Much has been said about Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav's intention to replace current Warner Bros. Pictures heads Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy, though the shock success of A Minecraft Movie may have bought the executives some time.

Regardless, Deadline recently spoke to them about the studio's future plans, including a Beetlejuice Beetlejuice sequel and new takes on The Matrix, Practical Magic, Gremlins, Goonies, and more. The DC brand also came up (despite DC Studios being separate from Warner Bros.), and De Luca shared high praise for James Gunn's Superman.

"I love Superman. I think James Gunn has crushed it," he said. "It’s got tons of his trademark heart and humor and the action is jaw dropping. It’s the Superman I grew up with, so I get choked up when I watch it. I think it’s so epic and visually arresting and emotional.

Warner Bros. is officially saying "I Will Always Love You" to the classic Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston-led romantic thriller The Bodyguard. During a massive interview with Deadline on Friday, the company's co-chairmen/CEOs Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy revealed that a remake of the 1992 box office smash hit is in the works with Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour director Sam Wrench at the helm. He'll direct from a screenplay penned by Jonathan A. Abrams, who most recently scripted Clint Eastwood's final film Juror #2. No casting has been set at this time.

Directed by Mick Jackson and written by Raiders of the Lost Ark writer Lawrence Kasdan, the original Bodyguardcentered on R&b star Rachel Marron (Houston) and her newly-hired bodyguard, Frank Farmer, who is brought in after the singer starts receiving disturbing threats from a stalker. Their initially icy relationship grows fonder as Frank does his...

Exclusive: Warner Bros has just set plans to revamp The Bodyguard, the 1992 romantic drama thriller that teamed superstars Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston. The studio, which released the original, has set Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour director Sam Wrench to helm and script by Juror No. 2 writer Jonathan A. Abrams, Deadline has learned.

The news was revealed Friday in an interview with Warner Bros’ co-film bosses Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy. No casting has been set, but after the first film’s star duo and box office success (it made $411 million worldwide box office and landed a pair of Oscar nominations) it certainly will be a casting process to watch. Beyond Swift, there are many singers who could play the singing star that this should be a magnet for an exciting cast.

The original plot centered on Costner’s former Secret Service agent Frank Farmer, who takes a job...

Exclusive: If you focus on snarky and largely unsubstantiated reports, you might figure Warner Bros Pictures co-chairman/CEOs Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy would spend this weekend boxing up their belongings. Using a couple flops and risky upcoming films as fodder, several reports with scant backup say their Warner Bros Discovery boss David Zaslav is scouring for replacement candidates (which he denies in a tepid manner). Despite the rough press, De Luca and Abdy will actually spend this weekend same as their counterparts at other studios do: trying to keep an eye on kids while they read scripts, watch dailies and dream up slates for 2026 and beyond.

The overheated reports quieted after A Minecraft Movie did way better than anyone imagined, and quickly joined another surprise blockbuster, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, as top-priority sequels to go with other IP revivals from The Matrix to Practical Magic, Gremlins and Goonies.

Amid all the constant chaos and stress of everyday life, sometimes all a person wants to do at the end of a long day is put on a feel-good flick to turn their brains off and enjoy a couple of carefree, relaxing hours. The streaming juggernaut Netflix is no stranger to creating emotionally compelling original hits, and the 2025 romantic dramedy The Life Listis no exception, with the uplifting film focusing on a young woman as she sets out to honor the wishes of her late mother by revisiting her childhood aspirations and fulfilling her old bucket list.

Former Disney darling-turned-popular Netflix leading lady Sofia Carson headlines the heartwarming movie based on the bestselling novel, in which the talented actress shares the screen with famous faces like Connie Britton, Kyle Allen, and Sebastian de Souza.

BAFTA Award winner Amma Asante will direct. The project is in pre-production.

Set against the high-stakes backdrop of the late Cold War, Billion Dollar Spy follows Adolf Tolkachev (Crowe), an ordinary man who risks everything to pass thousands of pages of top-secret Soviet intelligence to the U.S. Despite repeated rejections by a wary CIA, Tolkachev persisted, embodying the courage to stand against a regime that betrayed its own people.

Camilla Belle is more than just a Hollywood actress—she’s a style icon who has graced the red carpet in some of the most elegant designer heels. Standing 5 feet 7 ½ inches (171.5 cm) tall and wearing a U.S. shoe size 8, she naturally carries off statement footwear with ease.

