Sarah Jessica Parker reacts to Family Stone sequel after Diane Keatons death

And just like that… fans are getting a sequel to this 2005 rom-com.Sarah Jessica Parker addressed making another “Family Stone” 21 years later, this time without the beloved Diane Keaton, who died at age 79 in October.“I’m so excited…but it’s a rather bittersweet quandary given the loss of Diane Keaton,” the actress, 60, told Variety on Tuesday.

“But it was a very special group of actors, and prior to Diane’s passing, there had been conversations with everybody, so I hope that we’ll be able to.The hardest thing is everybody’s schedules.”The Christmas comedy follows Everett Stone (Dermot Mulroney) and his girlfriend, Meredith Morton (Parker), who head to Connecticut to meet his family.
