Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman cast a spell on CinemaCon in yesterday with a first look at Practical Magic 2.
While the footage was exclusive to the Las Vegas event, THR reports that the actresses shared new details on the sequel to the 1988 supernatural romantic comedy.
Set 25 years after the events of the original film, Bullock and Kidman reprise their roles as Sally and Gillian Owens. The witch sisters “have our past catching up with us and we have our destinies and we have our family,” Kidman said.
“Sally is single, and if you know the original film, you can probably guess why,” Bullock teased, alluding to the fate of Gary Hallet, her character’s love interest played by Aidan Quinn in the first film.
Sally now has two daughters, played by Joey King and Maisie Williams, to whom she passes down the familial curse. Gillian, meanwhile, has a black cat.
“Everyone we love dies,” Sally explains to a new character played by Lee Pace. “A really horrible death. It’s not great for the Tinder bio,” Gillian adds.
Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing are back as Aunt Jet and Aunt Frances, rounding out the three generations of witches in the Owens house.
Based on Alice Hoffman‘s 2021 novel The Book of Magic, Practical Magic 2 is due out September 11 via Warner Bros.
Susanne Bier (Bird Box) directs from a script by Akiva Goldsman (I Am Legend), who co-wrote the original, and Georgia Pritchett (“Succession”).
A Practical Magic stage musical is also in the works.
