What's confirmed
What's still developing
- According to the story, a startling discovery about the family’s history, and the very origins of their magic, comes to light, forcing the women to band together once again.
- Nearly three decades after the beloved 1998 cult classic first enchanted us, the two Oscar winners proved the magic is very much alive, turning to two of France’s most storied fashion houses to do it.
- Kidman, 59, went ethereal in a custom Chanel gown by creative director Matthieu Blazy, a shimmering, figure-hugging strapless number covered in allover sequins with its own thigh-high slit.
- Throughout her career, Stockard Channing has played some of pop culture’s most memorable characters: Betty Rizzo in Grease, First Lady Abigail Bartlet in The West Wing and Aunt Frances "Franny" Owens in Practical Magic.
- Working with Nicole and Sandra again was "absolutely great", she says.
- Do pop ao clássico, com olhar crítico e afetivo There is enormous anticipation surrounding Practical Magic 2, but it cannot be explained solely by our love for Nicole Kidman, Sandra Bullock, or the Owens sisters.
- That is why reducing Practical Magic to a collection of visual references would betray what allowed the film to endure.
- Fans want to return to that house, the kitchen, the garden, the potions, the midnight margaritas, and the fantasy of a family of women confronting male violence with magic and solidarity.
