 for children. Melbourne Royal says the reasoning behind the price freeze is that it wanted to 'keep the magic of the show accessible for all Victorians'. 'We have listened to customer feedback and not increased general admission tickets this year, we are offering bigger savings on early bird tickets, and introduced a Flexi-Ticket for those who want to get their ticket early but are unsure which day they may attend,' Melbourne Royal chief executive Brad Jenkins said. More than 400 showbags, 55 rides and 80 food and beverage outlets will be on offer, with Mr Jenkins adding that more than 400,000 people are expected to attend from Thursday, September 25 to Sunday, October 5. One of the big new experiences to be revealed this year will be the never-before-seen Lego Duplo Farm, along with a new world-class Illusionist show. Kids can get up close and cuddly with thousands of animals at the Little Farmers Field, where they can feed friendly baby animals, shear a sheep, dig up vegies, collect eggs and ride a Kubota tractor. A new daily farmers' barbecue will be added to the food precinct, with $3.50 sausages up for grabs, with proceeds going towards the Melbourne Royal Foundation. All food trucks are also stocking a healthy item option for under $10. 'Come with family and friends to see the animals, farm experiences, stay to enjoy spectacular entertainment and fireworks and leave with a showbag or two, a huge smile and a lifetime of wonderful memories,' Mr Jenkins said. Thrillseekers can also take advantage of an unlimited ride pass on day one of the show for $50 for kids shorter than 120cm, and $75 for everyone else. And the beloved Bertie Beetle Showbag will return at the same price as last year, along with a number of other sweet-treat options, all priced at $5.

Sebastian Stan to star in new Frankenstein movie
Sebastian Stan is set to star in a new Frankenstein movie from Dracula director Radu Jude. The moviemaker premiered his new take on Bram Stoker's Dracula at the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland on Sunday (10.08.25) and he's now revealed he's working on a revamped version of Mary Shelley's classic novel Frankenstein which will be set in Romania. He told The Hollywood Reporter: "I'm writing a film now. It's a Frankenstein film in Romania. Frankenstein in Romania, it's going to be called." Jude told the publication he pitched the idea to Stan - who was born in Romania - and he liked the idea and his plan is to have the actor play both roles of scientist Victor Frankenstein and his monster. It will follow another new version of the story - Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein - which stars Oscar Isaac as the creator and Jacob Elordi as the monster and is set to be released at the end of August. Elordi recently admitted he binge-watched all of the previous Frankenstein to help him get his version of the monster right. He told Vanity Fair magazine: "I devoured all of his monsters. At first I thought, I'll stay away from this. I want to do my own thing. And then I asked Guillermo: 'Should I watch the other Frankensteins?' And he goes: 'What the f*** do you mean?' I was like: 'Well, I don't want it to be influenced.' "He says: 'My friend, it's a movie, it can't f****** hurt you.' I went home and I just binged them." Andrew Garfield had previously been hired to play the role but he was forced to exit the project because of delays from the 2023 Hollywood strikes - and Del Toro is thankful to Elordi for stepping in at such short notice. He added to the publication: "Andrew Garfield stepping out and Jacob coming in. I mean, it was like Jacob is the most perfect actor for the creature. "And we have a supernaturally good connection. It's like, very few words. Very few things I have to say, and he does it ... "We recast, and we had nine weeks. You can't be under more pressure than that."

