‘Practical Magic 2’: Sandra Bullock & Nicole Kidman Tease Sequel At CinemaCon

“Why do we come here, Nicole?” Sandra Bullock wondered.

“We come to this place for magic,” Nicole Kidman said, appropriately channeling her AMC ad copy into promotion of her sequel Practical Magic 2.

The stars’ appearance came during Warner Bros. CinemaCon panel Tuesday, which wrapped with a reminiscence of their 1998 romantic fantasy Practical Magic and a tease of what fans can expect from the upcoming sequel.

You can expect “midnight margaritas, jumping off the roof, and also have our past catching up with us,” said Kidman. “We have our destinies, and the family. I think it’s going to be really, really fun.”

Bullock said returning for the sequel “felt like we came back to a home that we once lived in” — and indeed, she and Kidman did.

“We rebuilt the original house on the cliff,” said Bullock, “we filled that house with many old and new characters that you’ll love, and brought Alice Hoffman’s Book of Magic to life.”

“Home is what this is,” Kidman echoed, “and getting to return to these characters that have been so loved and so shared, it really has been magical. And being back together, it just clicked.”

While Practical Magic 2’s logline has previously been kept under wraps, we now know that it reintroduces sisters Sally (Sandra Bullock) and Gillian Owens (Nicole Kidman), part of a multi-generational family of witches, cursed to be loveless for centuries, as they attempt to break a spell by confronting dark secrets and sacrificing for each other.

In the trailer, we return to the Owens house, seeing a cup stirring itself.

“Everyone we love dies a really horrible death,” the sisters tell a character played by Lee Pace. “It’s not great for the Tinder bio.”

Set to Harry Nilsson’s “Coconut Song,” the rest of the trailer teases romance, family, magic, mayhem, and new generations, including Joey King’s turn as one of the daughters of Bullock’s Sandra.

Whereas Griffin Dunne directed the first film — an adaptation of the 1995 novel from Alice Hoffman, following witch sisters raised by their eccentric aunts — Susanne Bier (The Perfect Couple, Bird Box) directed this time around. Akiva Goldsman, co-writer of the original film, returned to pen the script with Succession‘s Georgia Pritchett.

Pic’s cast also includes the returning Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing, as well as Maisie Williams, Xolo Maridueña, and Solly McLeod. Produced by Bullock, Kidman, and the returning Denise Di Novi, it releases in theaters worldwide on September 11.
