It was announced this week that Warner Bros. is working on a sequel to the 1998 movie Practical Magic, with Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman in talks to potentially return.
In a new interview, Kidman has confirmed they’re both on board!
Kidman tells People, “Yes I will be in it. And Sandy will be in it. And that’s that.”
“There’s a lot more to tell, which is why we go, ‘OK, this is kind of interesting now to be able to do this.’ [We] found a way in,” Kidman also teases in her chat with the outlet this week.
Akiva Goldsman is on board to write the sequel’s screenplay.
The original 1998 movie was directed by An American Werewolf in London star Griffin Dunne, with Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman leading the cast as bewitching sisters.
In the 1998 film, based on Alice Hoffman’s 1995 novel, “Two witch sisters (Bullock and Kidman), raised by their eccentric aunts in a small town, face closed-minded prejudice and a curse which threatens to prevent them ever finding lasting love.”
Practical Magic was released in theaters for Halloween 1998, scaring up $68.3 million against a reported $75 million production budget. And that’s not even factoring in the marketing spend from Warner Bros., which no doubt ensured that the film lost money in theaters.
But like many movies from the 1990s, Practical Magic has gone on to become something of a cult favorite, with a couple different television adaptations failing to materialize over the years.
