Susanne Bier in Talks With Warner Bros. to Direct PRACTICAL MAGIC 2

Director Susanne Bier is in talks with Warner Bros. to helm the upcoming sequel Practical Magic 2 for the studio. The movie would reteam Bier with both returning actresses Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock.

The director worked with Bullock on Netflix’s Bird Box, and with Kidman on both the HBO series The Undoing and the Netflix miniseries The Perfect Couple.

In Practical Magic 2, Bullock is reprising her role as Sally Owens, while Kidman is coming back as Gillian Owens.

The original 1998 movie, which was directed by Griffin Dunne and grossed more than $47 million stateside, followed two witch sisters raised by their eccentric aunts in a small town, who are faced with closed-minded prejudice and a curse that threatens to prevent them from finding lasting love.

Akiva Goldsman, who co-wrote the original, is returning to write the screenplay. Bullock and Kidman are producing with Denise Di Novi.
