Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock are making a return in the long-awaited sequel, Practical Magic 2, nearly thirty years after the original film. Warner Bros has unveiled the first trailer for the upcoming movie, scheduled to hit theaters on September 11, generating immense excitement among fans.
Directed by Susanne Bier, known for her work with Sandra Bullock in Bird Box, the film revolves around the iconic Owens sisters as they confront a dark family curse with deep-rooted history that has haunted them for generations.
The trailer opens with Sally introducing the Owens family as infamous witches from Massachusetts, setting the stage for a narrative filled with moonlit mischief and ancient magic that threatens to unravel their lineage in a spellbinding cinematic experience.
Sandra Bullock, 61, and Nicole Kidman, 58, reprise their roles as Sally and Gillian Owens, respectively, in a story that picks up a quarter-century after the original events. While Sally’s daughters have grown up, Gillian has embraced a quieter life with her trusty black cat by her side.
However, tranquility eludes the sisters as a mysterious new character portrayed by Lee Pace emerges, hinting at impending trouble. Notably absent is Aidan Quinn’s Investigator Gary Hallet from the first film, leaving fans curious about his fate and the impact on breaking the curse.
The sequel also welcomes back Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest as beloved aunts Frances and Jet, who seem ageless, hinting at the enduring power of magic in their lives.
Joining the cast are Joey King and Maisie Williams as Sally’s daughters, alongside Xolo Maridueña and Solly McLeod as their romantic interests, adding new dimensions to the Owens family dynamics.
Following the trailer release, fans expressed disappointment over Evan Rachel Wood’s absence as the grown-up Kylie Owens, Sally’s eldest daughter, with speculations about the reasons behind the casting decision.
Evan Rachel Wood confirmed her non-participation in the sequel, citing the producers’ choice to recast her role despite her willingness to make a cameo. Her absence leaves fans curious about the direction the film will take without her presence.