While she wasn’t always passionate about fashion, a trip to Paris changed her perspective.

When I was younger, I had no interest. But after I went to Paris to see the collections for the first time a few years ago, they made a huge impression on me. I realized that fashion is an art form, like acting or painting.

This newfound appreciation is reflected in her impeccable style choices. From Christian Louboutin to Stuart Weitzman, Camilla has mastered the art of pairing luxury footwear with stunning outfits, making her a true red carpet standout.

Talk about a star-packed Oscar Week.

The days and nights leading up to Hollywood’s biggest event of the year began this time around with the NAACP Image Awards and SAG Awards on Feb. 23. Just a couple of nights later, most of the nominees of the 97th Academy Awards gathered at the Academy Museum for the annual class picture. While most walked the arrivals carpet solo, Cynthia Erivo, Demi Moore and Zoe Saldaña hugged and posed together for photographers. (The class photo is usually taken during the Nominees Luncheon but the afternoon soiree was canceled due to the Southern California wildfires.)

At the same time, across town, Nicole Kidman and Olivia Munn were among the honorees at Time’s Women of the Year dinner at the West Hollywood Edition hotel.

Talking with Variety, Kidman gave an update on the much-anticipated sequel to “Practical Magic” with Sandra Bullock. “Moving ahead rapidly,...

Exclusive: Monarch Media has secured the rights to A Walk to Remember, the seminal early aughts coming-of-age romance from Nicholas Sparks, with plans to develop a reboot alongside the original film’s producers Denise Di Novi and Hunt Lowry.

An enduringly popular bestseller published in 1999, A Walk to Remember follows a rebellious high school senior who falls for a quiet, faith-driven girl after being forced to participate in a school play, discovering the transformative power of love, forgiveness and the beauty of living each day with purpose.

Famously, Shane West and Mandy Moore broke out with their turns in the original 2002 film adaptation from Warner Bros. While the Adam Shankman film made less than $48 million in theaters, it remains one of the most popular titles in the modern rom-com canon to this day.

The full producing team on the reboot will include Steve Barnett, Alan Powell and Vicky Patel for Monarch Media,...

Practical Magic 2 is in the works at Warner Bros. Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock will reprise their roles from the original 1998 movie for the live-action follow-up.

Speaking with Variety at Time's Women of the Year event in Los Angeles, Kidman was careful not to reveal too much about the highly-anticipated sequel, saying only that development on Practical Magic 2 was "movie ahead rapidly." After Variety pushed for more information, such as if Kidman had seen a script, the actor playfully remarked, "I'm not answering anymore. You can ask Sandy [Bullock]." Kidman then confirmed that "we're not doing it yet," meaning that Practical Magic 2 hasn't started production, as it "needs a little magic" still before filming can begin.

Slowly but surely fans are getting more information about the highly anticipatedPractical Magic sequel. This week during the Time's Women of the Year event in Los Angeles, one half of the Owens sisters revealed some coy answers to Variety about the timeline of the sequel. Nicole Kidman, who plays Gillian Owens, said that the sequel is "moving ahead rapidly" but refused to quantify it anymore by saying "I'm not answering anymore." Instead, Kidman put the onus on her Practical Magic co-star Sandra Bullock, who plays Sally Owens. "You can ask Sandy." She repeats "ask Sandy" again and again when prodded with questions. "My beautiful Sandy," apparently is the gatekeeper of the Practical Magic 2 details. Kidman concludes that the sequel "just needs a little magic," to make sure it happens.

Nicole Kidman is practicing what she preaches.

During a recent interview for Time magazine, the Oscar winner opened up about surpassing her 2017 goal of working with a woman director every 18 months since the height of the #MeToo movement. Over the past eight years, she’s collaborated with at least 19 female filmmakers on movies and TV shows.

Kidman explained that often, women directors face undue pressure to “be perfect” with their debut projects. However, the Big Little Lies star said, “It can be changed, but it can only be changed by actually being in the films of women.”

The actress is on a mission to use her immense star power to be a force for change in Hollywood. Most recently, she teamed up with Babygirl director Halina Reijn in their 2024 erotic thriller. Reijn previously told The Hollywood Reporter for Kidman’s December cover story, “She is one of the few people...

Nicole Kidman made a vow in 2017 to work with a woman director every 18 months. To say she has made good on that promise would be an understatement. The Oscar winner has teamed up with a women director either as a producer or as an actor 19 times over the last eight years, with more female-directed projects already in the pipeline.

