What happens when the master of suspense teams up with one of romance fiction’s biggest names? Audiences are about to find out.
Warner Bros. Pictures has released the teaser trailer for “Remain,” an intriguing new romantic thriller born from an unprecedented collaboration between visionary filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan and best-selling author Nicholas Sparks.
Starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Phoebe Dynevor, best known for Netflix’s “Bridgerton,” the film blends romance, mystery, and an unsettling supernatural atmosphere into a story where attraction may lead somewhere far more dangerous than expected.
Gyllenhaal stars as Tate Gordon, a reclusive architect who relocates to a small coastal town to complete his latest project. Keeping mostly to himself, Tate soon encounters an alluring young woman who begins pulling him out of his shell.
But their growing connection comes with a darker complication.
Before long, Tate finds himself drawn into the heart of a deadly mystery looming over the town, raising questions about the woman he has met and the secrets surrounding them both.
With Shyamalan’s signature taste for suspense and Sparks’ reputation for emotionally charged love stories, “Remain” promises an unusual combination of heartfelt romance and chilling intrigue.
Watch the teaser trailer here:
Jake Gyllenhaal and Phoebe Dynevor lead the cast
Joining Gyllenhaal and Dynevor in the film are Ashley Walters, Julie Hagerty, and Jay O. Sanders.
Shyamalan directs “Remain” from his own screenplay, based on a story created by Shyamalan and Sparks.
The film is produced by M. Night Shyamalan, Ashwin Rajan, Marc Bienstock, and Theresa Park, with Sparks serving as executive producer.
Behind the camera, Shyamalan is joined by director of photography Adolpho Veloso, production designer Sam Lisenco, editor Noëmi Preiswerk, costume designer Caroline Duncan, casting director Douglas Aibel, music supervisor Gabe Hilfer, and composer James Newton Howard.
When does “Remain” open in cinemas?
Warner Bros. Pictures presents a Blinding Edge Pictures production, an M. Night Shyamalan film.
“Remain” opens in theaters across North America on February 5, 2027, while its international rollout begins February 3, 2027.
With two celebrated storytellers bringing their distinct creative strengths together, “Remain” is shaping up to be one of 2027’s most fascinating romantic thrillers.
The Owens witches are casting their spell once again.
Stockard Channing returns as Aunt Franny in “Practical Magic 2,” reuniting with Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman, and Dianne Wiest for another chapter filled with family, sisterhood, and supernatural trouble.
And judging by Channing’s recollection, the reunion was anything but quiet.
We all screamed a lot when we saw each other, she shares.
It was that kind of thing. Shrieking,” the actress adds with a chuckle. “And it was very easy, I think. Saves a lot of time when you’ve worked together, because there’s a shorthand to everything and a trust. It really works.
Familiar Faces, New Magic
More than two decades after the original film introduced audiences to the Owens family, the beloved witches are back.
Sandra Bullock once again plays Sally Owens, while Nicole Kidman returns as her sister Gillian. Channing and Wiest reprise their roles as the unforgettable Aunt Franny and Aunt Jet.
This time, however, the family faces a new and dangerous threat. In “Practical Magic 2,” the Owens sisters must confront a dark curse that could tear their family apart for good.
Directed by Susanne Bier, whose credits include “Bird Box” and “The Night Manager,” the sequel also brings Sally’s daughters back into the story, now grown up.
Joey King, known for “Bullet Train” and “A Family Affair,” and Maisie Williams of “Game of Thrones” and “The New Mutants” join the cast alongside Lee Pace, Xolo Maridueña, and Solly McLeod.
Watch the trailer:
Dianne Wiest Calls the Reunion “Extraordinary”
For Dianne Wiest, returning to “Practical Magic” offered something she had never experienced before.
It’s extraordinary to be asked to come back and not repeat something, but expand it, something that you’ve done twenty-five years ago and with the same people. I haven’t experienced that before, she shares.
That sense of continuity also extends to Aunt Jet and Aunt Franny.
In the first movie, the two women became known for helping those in need with potions, remedies, and a little Owens magic. Years later, they are still doing what they do best.
Absolutely, absolutely. Anyone who has arthritis or gout or a broken heart, anyone who has lost their lover, they come to Jet and my sister Franny, played by Stockard Channing, shares Weist.
