Why Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman believe cult classics are suddenly getting sequels

Practical Magic stars Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman have opened up about why they believe beloved nineties and noughties films such as How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and The Devil Wears Prada are getting sequels made decades later.

Speaking at the European premiere in London on Wednesday (26 August), Kidman told The Independent that Practical Magic 2, released 28 years after the first film, exists because of fans: "It's about sisterhood, it's about family... When it first came out, it reached a smaller section of people than we'd hoped for, and then suddenly it found its way.”

Bullock described how "special" and "easy" it was to return to her character, Sally Owens, adding:  "It found its people and its tribe through social media, all the themes got to live over and over and over again... And when you see something that beloved, you don't wanna mess with it. But then Alice Hoffman wrote the book."
