Gilles Marini, known for starring in Sex and the City: The Movie, spoke about how the iconic show’s reboot is overdue for a change, in a U.S. Sun interview. “Everything takes its time. It goes up, and then it goes down [in popularity]. We have to know and understand when it’s time to go,” he said. The reboot, And Just Like That... has garnered harsh feedback from viewers. Fans found the show “insufferable,” with writers being blamed for insulting the intelligence of the shows beloved characters and even accidentally killing off one character twice. Marini agrees that the show is in need of something “fresh,” potentially by focusing on different characters besides Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw. “The storyline has to be completely shattered.” The actor got a significant boost to his career after playing Dante, the love interest of Samantha, played by Kim Cattrall. His famous naked shower scene has opened doors for opportunities like a spot on reality show Dancing with the Stars and appearing in the series Brothers & Sisters. Despite the current direction of the Sex and the City franchise, Marini shared he would return if prompted. “I’d run to it. Absolutely. I think one of the most amazing things that I had the chance to do in my life was Sex And The City.”
