For Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, 'Practical Magic 2' Heals Old Wounds
Kidman and Bullock reprise the Owens sisters as the sequel revisits a family curse and themes of loss, family and motherhood.
Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman return to their roles as sisters Sally and Gillian Owens in 'Practical Magic 2,' opening in theaters on September 10.
The 1998 original film received mixed reviews and modest box office returns before becoming a cult favorite, a shift Bullock believes reflects broader societal reappraisal of the word 'witch.'
Producers Bullock and Kidman rebuilt the iconic Owens house on a London back lot as a permanent structure, managing budget constraints while mounting the legacy sequel.
Joey King and Maisie Williams join the cast as Kylie and Antonia Owens, expanding the family circle to include the next generation caught in the magical legacy.
Centering on themes of loss and sisterhood, the film serves as a 'passing of the baton' reflecting how both actresses and their characters have evolved over nearly 30 years.
