“You can ask Sandy,” she said cheekily, referring to her co-star Sandra Bullock, who returns as Sally Owens. Kidman hinted the project “just needs a little magic” to come together — and it seems that magic has now arrived.

It remains to be seen whether other stars from the original film, such as Stockard Channing, Dianne Wiest, or Aidan Quinn, will return. There is also speculation about whether Evan Rachel Wood will reprise her role as one of Sally’s daughters.
With Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock returning to the magical fold, Practical Magic is set to enchant a whole new generation.
