“Practical Magic” is not just another romantic fantasy comedy; it has become a classic of the genre and of the careers of its two major stars, both Oscar winners: Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman.
The story, based on the novel of the same name by Alice Hoffman, follows two sisters, Sally and Gillian Owens, who come from a family of witches and face prejudice and a curse.
This week, it has been confirmed that the iconic film will have a sequel, 26 years after its release on the big screen. Now the million-dollar question is: will the stars return for the highly anticipated second part?
