Halina Reinj's Babygirl starring Nicole Kidman is officially making a run at the streaming charts.

Per FlixPatrol, 2024's Babygirl has made its way onto the list of the top ten movies currently available for streaming on HBO Max. Although Babygirl still has a long way to go before it catches up to the likes of Final Destination Bloodlines, which currently dominates the top spot by nearly doubling its closest competitor's streaming numbers, Babygirl isn't far off from overtaking more evenly-paced competition such as Dev Patel's Monkey Man and 2012's Erased.

Written and directed by Halina Reijn, best known for directing 2021's breakout horror hit Bodies Bodies Bodies, Babygirl...

“This process is similar to my acting,” says Timothy Olyphant. “It’s a little something I call winging it.”

The 57-year-old, a cultural fixture since the late ’90s who’s claimed to have found the absolute “sweet spot” of fame, is discussing his approach to ceramics at his Westside studio. And like that dig at his Hollywood career, he’s being modest. Olyphant majored in Studio Art at USC. If you frequent Los Angeles galleries, you might have spotted him — likely in a cowboy hat. “What a cry for attention,” he jokes. “The guy that’s played a cowboy most of his career wears a cowboy hat.”

After donning Western gear for lead roles in Deadwood, Justified and Fargo, the guy just looks good in a wide brim. But Olyphant, who shares three grown children with his wife of 34 years, is more than just a cowboy and budding ceramicist. He...

Liam Neeson has already starred in several action movies this year, but one of his more recent fan-favorites has been a consistent streaming hit since its release several years ago. Neeson stars alongside Aidan Quinn (Practical Magic) and Taylor John Smith (Where the Crawdads Sing) in Blacklight — the 2022 action thriller following a government operative (Neeson) who comes to terms with his shady past. However, when he discovers a sinister plot targeting innocent U.S. citizens, he finds himself in the crosshairs of the FBI director whom he used to work for. Despite being released several years ago, Blacklight is still one of the most popular movies on VOD, trending in countries such as the Netherlands and others. The film earned an abysmal 12% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, but a solid 82% on the audience-driven Popcornmeter.

Gremlins 3 is finally inching closer to reality. According to a new report from TheInSneider, original writer Chris Columbus has completed the script for the long‑awaited sequel and is now set to direct, signaling a major step forward for the beloved franchise.

Gremlins 3: Chris Columbus Takes the Helm

This development marks a significant shift in the project’s trajectory. Zach Galligan, the star of the 1984 classic directed by Joe Dante, recently teased that Warner Bros. was waiting for a green light from original producer Steven Spielberg. With Columbus now attached as director, that approval may be the final hurdle before production begins.

Columbus, who penned the original Gremlins, has long stated that the new film will be a direct sequel rather than a reboot. He also promised a “twisted and dark script” that will honor the tone of the original while expanding its universe.

Two decades after casting a spell on audiences with Practical Magic, Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock are back together — and this time, the magic seems even stronger off-screen. While filming the much-anticipated sequel, Practical Magic 2, Kidman gave fans a sneak peek into her heartwarming bond with her co-star.

“I Can Tease Her…”

Nicole Kidman shared that working with Sandra again has been nothing short of comforting and joyful. Describing their relationship as natural and close, Kidman said, “I can tease her, and she teases me right back.” Their friendship, according to her, is filled with laughter, warmth, and a sense of familiarity that only grows deeper with time.

A Magical Reunion After 26 Years

The original Practical Magic film, released in 1998, became a cult favorite thanks to the chemistry between the two actresses. Now, more than two decades later, fans are thrilled to see them return as the Owens sisters.

Sandra Bullock’s1998 fantasy romance Practical Magicis arriving on Hulu on August 1, 2025, almost a year ahead of its highly anticipated sequel. The cult-favorite film follows sisters Sally and Gillian Owens, played by Bullock and Nicole Kidman, who are born into a magical family but have sworn off witchcraft. However, the sisters are soon forced to use their powers to fight off a curse that threatens their bloodline.

