The stars of the 1998 film “Practical Magic” surprised attendees at an outdoor screening event held at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles. Bullock and Kidman, who reprise their roles as Sally and Gilly Owens in the upcoming sequel, appeared to introduce the original film and welcomed cast members from the new installment.
Actors Joey King and Maisie Williams, who portray the adult daughters of the Owens sisters in “Practical Magic 2,” participated in the event alongside Bullock and Kidman. The gathering included a toast featuring the film’s signature cocktail, with attendees dressed in thematic attire inspired by the original movie.
“Practical Magic 2” is scheduled for theatrical release September 11. The sequel, directed by Susanne Bier, follows the Owens family 28 years after the events of the original film as they confront a centuries-old curse. The cast also includes Xolo Maridueña, Lee Pace, and returning performers Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest. The screenplay was written by Akiva Goldsman and Georgia Pritchett, based on Alice Hoffman’s 2021 novel “The Book of Magic.”
The screening was part of Cinespia’s annual outdoor film series at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, which is observing its 25th anniversary. The programming series, presented by Amazon MGM Studios and Prime Video, features various classic and recent films throughout the month.
