They love you. We love you. Welcome back.
Thanks for being here.
I want to get into the movie,
Practical Magic 2, this Thursday.
Congrats. First off, look at you
on the cover of Interview magazine.
Look at that. Fantastic.
Gorgeous.
I didn't look like that arriving there,
and I don't look like that having left there,
but as long as I look like that in here, we're good.
It's a work of art.
It's beautiful, isn't it?
Do you like doing photo shoots?
Not at all.
Oh.
Not at all.
No.
Why?
No.
Since I was a child, I don't like to have to work it
in front of a still camera.
I don't know how to...
It's awkward.
I mean, are you comfortable?
Me?
No.
Not at all.
But if I look like Sandra Bullock,
I probably would be very...
Well, Sandra Bullock didn't...
Well, she didn't look like that when she arrived,
but she looks like that here.
Oh, I see.
And then when she left and went home to the kids,
that's not who came home.
That's not very good.
It's not.
I do love Interview magazine, by the way.
It's one of the best out there.
It's great.
It's been around.
If you don't know,
they interview the people in the magazine,
and Jennifer Aniston...
Yes, she did.
...interviews you.
She did.
And did a great...
I know you guys are good friends.
She's a superb interviewer.
She goes deep.
She does?
She goes deep, yeah.
Oh, really?
Yeah, yeah.
Probing question.
Really?
Probing question?
Yeah.
Do you lose...
Is it more fun doing an interview
with someone that you know that well?
Yeah, I think so,
because you know you're going to be safe,
and if she brings up something
I don't want her to talk about,
I'll bring up something
she doesn't want anyone to know.
It's a good pro quo.
It's a good balance.
You've done some very cool things in your career.
Something that just came to my knowledge,
I did not know this trivia about Sandra Bullock,
is that you were one of the...
I think the first person...
Yes, this is true.
The first person ever to buy a movie ticket online.
Yes.
I did a movie called The Net,
which was all about hacking,
before hacking became...
Yeah, we went to The Net.
It's great.
Really?
Yeah.
So it was Erwin Winkler who produced it.
He set up this thing.
He goes,
you're going to buy a ticket.
And I was like,
sure, okay.
So he sets it up
and I thought it was fake at first,
but it was legit.
It was a legitimate setup on a computer
that looked like it was hand-cranked at the time.
And I bought the very first ticket.
We have some footage here.
Watch this.
You know what's amazing?
I just want to make a little point here
that modern technology...
I'm just very emotional today.
Okay, what show do you want to go to?
Build Your Ticket Order.
You have selected the 10.20 show for The Net
at the Hollywood Galaxy 6.
We have to press this button to send our order.
Here we go.
I'm going to think I'm going to cry.
I'm just very emotional.
You're the first one.
You must verify ticket availability.
Hey!
Tickets are confirmed.
You're on the show.
Beautiful thing.
Did you have any idea that now, of course,
we'll all be buying our tickets online?
Yes, I did.
You knew?
Yeah, I knew.
I thought myself to be a mini-techie at the time.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm so not now,
but at that time, I was.
How are your kids, by the way?
They're 16 and 14?
Two teenagers?
16 and 13.
13.
Yeah, two teenagers.
Two teenagers.
That's a lot.
I'm in it to win it.
Yes!
Any advice for the teenagers?
I'm sorry.
Okay, thank you very much.
Yeah, exactly.
No, look, you can't give anyone advice on their kids.
Everyone's got unique kids.
I have a beautiful 16-and-a-half-year-old boy
who's all things basketball and fashion,
and a daughter who's a government hacker.
She's just...
She's what this movie was about,
and I think that was sort of a forewarning
of what I was going to be living through.
Yeah, and do they have cameos in Practical Magic 2?
Well, they are in voice and in spirit.
In their voice, because I recorded,
like most parents nowadays,
you can record anything that they do.
So every laugh, every...
It's like thousands of hours.
So they're in the movie?
Their voices are.
No way.
How did you think to put them in?
Well, there was a scene where...
There is a scene where my character,
who's cut herself off,
because she could sense people before
and sense her children,
but she has since made a spell
so her children don't remember their magic
because she feels like it brings too much tragedy.
So she's blocked as well.
So she just wants normalcy,
wants a normal life.
And she goes to this professor
who's known for his spiritual, magical powers,
and he unblocks people.
So he unblocks me, Sally, not me.
And the first thing that we hear,
they were like,
well, what should it be?
Should it be the ancestors?
And I was like, no.
First thing I hear always are my babies.
You always hear the babies.
So I was like, let's chronologically play my kids
as much as we can up to a certain age
as we have time for in the film.
So that's where they are.
That's so cute.
I love that.
I love that you thought of that.
Do they keep you up to date on the new lingo
and how everyone talks now?
Oh, yeah.
But by the time I work it into my vernacular,
like I make it smooth,
like it just rolls off the tongue,
I'm so behind.
Me too.
It's like, what are you on now?
I mean, I'm not on 6-7.
It's gone.
I know enough of that.
I actually stopped it before even.
Before it became passage?
You knew it was gone?
No, I didn't even do it when it was cool.
I was like, I know this is going to go away.
Oh, I would do it.
I throw around unk now.
Oh, OK.