The film was met with an underwhelming response upon release andgrossed $68.3 million worldwide against a budget of $75 million. Over the years, though, Practical Magic has gained popularity among fans of the genre. Warner Bros. took to X (formerly Twitter) in May 2025 to announce the sequel, and confirmed that both Bullock and Kidman would be reprising their roles. Practical Magic 2 is set to hit theaters on September 18, 2026, with Bullock and Kidman serving as producers alongside Denise Di Novi.

Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells will star and executive produce a TV adaptation of the comedy classic “Stay Tuned,” which is in development at Hulu, TheWrap has learned.

The project from Akiva Goldsman, Jordan Cahan and Greg Lessans is loosely based on the 1992 movie starring John Ritter and Pam Dawber. The series would follow Rannells and Gad as they find themselves trapped on the wrong side of the screen and forced to navigate their way through TV’s most binge-worthy obsessions.

Cahan serves as showrunner on the potential series, reuniting with Rannells after previously working together on Showtime’s “Black Monday.” 20th Television is the producing studio. Executive producers include Goldsman and Lessans for Weed Road Productions, Gad, Rannells, and Morgan Creek’s James G. Robinson & David Robinson, and Aaron Semmel.

Rannells is a Grammy Award-winning and two-time Tony Award nominated actor who starred in Jim Rash’s film “Miss You, Love You,...

Months after Practical Magic debuted on HBO Max, where it instantly became a favorite among subscribers, the 1998 fantasy pic has found another streaming home. Starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman as sisters Sally and Gilly Owens, it was released on October 16, 1998, and later landed on HBO Max on October 1, 2024, where it climbed to the #5 spot the following day. Even so, the film was not much of a success either critically or commercially, considering its worldwide earnings of $68.3 million against a $75 million budget and its rotten 26% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Despite flopping, the romantic drama has already received the sequel treatment, scheduled to premiere on September 18, 2026. As fans gear up for its arrival, Hulu plans to add the original to its platform starting August 1. The magical film will join numerous other classics also debuting on the same day, including 10 Things I Hate About You and another Bullock-starrer, 28 Days.

The movie follows a transgender young woman who moves to a new town and forms an unexpected bond with a like-minded young woman, soon discovering that they also share common supernatural powers that they must use to save themselves and their loved ones from a mysterious evil.

There are some things we know for certain: Practical Magic is getting a second life, and Lee Pace is one of the latest additions to the coven. Along with a few other new and returning faces, the Foundation actor will star next to Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock, who are reprising their roles as the witchy Owens sisters. The 1998 original follows their characters, Gillian and Sally, as they deal with a family curse that destroys any chance they have at love. It was adapted from author Alice Hoffman’s book of the same name. The sequel movie’s exact plot details are still being kept under wraps, but according to producer Denise Di Novi, it will draw from Hoffman’s 2021 follow-up to Practical Magic, The Book of Magic. Though readers might be able to take a stab at which character Pace will be playing, the actor told TV Insider that...

In one of the better-sounding Hollywood updates on films in development, Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman fanned the flames from 27 years prior after reviving their cult classic movie, Practical Magic. Naturally, the warm reception to the underrated sequel of the 1998 film has now made the fans turn their attention toward another cult-classic Bullock film from the early 2000s.

Starring the grumpy, snarky, and sarcastically sour king of rom-com, Hugh Grant, Two Weeks Notice featured the unlikely pairing of the floppy-haired Brit with the wild and free-spirited American. As unrealistic as Grant and Bullock seemed to be as a couple (in theory), their on-screen chemistry in the 2002 film proved the non-believers wrong.

23 years later, a sequel now seems greatly earned between the still gorgeous sexagenarians.

