Sandra Bullock Reveals Unexpected Regret Over ‘Practical Magic 2’—Was a Simple Dinner With Nicole Kidman All She Really Wanted?

Ever get the sense that every blockbuster could just as easily have been a delightfully awkward wine-and-oysters reunion? Well, Sandra Bullock certainly does—at least when it comes to her latest Hollywood adventure. Honestly, why spend weeks filming under bright studio lights when you could be basking in the warm, gossipy glow of Nicole Kidman’s company in a dimly lit booth, slurping shellfish and dodging paparazzi? If only the movie execs realized the real “magic” might be found in a simple dinner reservation and not a legacy sequel . But hey, would you pay to watch two Oscar-winners texting about Craig’s rather than brewing potions on screen? Stranger things have topped the box office. For all the juicy details on Bullock’s sequel regrets—and why she’s now avoiding contracts like bad oysters—LEARN MORE.

BEVERLY HILLS, CA—Expressing regret over her decision to star in and produce the film Practical Magic 2, co-lead Sandra Bullock told reporters Friday that she should have just had dinner with Nicole Kidman. “Honestly, when the studio came to me and asked if I wanted to do a legacy sequel, I was so excited about the idea of catching up with Nicole, I signed the contract without even thinking,” said Bullock, who shook her head as she lamented the “weeks and weeks” wasted shooting and promoting the film when the two of them could have simply shared a leisurely evening in the back booth of a restaurant gossiping over cocktails and oysters instead. “I feel so silly. I have her number; I could have just shot her a quick text asking if she wanted me to get a reservation at Craig’s. People probably would have paid a shit-ton of money to see that too.” At press time, Bullock was kicking herself after hastily signing a contract to star in Miss Congeniality 3.
