Coming Soon ‘Practical Magic 2’

Mako shares his thoughts on the movie-inspired fashion shoot, in which Sandra Bullock teams up with Nicole Kidman for ‘Practical Magic 2’, directed by Susanne Bier and hitting theaters Thursday, Sept. 10.

“Sandra is all heart, no armor, only kindness, only work, only truth. For this story I wanted to bring the Owens house into my house. In Practical Magic, magic is never in the sky. It’s in the kitchen, in the fireplace, in the black cat that won’t leave the mantle. I didn’t want to photograph a witch. I wanted to photograph a woman who kept a house alive long enough for magic to grow back in. Thank you for trusting me with your return.”

Hollywood Reporter explains on Apple News:

‘Practical Magic’ was released Oct. 16, 1998, and even though it topped the box office chart, the $75 million feature earned mixed reviews and collected $68.3 million globally. "The movie was not considered a success at the time, and I took a bit of a hit as a director," Dunne reflected in 2017 about the film that has since cemented a cult following.

Director Susanne Bier's Practical Magic 2 hits theaters Sept. 10, adding Joey King and Maisie Williams as Sally's daughters. At its London premiere, Bullock recalled the first movie's criticism: "We weren't [praised] when we came out -- we were ridiculed for motherhood, sisterhood and too many tones." The star added about the ensuing fan support: "It's overwhelming and really beautiful." ”

Once a Caretaker, Always a Caretaker

Sandra Bullock calls close friend Jennifer Anniston ‘One of My Protectors’ during the interview, and the two spend quite a lot of time on family matters.

Bullock shares the story of divorcing Jesse James in 2010, with her oldest, recently-adopted son Louis an unknown little man in the general public. With the paparazzi bearing down on her, Bullock had to vacate her home without generating ‘Bullock has a baby onboard’ headlines.

Luckily, she had just been cleaning out the closet and found some old hockey bags. “So I put him in his car carrier, put it in the hockey bag, and zipped the hockey bag around him. Then I carried the hockey bag to the car, as though I was just carrying any random hockey bag.” When it comes to protecting the privacy of her family, Bullock added, “You have to operate like the CIA.”

Bullock has been through many of life’s challenges, most recently carrying for her partner Bryan Randall in his three-year battle with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. It brought her closer to her sister, who took charge of getting Sandra to understand that “If you do not start taking care of you, something is going to happen to you and what’s going to happen to Lou and Lai? . . . and Bryan?”

The devastating prognosis came in the hard-hitting days of COVID and for an extended time, only Bullock and her sister Gesine knew about the death-sentence disease. “I wasn’t allowed to speak about it. That was the request and I tried — I honored it,” Bullock explained on Amy Poehler’s ‘Good Hang’ podcast on Sept. 8.

In wanting to keep his diagnosis out of the news, her partner put a huge weight on Bullock’s shoulders. The narrative is that she carried most of the weight of sole caretaker in one of the worst health diagnoses a person can get. That meant no outside help for three years — at least until the end.

A Little Twist on Sandra Bullock’s Adoptions Before the ‘Practical Magic 2’ Movie Interview

Oh, I have a surprise for you! This is very off the cuff. Hoda Kotb of the NBC ‘Today Show’ says that she adopted her two daughters, based on Sandra Bullock’s adoptions. It’s a special interview about the new movie, but Hoda shares her secret and it goes off the rails for just a few minutes.