Speaking in a new interview with Time magazine, Kidman explained that one of her reasons behind making the vow is a double standard that women directors face. These filmmakers are under pressure to “be perfect” when their movies get funded and there’s no room for error. Whereas male directors are more likely to get a chance to rebound, female directors are knocked down if they don’t deliver a perfect movie.

“It can be changed,” Kidman said, “but it can only be changed by actually being in the films of women.

Sofia Carson is becoming a Netflix star. After being brilliant in 2024's thriller, Carry-On, she will now turn lead in a new Netflix movie called The Life List. The story revolves around a woman who is set on a journey by her mother to re-access her life. The twist is that Carson's character (Alex Rose) is given a new DVD each time she goes about completing tasks on her bucket list.

Mind you, at least some of the bucket list was created when Alex was a child, so some of what she has to do might be something she would never do as an adult. The list includes participating in an open mic night, playing basketball in a one-on-one game, and teaching at a women's shelter. The truth is that the film is not a series of episodes of Alex working her way down the list.

Paramount has announced the lineup of movies, TV shows and live sports coming to Paramount+ in March, which will mark the streaming service’s fourth anniversary. The Paramount Plus March 2025 schedule includes the updated Women Who Move Mountains collection, which shines a light on the real and fictional women who inspire.

For Women’s History Month, new additions to the collection include A League of Their Own, Annihilation, Blue Crush, Ex Machina, Failure to Launch, Julie & Julia, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, Lara Croft: The Cradle of Life, Marie Antoinette, Practical Magic, Room, Sugar & Spice, The Other Boleyn Girl, The Women and more.

Happy Face

Speaking of strong leading ladies, don’t miss the premiere of the original series Happy Face, inspired by the true-life story of Melissa G. Moore (played by Annaleigh Ashford) who discovered that her once beloved father, Keith Jesperson (Dennis Quaid), was the prolific serial killer known as Happy Face.

Miss Congeniality, starring Sandra Bullock, Michael Caine, and Benjamin Bratt, remains one of Bullock's best performances. As Gracie Hart, Bullock is an FBI agent transformed into a beauty pageant contestant — despite her abhorrence of the events. The tomboy-turned-knockout competes at the Miss United States Pageant to investigate threats and violence against her fellow contestants, with pratfalls and gaffs at every turn.

The success of Miss Congeniality resulted in a sequel in 2005. Released five years after the original, Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous, united Bullock with Regina Hall in a female buddy comedy. Gracie Hart, too high-profile to be an effective FBI agent, becomes the face of the Bureau with Agent Sam Fuller (Hall) as her partner.

The first Miss Congeniality earned Bullock a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, was a huge box office success, and was fairly well received by critics. The sequel was far less successful and,...

A seven-issue series created by New York Times bestselling author Joe Hill (The Black Phone), and illustrated by Leomacs, Basketful of Heads watches as June discovers that every bad guy she decapitates leaves a talking head behind.

Nicole Kidman's steamy erotic film, Babygirl, is heading back to theaters, just in time for Valentine's Day.

Additionally, A24's online store features five free and printable Valentine's Day cards featuring Kidman's Romy and her intern / lover, Samuel (Harris Dickinson).

Babygirl, written and directed by Halina Reijn (Bodies Bodies Bodies), originally opened on Christmas Day last year and was released to rent or purchase a month later on January 28, 2025. It should be available on Max soon, as the streamer has a deal with A24.

Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock are set to reunite nearly three decades after their first on-screen appearance as sisters Sally and Gillian Owens in ‘Practical Magic,’ for a highly anticipated sequel.

Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock in Practical Magic (1998)❤️‍...

Practical Magic 2 is getting closer to production, Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are onboard, Susanne Bier is in talks to direct.

It was confirmed last year that Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are in talks to reprise their roles for a sequel to the 1998 fantasy Practical Magic. Akiva Goldsman will return to write the script. Alice Hoffman, who wrote the original novel in 1995, also published a sequel called The Book Of Magic in 2021.

Based on the 1995 novel by Hoffman, Practical Magic put a slightly different spin in the romantic drama. Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman play witch sisters Sally and Gillian Owens, whose family has been plagued for generations by a curse that kills any man they fall in love with. They have to use their magic to destroy the spirit of Gillian’s abusive boyfriend.

