LOS ANGELES — Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are reuniting on the big screen as the Owens sisters in \u201cPractical Magic 2,\u201d the sequel to the 1998 film that first paired the actresses nearly three decades ago.<\/p>\n
The stars celebrated the film\u2019s premiere in Westwood, where they welcomed On The Red Carpet’s George Pennacchio after extending him a personal invitation.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is not this without this,\u201d Bullock said, while gesturing to Pennacchio.<\/p>\n
Kidman added, \u201cYeah. We were, like, \u2018See you tomorrow night!\u2019 And you looked shocked.”<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd by the time I got to my car, I had an invitation,\u201d Pennacchio said.<\/p>\n
\u201cSee how it works with witches?\u201d Bullock replied with a smile at the camera as Kidman playfully waved her hand.<\/p>\n
In \u201cPractical Magic 2,\u201d Bullock and Kidman reprise their roles as the Owens sisters, who remain cursed when it comes to finding true romantic love.<\/p>\n
A clip from the film references the family\u2019s misfortune:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Owens sisters.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah. Everyone we love dies.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, right.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThey die a really horrible death. I mean, it\u2019s just not great for the Tinder bio.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kidman said fans almost demanded they make this movie, and she’s glad they did.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen it’s that loud and there was so much desire for it, and it’s a fun movie, and it feels good,” she said. “And, for me, a lot of times I’ve done films that are very heavy and difficult to promote. This is a joy.”<\/p>\n
The sequel centers in part on one of Bullock\u2019s daughters in the film, who attempts to break the family curse to save the man she loves, played by Xolo Maridue\u00f1a.<\/p>\n
A clip from the movie shows the stakes of the struggle:<\/p>\n
\u201cIs this real? Is he gonna die?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s true. We are witches and the curse is real.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI will never trust you again!\u201d<\/p>\n
Maridue\u00f1a reflected on the long-awaited announcement of the project.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been a long time coming and now the cat’s out of the bag, you know?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The film\u2019s magical theme extended to the red carpet. Maridue\u00f1a joked about a cat-themed accessory, while co-star Joey King embraced the spirit of the event by wearing wings.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m going to fly home tonight after we’re done here because I’m a witch. I can fly,\u201d King said with a laugh.<\/p>\n
Bullock said enjoying the filmmaking process has become essential to her.<\/p>\n
\u201cTime is really precious right now,” she said. “I wasted it before. I’m not wasting it now.”<\/p>\n
She went on to say, “And I’m just going to save every single second and I’m going to try and see the beauty in everything, no matter what it is.”<\/p>\n
\u201cPractical Magic 2\u201d returns to theaters Sept. 10.<\/p>\n
