Original Film Recap
For those scratching their heads wondering, ‘What is Practical Magic?', let's take a quick broom ride down the memory lane. The original movie is based on Alice Hoffman's whimsical book. Directed by Griffin Dunne, the film centers on two witch sisters, Sally Owens (Sandra Bullock) and Gillian Owens (Nicole Kidman), who live in a small town, practicing their craft and battling a family curse that hinders them from finding true love.
Sally leads a quiet life, choosing to downplay her magical abilities, while Gillian is the complete opposite. When they accidentally cause the untimely death of Gillian's violent partner, a chain of supernatural events unfolds, leading them on a wild ride to break their family's curse.
The enchanting plot and captivating performances of both the actresses weaved a magic on the audience, making the film a cult favorite.
A Trusted Team Behind the Screen
The sequel development brings back Akiva Goldsman, who penned the original film's script with Robin Swicord and Adam Brooks. Both Kidman and Bullock are also expected to produce the sequel, showing they are not just in front of the camera magic makers!
Years ago, Warner Bros tried to bring Practical Magic to the small screen with The Rules of Magic, but the venture never took off. However, with the original film's success and the ongoing popularity of Kidman and Bullock, the potential for this sequel is sky-high.
