Anne Hathaway's Simple Mani Proves Andy Sachs Figured Out the Cool Girl Nail Formula
The devil wears soap nails. How excited are you for The Devil Wears Prada 2? I'm about as excited as I am for Practical Magic 2, which is to say *extremely* excited. After what feels like decades of teasing, we got confirmation this week that both movies are in production. And while it was a treat to see Nicole Kidman back in her wispy copper bangs on that witchy set, it's perhaps even more exciting to see Anne Hathaway take to the streets as a 20-years-into-her-journalism-career Andy Sachs. She might've given up the fashion and beauty magazine world the last time we saw her (although photos of Hathaway with a Runway garment bag would beg to differ); but at the very least, it appears she's still been reading them. Anne Hathaway's Simple Soap Manicure In photos snapped from the movie set on Monday, July 21, Hathaway hits the streets in a selection of outfits and one very good soap manicure. The celebrity favorite nail style involves squeaky clean-looking nail beds and either the nudest of nude polish colors or a simple top coat. Hathaway went the nude route, choosing a sheer pink shade for a barely-there-but-still-manicured finish. I've seen enough manicure trends come and go that I could easily write a cerulean-style speech about polish choices. But in some photos, Hathaway is clutching a Runway-branded garment bag... so maybe she's still one step ahead of me in the trend prediction world. Anne Hathaway's Andy Sachs Style To further get into character, Hathaway's hair was styled in long, middle-parted soft curls. Of her many outfits, my favorite was a long denim skirt that she paired with black Chanel Birkenstock-style sandals and a white tank. She topped the look with an open Jean Paul Gaultier pinstriped vest, choosing to wear it buttoned up and with matching pants in some other shots. A colorful maxi dress also made an appearance, and there's certainly much more where that came from. It's The Devil Wears Prada 2!!!!!! Okay, okay. Maybe I am more excited for this one. Now give us a look at Meryl Streep. Read the original article on Byrdie Solve the daily Crossword

‘Peacemaker' Season 2 Will Have a Major Connection to ‘Superman'
James Gunn teases the 'complete horror' of the Clayface movie. Get a tiny look at Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman's returns for Practical Magic 2. Plus, a sneak peek at the season finale of Rick and Morty. Spoilers get!According to a new report from Bloomberg, Toho is now considering a sequel to 2016's Shin Godzilla, though a deal has yet to be made. During a recent interview with CBS Morning (via Fangoria), James Gunn described Clayface as 'a complete horror film.' We've got Clayface, which is a totally different thing. Although it's in the same universe, it's a complete horror film. That's one of the things we want to do – there's not a company style. It's not like every movie is going to be like Superman. The artists – the directors and the writers – each one will bring their own sense to it… That's what we want to bring to the films because we don't want people to get bored. We want to invigorate people. Nicole Kidman shared behind-the-scenes footage of herself with Sandra Bullock on the set of Practical Magic 2. View this post on InstagramBloody-Disgusting has a new clip of Brandon Routh dodging slime in Ick. A pianist with bone cancer taps into the subatomic universe in a last-ditch effort to keep her hands in the trailer for The A-Frame, coming to VOD this August 5. A woman awakens from a five-year coma to find her town has been overtaken by a cult in the trailer for The Observance, starring Kate Dailey and Ted Raimi. During a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, James Gunn revealed 'the whole [second] season of Peacemaker revolves around' the idea of 'pocket universes' introduced in Superman. Yes, absolutely it is. You'll see in Peacemaker [season 2], too… It's just Lex's version is much jankier than the one in Peacemaker. The one in Peacemaker works better. What the whole season of Peacemaker revolves around is that. I think of Peacemaker as more of a high-concept story about one other world. It's more akin to Philip Roth's [1996 novel] The Counterlife than it is to the third Spider-Man movie [2021's No Way Home]… I love that movie, but it isn't about that. It isn't Deadpool & Wolverine. It's really a very simple, simple story about [Chris Smith's] relationship to this one other world. Finally, Jerry goes to bat for Rick in a clip from next Sunday's season finale of Rick and Morty.

Nicole Kidman Shares First Behind-the-Scenes Look With Sandra Bullock for 'Practical Magic 2'
The witchy 1998 classic Practical Magic starring Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock is getting a part two. The leading ladies are 'in negotiations' to come back as their characters, sister witches Sally (Bullock) and Gillian (Kidman), according to Deadline. In June 2024, the official Warner Bros. Pictures Instagram account confirmed plans for the film's sequel. The brand shared a series of memes made with scenes from the original movie, starting the carousel with a clip of Sally running and jumping into Michael's (Mark Feuerstein) arms for a kiss. In May 2025, Warner Bros. confirmed a Sept. 18, 2026 release date for the film. 'It's official! Practical Magic 2 is in development and coming soon. 🌟🧙♀️,' Warner Bros. captioned the post. Warner Bros. also shared the news on TikTok, posting a video of Sally and Gillian dancing and sipping their midnight margaritas. 'Me and the girls finding out Practical Magic 2 is happening,' the text read. On June 13, 2024, Kidman confirmed to People that she and Bullock will be returning as the sisters. She told the publication with a laugh, 'Yes I will be in it. And Sandy will be in it. And that's that. There's a lot more to tell which is why we go, "OK, this is kind of interesting now to be able to do this."' '[We] found a way in,' she quipped. In July 2025, Evan Rachel Wood cleared up rumors about a potential return as Kylie Owens, saying in her Instagram Stories that she would not be in the sequel. 'I am getting asked about this a lot, so I'll just clear it up now,' she wrote. 'I was not asked to come back and be in the #PracticalMagic sequel.' Woods says she reached out to express interest in returning, but was not offered a role. 'I offered my services, even if it was one scene or one line,' she continued. 'I was told they are recasting. I am sorry to disappoint the fans. It was not in my control or my choice. I would have happily rejoined my sisters.' The original Practical Magic follows sisters Sally and Gillian Owens who were orphaned as kids and raised by their aunts Francis (Stockard Channing) and Jet (Dianne Wiest), who teach them the ways of witchcraft. But a curse placed on their bloodline, which causes any man that an Owens woman loves to die, causes Sally and Gillian swear off magic in their adult lives. However, some sticky situations lead the sisters right back to casting spells in order to save their lives. The film is based on the same-name book by Alice Hoffman. Details on the next film's plot and cast are still mostly under wraps. On January 24, 2025, Deadline reported that Oscar winner Susanne Bier was in negotiations to direct. Bier is a favorite of both the stars, who have worked with her on various other projects: Bier directed Bullock in Netflix's Bird Box, and Kidman for the series The Undoing and miniseries The Perfect Couple. Yes! On July 18, Kidman shared a clip from behind-the-scenes on set. In the brief moment, she and Bullock are standing by a fake grave in maxi dresses, with Kidman wearing her iconic strawberry blonde wig from the film. They embrace and smile, even after the scene appears to end. 'The witches are back,' Kidman wrote in the caption. 'Owens sisters' first day on set!'