I like chud.
It's a good one.
I like chud.
It really works and it's easy to sort of like,
you're such a chud.
And then the kids are like, mom.
I'm like, it's still working right now.
But it hasn't been, you know,
airlifted out of the lingo.
Yeah.
Lange is a new one.
What's Lange?
Lange means that someone's good looking.
Oh, Lange?
He's Lange.
Not Lane, but Lange.
Like Jessica Lange.
L-E-N-G, Lange.
Oh, Lange.
Oh, he's Lange.
Where does that come from?
I don't know.
Anyone?
Did I make that up?
I might have made it up.
It's not even a real thing.
I'm making up words.
But it will be now.
But it will be tomorrow.
Everyone's going to be like,
dude, Sandra Bullock is so Lange.
Oh, my God.
You're so Lange.
Let's talk about Practical Magic 2.
You and Nicole Kidman are back.
Come on.
That's what I'm talking about.
How do we set up what's going on in this one?
In this one, based on Alice Hoffman's book,
who wrote the first one,
The Book of Magic.
Now, it's 20 some years later.
And the person that I fell in love with
in the very end of the last film
succumbed to the curse.
And that was not a good thing.
And so, therefore, I shut everything down.
I erased my children's memory of their magic
so we could live normal lives.
And that's where we pick up,
where my beautiful daughters,
played by Joey King and Maisie Williams,
who are unbelievable.
Yeah, we love that.
They are not chutz.
No, not at all.
They are Lange for days.
I know it's wrong.
Thank you.
No, it's good.
Lange is totally happy right now.
Tomorrow we're going to hear how wrong we were.
Lange is trending right now.
It was so good.
But isn't it great, though,
having the feedback of these fans
hearing that they want to see Practical Magic, too?
Yeah.
I mean, when you made the first one,
you were like,
Well, when we made the first one,
we were like,
and it was heartbreaking for us
when it first happened,
but we knew why we made it.
There was such a love for the first book, right?
And there's a specific fan base.
And they came eventually through streaming
and things like that.
Everyone found their way back to it.
You're like, people like this movie.
Yeah.
And you never get asked to make something like,
Will you please make the second one?
We were like,
Well, I guess we have to.
And you knew now was the time.
You were like,
This just felt right.
Everything just came together
at a certain point.
Like, everyone's lives,
all of us sort of were able to do it.
Kids were out of school for the summer.
I said,
I can do it for these three months.
Yeah.
Take the kids out, you know.
Yeah.
And then we just did it.
And then everyone got back together.
Yeah.
Nicole, Diane Wiest,
Stockard Channing.
Come on.
They are.
I'm sorry.
That's not what I did.
I don't know why I did that.
You opened up.
I know I opened up.
I was going to do more,
but I only did one.
A lot of hands.
I only did one clap,
and I started to clap.
But you did like a bat.
I did.
Yeah.
It's almost like a pit boss.
I'm like,
There you go.
My job's done.
Enjoy the rest of your time.
That's how I do it.
I'm going to work that into my shtick.
Yeah.
No problem.
Laying in that.
Yeah.
Fans have been dissecting
a lot of rumors about practical magic
that have popped up on the Internet.
I thought maybe it could be fun
if I read some,
and you could tell me
if some of these rumors are true or false.
Okay.
Would love to.
Here we go.
The original production
was cursed by a real witch.
Was she a real witch?
I mean,
I feel like a good,
you know,
I feel like a witch,
a good human who has healing abilities
and intuitive
wouldn't curse anyone else.
Okay.
They wouldn't do that.
But that person apparently did.
So it was cursed,
do you think?
I don't know.
Okay.
All right.
Very good.
All right.
Barbara Streisand
tried to buy the Owens house
that was used in the film.
She did.
And it wasn't even a house.
It was a facade.
We were in San Juan.
What would Barbara do with it?
Well,
she didn't know it was a facade.
That's how beautifully it was done.
Wow.
The inside pieces
were all done on a stage
with the exception of the kitchen
and the solarium,
which we had like in a corner
of that facade,
but it was just two corners.
That's fun.
Yeah.
You and Nicole Kidman
would bounce together
to get ready to film a scene.
We're bouncers.
I feel like that.
We're method actors
in that way
that we just like to...
Have fun and wake it up.
Wake it up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Practical Magic
is being developed
into a stage musical.
I heard that
with, I think,
Nora Jones doing the music.
How fabulous is that?
Oh, I love that.
Right?
I mean,
I think that's true.
Last one.
Would you potentially
be interested
in doing Practical Magic 3?
We would
to pass...
light the torches
of the girls,
the young ones,
Joey and Maisie.
Pass it on.
We'd be the ants.
Yes!
I would love this.
Here we go.
Love it.
Come on, come on.
Sandra Bullock
in Practical Magic 2.
Take a look at this.
May I?
Yes.
You're scared.
She's scared.
You're afraid of your power.
Well,
I've seen what my power can do.
You ignore your heritage
at your peril.
Oh, my God.
Can we please not
do the peril speech?
It's just...
You're blocked.
Yeah, she's very blocked.
You know what?
I'm not a drain.
I'm a human being.
Highly repressed human being.
Come on, Sandra Bullock!
Breaks the ground.