‘Weapons' Review: Elevated Horror, But Fun

Learn more. For more information on how we test products, click here. Weapons is a film I've been looking forward to for a while. When I saw the initial teaser trailer, which shows off the main hook of the whole movie—a class of kids get out of bed at 2:17am and run into the night, disappearing into the dark, leaving a community grasping for answers—I was sold. Now, after having seen the movie, I can say the wait was worth it. Ostensibly in the same universe as director Zach Creggar's previous film, Barbarian, Weapons skirts the line between multiple genres, flipping between character study, body horror, chilling mystery, and deep shades of dark comedy. That'd be a tall order for most movies, but somehow Creggar nails the execution: in my theatre, you could hear a pin drop when Weapons wanted to be tense, and enjoyed bouts of laughter in moments of levity. By the time the credits rolled, people were clapping with joy. That's not how horror movies tend to end, but Weapons there's a reason why this film opened at the top of the box office: it's really good. With a mystery at its core, Weapons works best when you don't have the 'twist' spoiled before you go in, so if you're at all interested in seeing the movie before comparisons to other movies start to unravel what is going on here, I recommend you make the time. With that out of the way, let's talk Weapons. Weapons (2025) | Image: Warner Bros. Genre-Bending Horror Weapons is unabashedly a horror movie, and a very competent one at that, but much of what makes this movie work is how fluidly it swings into other genres at a pretty regular clip. It's probably the funniest horror movie I've seen in a while, but it never feels unintentional: you're always laughing with the movie, not at it. Creggar has spoken about how the original script had jokes written into it (he was once in a comedy troupe, you know), but that they just weren't landing. So, instead, he gave the characters far more natural responses to situations which, in my opinion, delivered some serious moments of relatable humour. Brolin's character Archer awakening from a highly emotional and shocking dream, only to wait a beat before exclaiming, 'what the fuck!', is one of the most human moments I've seen in a horror movie in some time. That is exactly how a real person would respond to that dream, and echoes how you feel after watching it all play out: so much so that it elicited a genuine laugh from the audience, timed perfectly after a jump scare to ease the built-up tension. But Weapons isn't just tense and funny, it's also camp, and revels in the brutality of what can happen to a body when it is hit with enough force. There's some genuine gross-out moments here, but they never linger, and they're never a surprise. In fact, for a modern horror flick, the film shows a lot of restraint in the use of jump scares. I think I counted only three throughout the whole movie, and all of them are signposted so hard that it'd be tough to be caught off guard. Josh Brolin as 'Archer Graff' in 'Weapons' (2025) | Image: Warner Bros. Pictures A Character Study In the most surprising twist of all, Weapons is horror movie that lives and dies on its characters. This is a genre renowned for pitting trope-laden characters against trope-laden villains (Or, more recently, personifications of those characters' guilt or trauma), but Weapons manages to deliver a diverse cast of well-thought out and believable characters who, by the mid-way point of the film, have all endeared themselves to you. Or, at least they did to me. Every one of them acts in ways that make sense given what we know about them—a rarity in horror, where teenagers routinely head into haunted houses for 'fun', only to do incredibly stupid things in the name of our enjoyment. I expected Julia Garner and Josh Brolin to serve as the main driving force of the movie, and they kind of do, but Weapons gives equal weight to multiple POV characters throughout its runtime whose stories intersect with each other and the broader mystery of the missing kids, before all crashing together at the end for what will no doubt go down as one of the most wild and out-of-pocket endings to a horror movie in recent memory. Julie Garner as 'Justine Grady' in 'Weapons' (2025) | Image: Warner Bros. Pictures Garner absolutely kills it as the disgraced and somewhat-flirty Justine Gandy, whose classroom vanished and is now suspect number one for many parents, including Josh Brolin's grieving father Archer Graff. The interplay between an accuser and a suspect eventually bonding over their shared grief was interesting, and does serve as the backbone of a story with some human cost attached to it. But it was Alden Ehrenreich's police officer Paul and Austin Abrams' junkie James that really stole the show, in my eyes. Paul, a former addict turned cop, is clearly an unhappy man—he lies to and cheats on his wife, while working for her father, knowing full well the consequences of that. You get the feeling that his father-in-law got him the job to help Paul get his shit together, and that he's not really cut out to be a cop. James, on the other hand, is incredibly down on his luck, stealing anything he can get his hands on to pawn for the chance of a hit of a drug addiction that is clearly in full control, but is also often the funniest character on screen. Knowing that Abrams is the lead in Creggar's next film, a new, more grounded interpretation of the Resident Evil series, actually has me incredibly excited to see what the pair can do together. Then, we have the sole remaining child from Gandy's class, Alex Lilly played by Cary Christopher, and his aunt, Amy Madigan's Gladys Lilly, who deliver standout performances. A movie centred on kids can often live or die on its child actors, and Christopher nailed it. Weapons (2025) | Image: Warner Bros. Elevated Horror, but Fun A lot of horror movies tend to feel cheaply made, but Weapons is about as well-crafted, shot, and edited as you could want. The shot composition is often fantastic, and though the movie is often very dark (due to people skulking around at night, or in a boarded up house), it never felt like I was missing important information about what was happening by way of poor lighting. It's clear a lot of love went into Weapons, and what has resulted is something that takes the best parts of the 'elevated horror' boom without hitting you over the head with its metaphors. Yes, almost every character in Weapons has a relationship with alcohol or drugs. Yes, there's a lot of talk of parasites that slowly kill their hosts. Yes, Creggar wrote Weapons while grieving the passing of a friend, and that through-line of unexpected and sudden loss, and a subsequent search for answers, is front and centre. But those inklings of trauma and grief are only ever used to support the movie: they never dominate it. Man of Many's Verdict I can't recommend Weapons enough, and feel as though it's one of the most creative movies I've seen in a long time: not only in the way it weaves multiple plots, genres, characters, and metaphors into something that never comes off as disjointed, but in just how much more it feels like Creggar has left to give. It wasn't clear if Creggar could back up another great movie after the success of Barbarian, but Weapons is essentially a better movie in every way. Get to the theatre before someone spoils the fun for you. ★★★★☆