Not everyone may be obsessed with the era of sequels and reboots, but at least fans get to see their favorite classics return in an all-new form, usually with the original stars, on either small or large screens, or even both. One such classic is the bewitching 1998 pic Practical Magic, which is getting the sequel treatment but won’t be released till the fall of 2026. While fans eagerly anticipate, we have a major casting update, which comes not long after two major returnees joined the enchanting sequel.

So far, a few original stars have already been confirmed to reprise their roles in Practical Magic 2, including the leading duo, Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, who portray sisters Sally and Gilly Owens. And just last weekend, Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing were announced as returnees too, playing the Owens aunts, Jet and Franny. With the latest addition, many wondered if Evan Rachel Wood...

While it was recently reported that Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest would be returning as the eccentric Aunt Frances and Aunt Jet in the upcoming Practical Magic sequel, one star will not be reprising her role from the 1998 movie. Evan Rachel Wood took to social media over the weekend to confirm that she would not be back as Sandra Bullock's onscreen daughter Kylie.

Per Deadline, Wood posted on her Instagram stories over the weekend that she hadn't been asked back for the sequel, revealing that she'd even suggested only appearing in one scene. “I was told they are re-casting. I am sorry to disappoint the fans. It was not in my control or my choice. I would have happily rejoined my sisters.”

The Practical Magic sequel was first announced last fall. Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock both agreed to return and reprise their roles as Gillian and Sally Owens,...

Last year, it was officially announced that Warner Bros. is moving forward with a sequel to the 1998 film Practical Magic, with Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman reprising the roles of sister witches Sally and Gillian Owens. Producer Denise Di Novi has promised that the sequel, which is aiming for a September 18, 2026 theatrical release, will honor the original and not attempt to reinvent the wheel – but that doesn’t mean they’re bringing all of the original cast members back. Evan Rachel Wood, who played Sally’s daughter Kylie in the original film, has confirmed that she will not be back for the sequel. But her absence from the film was not her choice.

The Hollywood Reporter caught Wood’s confirmation on her Instagram Stories. She wrote, “I am getting asked about this a lot, so l’ll just clear it up now; I was not asked to come back and...

Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman, Dianne Wiest, and Stockard Channing are set to reprise their roles in Practical Magic 2, but there’s one witch who won’t be joining the family reunion.

Evan Rachel Wood, who played the eldest daughter of Bullocks’ character in the 1998 supernatural romantic comedy, has taken to social media to confirm she will not appear in the sequel.

“I am getting asked about this a lot, so I’ll just clear it up now; I was not asked to come back and be in the Practical Magic sequel. I offered my services, even if it was one scene or one line,” she shared in an Instagram story over the weekend.

“I was told they are re-casting. I am sorry to disappoint the fans. It was not in my control or my choice. I would have happily rejoined my sisters.”

Wood was only 11 when she appeared in...

Evan Rachel Wood was rejected from the Practical Magic sequel.The 37-year-old actress revealed she would have loved to reprise her role as Kylie, the eldest daughter of Sandra Bullock’s character Sally Owens, in the follow-up to the 1998 original but although she “offered my services”, she was told they are “recasting”.She wrote on Instagram Stories: “I am getting asked about this a lot, so l’ll just clear it up now; I was not asked to come back and be in the Practical Magic sequel. l offered my services, even if it was one scene or one line. I was told they are recasting. I am sorry to disappoint the fans. It was not in my control or my choice. I would have happily rejoined my sisters.”Bullock and Nicole Kidman are reprising their roles as sisters Sally and Gillian Owens, who are descended from a long line of witches.

Sally Owens’ (Sandra Bullock) spell-casting eldest daugther, Kylie Owens, will be a no-show in the upcoming Practical Magic 2, or, at least, the role won’t be played by Evan Rachel Wood this time around. Wood, along with Alexandra Artrip’s portrayal of Antonia, played the two children of Sally and the nieces of their spellbinding Aunt Gillian (Nicole Kidman). Sadly, though, Wood confirmed in a story posted to her Instagram account that she would not be returning for the sequel, and it seems she did want to be a part of the magical sequel. Wood wrote on social media:

"I am getting asked about this a lot, so l'll just clear it up now; I was not asked to come back and be in the #PracticalMagic sequel. l offered my services, even if it was one scene or one line. I was told they are re-casting. I am sorry to disappoint the fans.

