Stockard Channing, Dianne Wiest to Return for "Practical Magic 2"
Yara Sameh Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest will reprise their roles as eccentric aunts with a deep knowledge of coven living in 'Practical Magic 2.' They join Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, the stars of the 1998 romantic fantasy that is getting a sequel from Warner Bros. Channing is an Oscar nominee for her work in 'Six Degrees of Separation.' Her other films include 'Grease' and 'Up Close and Personal.' She also appeared on 'The West Wing' and won a Tony for 'A Day in the Death of Joe Egg.' Wiest is a two-time Oscar winner who was recognized for her supporting turns in Woody Allen's 'Hannah and Her Sisters' and 'Bullets Over Broadway.' Her film credits include 'Parenthood' (another Oscar nomination), as well as 'The Birdcage,' 'Edward Scissorhands,' 'The Lost Boys,' and 'Little Man Tate.' More recently, Wiest appeared in 'The Mule' and 'I Care a Lot.' In addition to Wiest and Channing, Lee Pace ('Bodies Bodies Bodies'), Maisie Williams ('Game of Thrones'), Xolo Maridueña ('Blue Beetle') and Solly McLeod ('The Dead Don't Hurt') have joined the ensemble. Joey King ('The Act') was previously reported as being part of the cast. Susanne Bier ('Bird Box') is directing from a screenplay co-written by Akiva Goldsman, who also co-wrote the original, and Georgia Pritchett ('Succession'). Griffin Dunne directed the first film, but isn't helming this follow-up. The first 'Practical Magic' was not a commercial success, earning $68.3 million worldwide against its $75 million budget. However, it developed a cult following on home entertainment. In an age of diminishing IP, that's enough to justify a sequel. Production is currently underway on 'Practical Magic 2,' which will be released in theaters on September 18, 2026. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream

Review: The Script proves no stage is needed for them at Cardiff Castle

More info There's always a risk in staging an outdoor concert in Wales or anywhere in the UK, where a downpour can often be more of a guarantee than a threat. But for The Script who played Cardiff Castle on Thursday, June 26, the light rain did little to dampen spirits. Judging by the crowd, no one seemed particularly interested in being anywhere else so the weather gods may actually have been working in their favour. The Irish band has always walked an unusual line of being a touch too earnest for some people and slightly too mainstream for others. But you know deep down that there's at least one of their songs that stick in your head (and you probably know it word for word as well). Tonight, they leaned into that unapologetically and it was definitely a 10/10 experience. We were treated to a set packed with hits lie Breakeven, For the First Time and The Man Who Can't Be Moved, reaffirming why these songs have lasted so well and seem so timeless.

Frontman Danny O'Donoghue was in full charismatic form, shouting early on: 'Cardiff, I know we all love to sing up here,' and the audience proved him right immediately. A standout moment was when thousands of people sang along to The Man Who Can't Be Moved in the pouring rain. (Image: Bethany Gavaghan) Danny also invited a young girl named Maia onto the stage and guided her to press a key on the piano, letting her sit next to him at the piano and telling her he was dedicating a song to her. But the most surprising part of the evening came during Nothing as Danny left the stage entirely and walked deep into the crowd, singing as he moved. I felt slightly on edge for him (as did his security I'm sure), but it worked so well and the crowd was incredible, with no one I could see screaming or pushing forward at all - possibly because everyone was also just super stunned. I've always been slightly envious of people who got to experience the music scene in the 80s and 90s when artists seemed a bit more relaxed about security when crowd surfing or walking through the audience felt almost routine, so I definitely appreciated getting an insight into that world even if it was just for the night. The show hit its peak energy with Paint the Town Green. The mood switched quickly from nostalgic to celebratory. Addressing the crowd before singing Hall of fame, Danny said: 'The story's about making moments you take to your grave. So when you're standing in front of God, you can say: this is what I did.' Closing with the famous track, Danny framed it as a dedication to 'anyone going through something right now', and the Cardiff crowd knew every word. S With a heartfelt thank you to his Welsh fans and taking a bow with the rest of the band, the Irish singer even draped a Welsh flag around his shoulders which got some almighty cheers and whoops from the crowd, who it's safe to say loved every second of the gig.
