Few films with more novelty aroma than Practically magic. Directed in 1998 by Dunne Griffinthis film brought together great stars of the moment as Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock In the role of Sally and Gillian Owens sisters, trained in witchcraft for their aunts (Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest) before reaching adulthood.
Starting from there this adaptation of the novel of Alice Hoffman proposed an impossible gender cocktail, combining fantasy and Thriller with love melodrama and even a complaint of sexist violence. The result was great: more than 467 million dollars of collection.
Removing it from the 90’s context could be catastrophic, but nothing was wrong with the recent Twisters (the extension of another strictly novel phenomenon) and thus it happens that Warner Bros. wants a sequel to Practically magic. He has already confirmed the return of Kidman and Bullock, with the idea that he writes the script one of the co -authors of the inaugural libretto, Akiva Goldsman. Now Deadline He echoes a possible director, who is in conversations with Warner to sign the contract and would be a signing of height.
We refer to Susanne Bierwho has worked in the past with both Bullock and Kidman. With the first one directed Blindone of the most successful films in the history of Netflixand has collaborated with the second in two series: The undoing for HBO and The perfect couple for Netflix. Apart from this curriculum streamingBier is an enormously respected filmmaker. She is the first woman who has won the Golden Globehe Emmyhe Oscar And a prize of the European Academy
Born in Denmark, Bier triumphed in 2006 with After the weddingwhich starred Mads Mikkelsen And she was nominated for Oscar for Best International Film. Shortly after he jumped to the US with The things we lost in the fire and would be nominated again by foreign production with In a better world, who finally won the Oscar in 2010. If Bier confirms his participation in Practically magic 2Warner could give the project an unusual credibility.
