Evan Rachel Wood Calls Out ‘Practical Magic’ Co-Stars: ‘No One Who Worked on the Original Film’ Talked to Her About Sequel
"I really appreciated Joey King reaching out," the "Shards" star says on Instagram The post Evan Rachel Wood Calls Out ‘Practical Magic’ Co-Stars: ‘No One Who Worked on the Original Film’ Talked to Her About Sequel appeared first on TheWrap .
In a recent Instagram story, actress Evan Rachel Wood expressed her disappointment that no one involved in the original "Practical Magic" film reached out to her regarding the upcoming sequel. Only her co-star Joey King, who is set to play the role of Kylie Owens, reached out to Wood. Wood appreciated King's gesture, describing her as a "sweetheart."
Susanne Bier, the director of the sequel, stated that the decision to replace Wood was not personal, but rather a necessity due to the characters' ages. The new film will see King play Kylie, the oldest daughter of Sandra Bullock's character Sally Owens, who develops her own magical abilities. The sequel, based on Alice Hoffman's novels "Practical Magic" and "The Book of Magic," is set to release almost 30 years after the original, directed by Griffin Dunne.
While Wood is disappointed with the decision, she received support from former cast member Alexandra Artrip, who praised Wood's bravery.