The film also starred Goran Visnjic, Stockard Channing, Dianne Wiest and Aidan Quinn.

Warner Bros' long-awaited Practical Magic sequel is reportedly in talks to secure an Oscar-winning filmmaker to lead the project. Susanne Bier is in negotiations with the studio for the film.

According to Deadline, a deal between Warner Bros and Bier hasn't been finalized yet. Bier, a Danish filmmaker, has directed Sandra Bullock before in 2018's Bird Box. Bier is the first female director to collectively receive an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, a Primetime Emmy Award and a European Film Award. Most recently, she directed Netflix's mystery drama miniseries The Perfect Couple, which premiered on Sept. 5, 2024.

Deadline reports that Oscar, Golden Globe, and Emmy-winning director Susanne Bier has been tapped to direct the sequel to the beloved 1998 witchy rom-com Practical Magic. While the deal with Warner Bros., the studio behind the film, isn't quite sealed yet, it is a promising update on the highly anticipated reunion of Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman.

This will be a reteaming for both stars as Bullock worked with Bier on Netflix's Bird Box, an adaptation of the horror novel of the same name by Josh Malerman, and Kidman worked with the director on two previous projects, the HBO series The Undoing and the Netflix miniseries The Perfect Couple. Bier won an Academy Award for best international feature for her 2010 film In a Better World. She also directed the 2007 drama Things We Lost in the Fire, starring Halle Berry and Benicio del Toro, and is the main creative force behind...

Deadline reports that Susanne Bier is in talks to direct Practical Magic 2 for Warner Bros. The original film starred Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock as two witch sisters who are raised by their eccentric aunts in a small town where they are faced with closed-minded prejudice and a curse that threatens to prevent them from ever finding lasting love.

Kidman and Bullock will be reprising their roles of Gillian and Sally Owens, respectively. Both actresses have already worked with Bier. She directed Bullock on Netflix’s Bird Box and worked with Kidman on HBO’s The Undoing and Netflix’s The Perfect Couple.

Bird Box director Susanne Bier is in negations to helm Practical Magic 2, Deadline reports.

Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are set to reprise their roles as witch sisters Sally and Gillian Owens from the 1998 supernatural romantic comedy.

Bier has worked with both actresses in the past: Bullock on Bird Box and Kidman on “The Undoing” and “The Perfect Couple.”

Akiva Goldsman, who co-wrote the original, is returning to pen the script. Bullock and Kidman are producing alongside returning producer Denise Di Novi.

Despite only grossing $68.3 million worldwide against a $75 million budget, Practical Magic has since gained a cult following that Warner Bros. hopes to leverage for the sequel.

Directed by Griffin Dunne, the original film saw two witch sisters, raised by their eccentric aunts in a small town, face closed-minded prejudice and a curse which threatens to prevent them ever finding lasting love.

Nicole Kidman is an actress with a career spanning decades. However, the star has also opened up about an ongoing issue she’s endured: night terrors that keep her up at night. The issue has also gotten the actress to take a look at her life.

Nicole Kidman Admitted She Finds Herself Waking Up At Three In The Morning

After starting her career in Australia, Kidman became internationally known through films like Days of Thunder, Batman Forever, Practical Magic, and Eyes Wide Shut. Since then, she’s appeared in a variety of notably projects, including Moulin Rouge!, Australia, Paddington, Aquaman, and Babygirl.

Kidman has notably earned multiple nominations and wins over the years thanks to her work as an actress. In 2002, she won the 2022 Academy Award for Best Actress for The Hours. To her name, the actress has earned at least 155 wins to her name over the years.

It's been a hot minute since we've heard anything on the highly anticipated sequel to the beloved 90s film, Practical Magic. Announced last summer, the sequel will adapt the follow-up novel The Book of Magic by Alice Hoffman. Original leads Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are set to reprise their roles as Sally and Gillian Owens. After the recent shake-up at Warner Bros. where the movie is being produced, it may leave fans concerned if the sequel is still happening. Reportedly, according to Deadline, Practical Magic 2 is still happening, despite the exits of Worldwide Marketing President Josh Goldstine and International Theatrical Distribution President Andrew Cripps. The report also includes the likes of Lord of the Rings The Hunt for Gollum, DC’s Clayface, and Supergirl.

