“I’ve waited such a long time for this.” Warner Bros has revealed the first look teaser trailer for the legacy sequel Practical Magic 2, arriving in theaters later this year after some 28 years since the first movie. The original Practical Magic romantic comedy first opened back in October 1998 – stars Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman and Dianne Wiest are all back again for this long-awaited follow-up sequel. Of course this one tries to undo the magic of the original story, which is actually based on the novel called “The Book of Magic“. A multi generational family of witches, cursed to be loveless for centuries, attempts to break the spell by confronting dark secrets and sacrificing for each other. In this next one, the Owens women all must once again unite, traveling from their home in Massachusetts to the United Kingdom to confront the source of their magic and perhaps save the next generation of their family. The cast includes Joey King as Sally’s daughter, with Lee Pace, Stockard Channing, Maisie Williams, Xolo Maridueña, & Solly McLeod. From this teaser it seems more like a made-for-TV sequel rather than a real theatrical release. Have a look.
Here’s the first teaser trailer for Susanne Bier’s legacy sequel Practical Magic 2, direct from YouTube:
Set 25 years after the events of the first movie, the story follows the Owens family as they face a new crisis when a discovery regarding the family’s history & the origins of their magic comes to light.
