Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock reunite for Practical Magic 2

Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock have reunited for the sequel to their 1998 film, ‘Practical Magic’. Produced by Kidman, Bullock, and Denise Di Novi, the new installment marks a return to the supernatural comedy genre nearly three decades after the original.

Critical reception for ‘Practical Magic 2’ has been mixed. Some reviews characterize the project as a nostalgic reunion that lacks originality and fails to take creative risks, suggesting the sequel feels artificial. The production marks a change in direction, with Danish filmmaker Susanne Bier taking over from the original director, Griffin Dunne.

The original 1998 film, while not a massive box office hit at the time, gained lasting popularity through streaming services. Director Griffin Dunne previously noted rumors regarding a ‘curse’ affecting the original production, which impacted his subsequent career trajectory.
