Sensible Magic 2 Is Formally In The Works!

There’s simply one thing so bewitching about sisters and feminine friendships — the dynamic between polar opposites will at all times pull you in. That is what makes it enjoyable to observe Anne and Diana’s connection blossom in Sullivan’s Anne of Inexperienced Gables. And sadly, it’s what yanks at our heartstrings every time we cue up that previous VHS of Seashores with Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey. Hopping on that enthralling, nostalgic sisterhood and friendship trope, Sensible Magic hit the large display in October 1998 and forged a spell over everybody who watched it. Since its launch 25 years in the past, many followers have longed for an replace on the Owens sisters. Now, we are able to affirm that the rumor mill was right — Sensible Magic 2 is in improvement and a sequel shouldn’t be far in our future!

It was all confirmed on June 10, with a submit from Warner Bros. Footage.

“It’s official! Sensible Magic 2 is in improvement and coming quickly,” they wrote, whereas sharing three very cute Sensible Magic 2 video memes.

And we solely waited 26 years.

Witchy leads Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are in talks to return, Selection reviews. They added that Akiva Goldsman will write the screenplay whereas Bullock and Kidman anticipated to supply alongside Denise Di Novi.

Followers have been guessing that this announcement was coming for the reason that weekend, when Max introduced — at midnight — that the unique film could be accessible to stream.

All of us fell head over heels for the Owens household from the very second Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest’s witchy aunts advised Sally and Gillian, “On this home, we’ve chocolate cake for breakfast.” The familial chemistry! The sorcery! The midnight margaritas! There’s a lot to like about this cult traditional. So, after all we wish to meet up with the gals and see what life has introduced them since their (seemingly) final time taking part in with magic.

After which, final yr, quite a lot of viral Sensible Magic 2 posters began floating round social media.

Is Sensible Magic 2 coming quickly?

Sure, we are able to now affirm it since Warner Bros. has made the announcement. We nonetheless don’t know something in regards to the forged or the discharge date, nevertheless it’s in improvement.

The posters we’ve seen in regards to the film, although, usually are not legit. That magical-looking announcement “poster” is not from an precise movie studio. As different sources have identified, the Sensible Magic 2 graphic appears to have originated from RuPaul’s Drag Race Household, a fan-run Drag Race-devoted Fb web page. It might have been an try to generate extra chatter and herald some new members (it occurs greater than you in all probability notice).

And naturally, there’s no option to know if the fabricated poster from 2023 impressed filmmakers to appreciate that all of us ~actually~ need Sensible Magic 2.

What story would Sensible Magic 2 inform?

Let’s have a bit enjoyable for a second, lets? Whereas there’s no option to know, for certain, what Sensible Magic 2 will probably be about, you need to know that the story has already been written!

For individuals who do not bear in mind (or had been too younger to know), the 1998 movie relies on a e book. Written by Alice Hoffman, Sensible Magic is the primary in a quartet of books that follows the oh-so-magical Owens household. The subsequent three books are The Guidelines of Magic, Magic Classes, and The E book of Magic. The synopsis written to accompany the seemingly faux Sensible Magic 2 film poster follows the plot of The E book of Magic virtually completely. Stating, “When Sally’s Grand Daughter turns 16, all hell breaks unfastened when an historic household curse lastly descends. Monitoring down the supply to a long-forgotten Owens household coven, the six Owens ladies should journey throughout the nation if they’ve any hope of saving the way forward for their household.”

It sounds beautiful. After all, it’s additionally necessary to keep in mind that the unique film and the unique e book had been fairly totally different from one another.

Who would return for Sensible Magic 2?

Whereas we don’t know something about casting aside from the truth that “talks” are taking place, it is value noting that the unique forged would in all probability be on board.

All of Sensible Magic’s grownup forged and many of the daughters are nonetheless energetic in Hollywood. Each Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman have develop into big stars and family names. But, on the similar time, each have settled right into a slower Hollywood tempo, that means they’d have time to work on the challenge in the event that they needed to. And in digging via some older interviews, they don’t have anything however love and good reminiscences from their time on set.

If we’re fortunate, we might anticipate the return of virtually everybody from the unique forged, even when it is only a cameo. That features:

• Stockard Channing
• Nicole Kidman
• Sandra Bullock
• Dianne Wiest
• Aidan Quinn
• Goran Visnjic
• Mark Feuerstein
• Margo Martindale
• Evan Rachel Wooden
• Chloe Webb
• Camilla Belle

Alexandra Artrip, who performed the youngest model of Bullock’s Sally, may be the one authentic forged member unlikely to indicate up. The kid actor did just a few roles when she was youthful however has since left Hollywood and works in gross sales. Nevertheless, she could also be prepared to return if the half felt particular sufficient.

When will Sensible Magic 2 be launched?

Proper now, the film is just in improvement, which suggests we’ve a really dangerous thought of what the timeline is for a theatrical launch. All we all know proper now’s that it’s in all probability — if every part goes proper — coming our method within the subsequent couple of years.