Evan Rachel Wood won’t be in the “Practical Magic” sequel, but it’s not because she didn’t want to be. As Wood told fans via her Instagram Stories, after she “offered my services” she was told “they are re-casting.”

“I am getting asked about this a lot, so l’ll just clear it up now; I was not asked to come back and be in the #PracticalMagic sequel. I offered my services, even if it was one scene or one line,” Wood wrote.

“I was told they are re-casting. I am sorry to disappoint the fans. It was not in my control or my choice. I would have happily rejoined my sisters.”

Deadline reported this news.

The upcoming sequel will bring back stars Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock and is set to be released in late September 2026. Wood played Bullock’s daughter Kylie in the original film.

In addition to Kidman and Bullock,...

Something magical is brewing over at Warner Bros. Last year, it was first announced that Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock were nearing a deal with the studio to make a long-awaited follow-up to their witchy 1996 romantic fantasy “Practical Magic.” Then, teases trickled out for a few months before, and unexpectedly, WB dropped a teaser on social media in May, sending fans into a whirlwind.

The original film, which did not make a profit in its initial theatrical run, went on to become a staple of aughts cable television, brewing up generations of fans and becoming a cult favorite.

The logical next question, then, was who — besides the now-Oscar-winning Kidman and Bullock — would be returning to the quaint Owens sisters’ Massachusetts home for the next adventure. In 1998, the cast included Goran Visnjic, Dianne Wiest, Stockard Channing, Aidan Quinn, Evan Rachel Wood, and Margo Martindale. Visnjic’s character, Jimmy, would seem unlikely...

Evan Rachel Wood is clearing things up and confirming she will not be part of the Practical Magic sequel in the works

Wood took to social media to address her fans asking if she would reprise her role opposite Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman.

“I am getting asked about this a lot, so l’ll just clear it up now;I was not asked to come back and be in the #PracticalMagic sequel. l offered my services, even if it was one scene or one line,” she shared on her Instagram Stories.

She continued, “I was told they are re-casting. I am sorry to disappoint the fans. It was not in my control or my choice. I would have happily rejoined my sisters.”

Practical Magic 2 is set to be released on September 18, 2026. The sequel is based on the 1998 film directed by Griffin Dunne, which was an adaptation of the 1995 novel by Alice Hoffman.

Practical Magic is getting a sequel, and several stars from the original film are already confirmed to return. Despite the best efforts of Evan Rachel Wood, however, she will not be among the group of returning stars.

On her Instagram Stories, Wood shared a post clearing the air about her status with Practical Magic 2. She said she tried to get involved, claiming she was willing to show up for a single line of dialogue if nothing else. In any case, this did not result in an offer for Wood to return for Practical Magic 2, as she added that she'd heard that her role was even being recast.

“I am getting asked about this a lot, so l’ll just clear it up now; I was not asked to come back and be in the Practical Magic sequel,” Wood said in the post. “l offered my services, even if...

While several of the castmembers in the original Practical Magic are returning for the film’s sequel, Evan Rachel Wood has made it known she’s not.

Following the news on Friday that Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing were reprising their roles as the Owens aunts, fans were wondering if Wood could possibly return, too. However, the actress took to Instagram Stories later that day to answer people’s questions.

“I am getting asked about this a lot, so l’ll just clear it up now; I was not asked to come back and be in the Practical Magic sequel,” Wood wrote. “l offered my services, even if it was one scene or one line. I was told they are recasting. I am sorry to disappoint the fans. It was not in my control or my choice. I would have happily rejoined my sisters.”

The Hollywood Reporter reached out to...
