Summary
- Original 'Practical Magic' stars reunite for sequel after 28 years.
- The first film was a critical and box office failure but gained cult status.
- The sequel is based on Alice Hoffman's novel 'The Book of Magic'.
Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock are reprising their roles as the sibling witches in "Practical Magic 2," 28 years after the original film's release. The first "Practical Magic" was initially met with poor reviews and box office performance but has since garnered a significant cult following over the past three decades.
Bullock recalled their initial high hopes for the film, noting the unexpected quiet reception it received. She emphasized the crucial role of director Griffin Dunne in creating the film's world and allowing the actresses to shine, stating he deserved recognition for his contribution. Kidman echoed this sentiment, highlighting Dunne's supportive approach.
The decision to create a sequel now was described as serendipitous, with both actresses feeling ready and circumstances falling into place naturally. "Practical Magic 2" is adapted from Alice Hoffman's novel "The Book of Magic" and will feature returning cast members Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest, alongside new additions like Joey King and Maisie Williams.
