'Practical Magic 2' Wraps Production, Nicole Kidman Says
LOS ANGELES - The wait is over for fans of the beloved 1998 film "Practical Magic." On Saturday, Nicole Kidman announced on Instagram that production has wrapped up on the highly anticipated sequel.
"Thats a wrap on Practical Magic 2," Kidman wrote as the caption to a video of her and co-star Sandra Bullock laughing and walking into the sunset while on set. "Thank you to the cast crew for all your magic."
The news comes after a summer of filming, which began in July when Kidman shared a post celebrating the first day of production. The post showed another video of her and Bullock hugging with the caption: "The witches are back. Owens sisters first day on set!"
Industry insiders say the sequel has been highly anticipated by fans since the original film's release. "Practical Magic" grossed over $202 million worldwide and became a cult classic, thanks in part to its blend of romance, drama, and supernatural elements.
"We're thrilled that the cast and crew were able to bring this beloved story back to life," said a spokesperson for the production company. "We can't wait for audiences to experience it."
The original film starred Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman as two sisters who discover they come from a long line of witches. The sequel promises to continue their magical journey, with many speculating about what's in store for the Owens sisters.
While Evan Rachel Wood was initially cast alongside Kidman and Bullock, she later revealed that she would not be returning for the sequel, sparking rumors of recasting.
Despite the setbacks, fans remain optimistic about the project. "I've been waiting for this movie for years," said one fan on social media. "Can't wait to see what they have in store for us."
