Nicole Kidman is eager to dive into filming Practical Magic 2 alongside her longtime friend Sandra Bullock.
Kidman encouraged Bullock to shed her conservative image and embrace a bolder persona both on-screen and off, a report claimed.
"Sandra, Nicole and their respective teams are pretty fired up to make Practical Magic 2, and it's not just going to be a nostalgic retread of the first movie; it's going to be a reinvention and hopefully more of a 'water cooler' kind of movie that gets people talking," the insider revealed, emphasizing the excitement surrounding the much-anticipated sequel.
The two actresses will have 'free reign to explore the kind of adult and interesting issues' in the new movie.
The source pointed out that the "biggest difference" in this sequel is the inclusion of a female director. "They'll have free reign to explore the kind of adult and interesting issues that Nicole especially has been fond of during her many recent streaming projects and films," the insider noted.
"This is going to be a Practical Magic for the people who made Big Little Lies a hit," the insider continued. "Sandra loves that Nicole has this edgy sensibility she wants to bring to this project, which is going to be one big metaphor for women rediscovering their sexuality later in life."
Nicole Kidman reportedly encouraged Sandra Bullock to embrace a more liberated image for 'Practical Magic 2.'
While The Blind Side actress plans to delve into those themes, the characters will maintain their distinct personalities. "Sandra is going to continue to play the shyer and more bookish of the two," the insider added. "That said, they both want to look hot as h--- in this movie, on the movie poster and on the red carpet when they're out promoting it."
Though embracing a s--- image doesn't come naturally to Bullock, she is ready to invest the time in the makeup truck and wardrobe trailer for this project.