Nicole Kidman addresses whether her children will be watching her erotic thriller movie with 77% on Rotten Tomatoes. Kidman has had a prolific career that began with the Australian movies Bush Christmas and BMX Bandits in 1983. She has since gone on to become one of the most recognizable and acclaimed actors across the globe. In the 1990s, she starred in Days of Thunder, Batman Forever, Practical Magic, and Eyes Wide Shut.

The 2000s led to some of Nicole Kidman's best movies, including The Hours, which won her an Academy Award, and Moulin Rouge!, for which she received an Academy Award nomination. Kidman has also made her mark on television with lead roles in HBO's hit series Big Little Lies and The Undoing, along with Hulu's Nine Perfect Strangers. Her movie career has continued to be impressive as well, ranging from Robert Eggers' The Northman to A24's Babygirl.

Nicole Kidman recently shared with The Guardian that she would love to revisit her role as Grace in The Others. This came up during a conversation with her Big Little Lies co-star Reese Witherspoon, who asked which role Kidman would want to explore further.

Kidman revealed that she has a strong connection to Grace, noting how the film is often overlooked despite her deep love for the character.

The Others is a psychological horror from 2001, where Kidman plays Grace, a mother living in a dark, eerie estate with her two children who suffer from photosensitivity. The film, set in 1945, follows Grace as she suspects the house might be haunted while waiting for news about her husband, who is away fighting in World War II.

The film was a critical success, with Kidman receiving a BAFTA nomination for her performance, and it won multiple Saturn Awards, including Best Horror Movie. With a budget of just $17 million,...

Nicole Kidman is an icon in the world of Hollywood for a reason. Bringing a layer of mystery to her roles while simultaneously seeming like the most welcoming person in any cast, the actress is almost paradoxical with her acting. From recent works like Babygirl to older classic projects like Moulin Rouge, she is ingrained into the very fabric of the film industry.

While there are more than a few iconic works that Kidman has starred in her career, there is one film that caters to a completely different audience. In 1998, she starred in Practical Magic alongside Sandra Bullock. The film was so iconic that it is currently getting a sequel.

However, this is not surprising considering the rare dynamic that Kidman and Bullock shared.

Nicole Kidman recently gave an interview with British GQ,...

Nicole Kidman stars in an upcoming erotic thriller from the director of 2022’s Bodies Bodies Bodies. Here’s the trailer for Babygirl:

Fans of grown-up cinema releases are about to hit something of a dry spell over Christmas once Edward Berger’s Conclave is released at the end of this month. Still, the beginning of January 2025 heralds a new year and plenty of films with mature themes and ideas to get excited about. One of them is Babygirl, an erotic thriller that comes courtesy of A24. Nicole Kidman will be joined by Triangle Of Sadness’ Harris Dickinson, Antonio Banderas alongside Jean Reno and Sophie Wilde, star of 2022’s horror breakout, Talk To Me.

The film will be directed by Halina Reijn, who was behind 2022’s sharp horror satire, Bodies Bodies Bodies. This looks to be something of a genre shift for Reijn, but we’re hoping Babygirl can realise...

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Nicole Kidman was asked if there were any directors she'd love to work with that she hadn't worked with already. The actress listed several names, including Paul Thomas Anderson, Spike Jonze, and Kathryn Bigelow, but one particular name mentioned by Kidman may have come with a little bit of shade.

Ive always said I want to work with [Martin] Scorsese, if he does a film with women.

This is likely in reference to Scorsese's penchant for making films mostly about (and even arguably for) men, a criticism of his work that made headlines in 2019 when the director stated he didn't "have time anymore" to write for women.

Scorsese and his fans point to several titles in the filmmaker's large body of work that feature strong roles for women, namely Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, one of only a few titles to feature a woman as the protagonist.

Let’s talk about one of Hollywood’s most underrated rom-com dynamos: Hugh Grant. Sandra Bullock once pointed out the hilarious (and kind of sad) truth about his career—he doesn’t get nearly enough credit for his genius. Two Weeks Notice being the perfect example.

Hugh Grant’s charm, wit, and perfect timing are practically criminally overlooked. But hey, in the world of rom-coms, sometimes the funny guy just doesn’t get the spotlight.

Sandra Bullock has a lot to say about Hugh Grant’s underrated comedic genius. In a candid chat with blackfilm.com, Bullock highlighted how Grant’s effortless charm often leads to him being overlooked for the recognition he deserves.

