After teasing Practical Magic 2 at its CinemaCon presentation last week, Warner Bros. has unveiled the teaser seen in the room in Las Vegas.
Following up a beloved witch-themed 1998 romantic fantasy, Practical Magic 2 reunites Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman as sisters Sally and Gillian Owens, part of a multi-generational family of witches, cursed to be loveless for centuries, as they attempt to break a spell by confronting dark secrets and sacrificing for each other.
The teaser begins with narration from Bullock’s Sally, who says, “I’m sure you’ve heard of the Owens family — the ones from Massachusetts, the ones their neighbors whisper are witches.”
We then find a character played by Lee Pace encountering the sisters, with Sally telling him, “Everyone we love dies.”
Kidman’s Gillian deadpans, “A really horrible death…It’s not great for the Tinder bio.”
Later footage, set to Harry Nilsson’s “Coconut Song,” highlights the performances of Joey King and Maisie Williams as Sally’s daughters, and the curse that threatens the family.
On a train with Pace’s character and her sister, Gillian says, “Everything’s going to be okay.”
Sally retorts, “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?”
Whereas Griffin Dunne directed the first Practical Magic — an adaptation of Alice Hoffman’s 1995 novel — Susanne Bier (The Perfect Couple, Bird Box) directed this time around. Akiva Goldsman, co-writer of the original film, returned to pen the script with Succession‘s Georgia Pritchett.
Produced by Bullock, Kidman, and the returning Denise Di Novi, Practical Magic 2 releases in theaters worldwide on September 11. Pic’s cast also includes the returning Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing, as well as Xolo Maridueña and Solly McLeod.
