Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock are back, twenty-eight years after the original ‘Practical Magic’ cast a spell on audiences; the beloved duo is returning as the Owens sisters for a highly anticipated sequel. The trailer has officially been unveiled following its debut at CinemaCon in Las Vegas last week, and it looks like the magic is very much alive.Directed by Susanne Bier, ‘Practical Magic 2’ sees Bullock and Kidman reprise their respective roles of Sally and Gillian Owens. The sequel “returns to a world steeped in moonlit mischief and powerful ancestral magic, as the Owens sisters must confront the dark curse that threatens to unravel their family once and for all in a must-see cinematic event of fun, magic and mayhem.”
What happens in ‘Practical Magic 2’
In the sequel, Sally has adult daughters who have started living on their own, while Gilly has settled into a quieter life with a black cat. But trouble soon finds them both, drawing them back to their New England town to confront a family curse that refuses to stay buried.The trailer opens with Sally’s narration: “I’m sure you’ve heard of the Owens family, the ones from Massachusetts, the ones their neighbours whisper are witches.” When Lee Pace’s character meets the sisters, Sally tells him, “Everyone we love dies.” Gillian follows up with characteristic wit: “A really horrible death. It’s not great for the Tinder bio.” In another scene on a train, Gillian reassures the group that “Everything’s going to be okay,” prompting Sally to fire back, “Everything’s going to be okay? Just like it was when we had to bury a corpse under a rose bush? That kind of fine, or different?”