Well, it’s often said that when a woman changes her hairstyle, she’s on the verge of a significant transformation; but what about the women who simply change their hair without ever cutting it? Wigs have been the unsung heroes of the film and television industry for decades, helping actors slip into character while keeping the audience entranced. Yet, as time has passed, our relationship with these hairpieces has taken an unexpected turn. Once seamlessly woven into the fabric of storytelling, today’s wigs often stand out like a sore thumb. So, what gives?

So, in discussing the finale of the series, we had her round up a few recommendations for those who want to understand and experience the series a bit deeper. Here are 10 movies like “Agatha All Along” that Schaeffer would suggest you watch next.

Sandra Bullock may have reigned as the queen of romantic comedies, but her real life has been anything but a fairytale, though she still manages to shine! More recently her love story took a tragic turn in August 2023 when her longtime partner, Bryan Randall, passed away at 57 after a private battle with Als.

Why Sandra Bullock Never Wanted to Date an Actor

Sandra Bullock dated Tate Donovan from 1990 to around 1994 and was completely head over heels for him, but their romance eventually came to an end. At that time, she was also linked to NFL star Troy Aikman. From the outset, her romantic journey has been anything but predictable,...

Even if you haven’t seen Practical Magic — the 1998 fantasy film starring Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock as cursed sister-witches — you know the “midnight margaritas” scene. It happens shortly after Gillian and Sally Owens (Kidman and Bullock, respectively) accidentally murder Gillian’s abusive boyfriend Jimmy Angelov (Goran Višnjić). They revive an even worse version of Angelov from the dead, kill him again with a frying pan, and frantically cover up their crime. You know, normal witch stuff.

But then things start looking up — at least briefly. The Owens’ aunts, played...

Practical Magic is finally getting a sequel, and theres an important lesson it has to learn from one of Hocus Pocus 2s biggest mistakes. As the trends of legacy sequels and revivals gain force, more and more franchises and movies join, and among the latest ones is Practical Magic. Based on the book of the same name by Alice Hoffman and directed by Griffin Dunne, Practical Magic takes viewers to a small Massachusetts town to meet the Owens family, who, due to their ancestor, witch Maria Owens, carry a curse: any man who an Owens woman loves will die.

When the curse catches up with Sally (Sandra Bullock) and becomes a widow and single mother, she moves back with her aunts Jet (Dianne Wiest) and Frances (Stockard Channing). Some time later, Sally joins forces with her sister Gillian (Nicole Kidman) to get rid of her toxic boyfriend, but after killing him in self-defense,...

But there’s one movie which despite its lackluster performance at the box office is considered a spooky season cult classic, Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman’s iconic Practical Magic. However, its failure to achieve big numbers at the box office and positive reviews from movie critics might’ve been caused by a small accident involving an actual witch.

Freeform’s 31 Nights of Halloween has several classic films airing all month long such as Casper (1995), Arachnophobia, Goosebumps, Edward Scissorhands, etc.

M. Night Shyamalan has had one of the most fascinating careers in Hollywood history. Since falling from grace in the late 2000s, he's gone back to smaller budgets and more contained movies, in the process delivering one banger after another. From the critical and financial success of "Split," to the absolutely wild concept of "Old," Shyamalan has been on a roll in recent years. His latest film, "Trap," is a messy tale of two movies, as /Film's own Jeremy Mathai wrote in his review. One half is a nail-biting, tense thriller about a serial killer trapped at a concert with some rather catchy songs. The other is an increasingly silly, yet still thrilling cat-and-mouse game that changes the protagonist from Josh Hartnett's killer to Saleka Shyamalan's world-famous pop star, Lady Raven.

While "Trap" was only a modest box office success — mostly due to "Deadpool & Wolverine" being the...

Warning! This article contains Spoilers for Practical Magic.

When Practical Magic first hit theaters on October 16, 1998, it received mixed reviews and didnt break even on its budget, but over the years, it developed a cult following that helped it become known as one of the best witch movies. Beyond the interesting story about a family curse, magic, and romance, part of what keeps people returning to Practical Magic is its star cast which includes Sandra Bullock as Sally Owens and Nicole Kidman as Gillian Owens. At its core, Practical Magic is about sisterhood, with Bullock and Kidman developing great chemistry.

Unfortunately, it was the only time the two stars shared the big screen, which made it even more special. With Practical Magic 2 recently announced, Kidman and Bullock will hopefully reunite onscreen as the Owens sisters. Little has been revealed about the sequel yet, but Practical Magic is worth the...
