Bullock recalls the original Practical Magic’s rocky reception as a sequel takes shape
Sandra Bullock says the original Practical Magic was a box‑office/critical flop at release, though it has since become a cult favorite, and she credits Griffin Dunne for creating the world; Variety reports that Practical Magic 2 is in the works, reuniting Bullock with Kidman (and other returning stars) and adding new cast, directed by Susanne Bier and based on Alice Hoffman's The Book of Magic—born more from serendipity than force.
