Olivia Rodrigo Raises $20 Million With Daisy Chain Fields Festival Thanks to Matching Commitment From Melinda French Gates
Show moreSandra Bullock Seemingly Drops Hint That Olivia Rodrigo and Stevie Nicks Have Music in ‘Practical Magic 2’
The timing of Bullock's tease is particularly intriguing, as it comes on the heels of a standout moment at Saturday's Daisy Chain Fields music festival. During her headlining set, Rodrigo surprised the crowd by bringing out Nicks for a duet of the 1975 Fleetwood Mac classic "Landslide." Nicks, clearly moved by the experience, praised the younger singer on stage: "She reminds me of me, when I was her age a hundred years ago. And I'm somewhat awestruck that she could do all this. Because it's so hard, you have no idea, putting this together with all of these people. And she's done it, with this grace." The performance itself was a generational meeting of two artists known for their deeply personal songwriting and emotional live shows.
Should the collaboration come to fruition, it would add another layer of musical pedigree to a project already steeped in nostalgia. The sequel, directed by Susanne Bier of *Bird Box* fame, brings back original stars Nicole Kidman and Bullock, who reprise their roles as Gillian and Sally Owens, respectively. The story follows the witch sisters and their family as they grapple with a multi-generational curse. Joining the returning cast are Stockard Channing, Dianne Wiest, Cassie Bradley, Joey King, Maisie Williams, and Lee Pace, with a script penned by Akiva Goldsman, Georgia Pritchett, and Kelly Marcel. The original *Practical Magic* received mixed reviews upon its 1998 release, but its home video afterlife transformed it into a beloved cult classic, paving the way for this long-anticipated follow-up.
The sequel is slated to hit theaters on September 11, positioning it squarely within Hollywood's current wave of Y2K-era revivals. This trend has already seen the return of *The Devil Wears Prada* in 2026, alongside reboots like *Scary Movie* and *Toy Story 5*, with *Shrek 5* and Greta Gerwig's *Narnia* adaptation arriving in 2027. For Bullock, whose last major role was in the 2022 action-comedy *The Lost City*, this project marks a return to a franchise that holds a special place in the hearts of millennials. As for the potential musical collaboration, industry insiders note that Nicks' ethereal style would fit seamlessly into the film's mystical atmosphere, while Rodrigo's modern pop sensibility could bridge the gap between the original's 90s charm and a contemporary audience. Whether the "angel voices" will indeed grace the soundtrack remains to be seen, but the prospect has already generated considerable buzz online.