They come to them at night and we give them remedies to ease their pain, whatever type of pain it might be.
Some things, thankfully, never change.
“Sisterhood Is Powerful”
Beyond the magic and family drama, one of the most enduring themes of “Practical Magic” has always been the strength of women supporting one another.
For Channing, that message is deeply personal.
Well, given my advanced age, it means a lot to me, because I’m of that generation – sisterhood is powerful, says Channing.
The actress also reflects proudly on the feminist movement that shaped her generation.
I’m proud of my feminist background. I am of a generation that was about equality. It was about equal rights.
Channing remembers growing up during a period when opportunities for women were far more limited, making the progress that followed especially meaningful to her.
But I was born at a time when it was rough. It was really rough. I hope people remember and respect the gains that my generation made, and try to hold onto them.
It is a fitting message for the Owens women, whose story continues to revolve around family, resilience, love, and the power of standing together.
With the original cast returning and a new generation stepping into the story, “Practical Magic 2” brings the Owens family legacy back to the big screen with fresh danger, powerful bonds, and plenty of magic.
Summon your coven and catch “Practical Magic 2” in cinemas starting September 9.

That was Nicole Kidman’s simple answer when Sandra Bullock asked why she decided to return to the spellbinding world of “Practical Magic.”
More than two decades after audiences first met Sally and Gillian Owens, Kidman and Bullock are stepping back into their beloved roles for “Practical Magic 2,” arriving in cinemas starting September 9.
And according to the stars themselves, fans helped make the long-awaited sequel happen.
Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock Bring Back Their ‘Great Chemistry’
Bullock and Kidman once again play the Owens sisters in a story filled with moonlit mischief, family bonds, ancestral magic, and plenty of chaos.
This time, Sally and Gillian must face a dark curse that threatens to unravel their family once and for all.
If I say it myself, we have great chemistry, Kidman said.
That chemistry became one of the defining elements of the original 1998 film, which grew into a fan favorite over the years. Now, the two stars are bringing that connection back to the big screen.
A few years ago, Kidman approached Bullock about the possibility of making another “Practical Magic” movie. At the time, Bullock was not completely convinced.
What changed?
The fans.
Speaking with Warner Bros. Pictures Philippines, Kidman and Bullock revealed that the overwhelming response from audiences, particularly through social media, gave them the confidence to revisit the Owens family.
Actually because of the fans – we actually both got our confidence with regard to – shares Kidman.
Social media, Bullock added.
And the way in which people were almost demanding it, Kidman continued.
Asking for it, Bullock clarified.
Which was kind of lovely, like, it was in a beautiful way. And so, we listened, finishes Kidman.
Sandra Bullock Says the Fan Response Felt Special
For Bullock, the experience was unusual because audiences were actively asking for another movie rather than filmmakers trying to convince people to watch one.
You never get the opportunity to do something where people really are asking you, please do it. It’s usually us going to them saying, please like this movie. So that was unusual. And because of social media – which was relatively new to me five years ago – I didn’t understand it, Bullock shares.
She also admitted that she initially did not fully understand the impact social media had on the original film’s growing popularity.
I didn’t understand how something that no one really paid attention to when we made it the first time… Now the attention that was paid to it were those who were screaming the loudest. And we were like, well, you have to honor something like that.
Returning to the Owens Family With Love, Magic, and Mayhem
For Kidman and Bullock, returning to “Practical Magic” is about more than nostalgia. It is also an opportunity to revisit Sally and Gillian at a different stage in their lives.
I think there was a time where people would have said there’s no chance that you can do this as women,” says Kidman. “But now, where we’re at… It’s an amazing thing to have been given the chance to do this again.
Kidman added that they wanted to make the sequel on their own terms, while creating something meaningful and entertaining.
And do it our way and do it with love and desire, trying to really deliver something that’s impactful and super fun as well.
Bullock teased that audiences can also expect plenty of laughs as Sally and Gillian inevitably find themselves in complicated situations.
Yeah, and make you really laugh along the way, ’cause sometimes these two [their characters Sally and Gillian] can’t get out of their own way and you just have to let them. And by letting them you’re going to get some entertainment that is both like watching an accident and knowing they’ll be fine when it’s over.
Gather your coven and prepare for another enchanting chapter filled with family, laughter, romance, supernatural surprises, and irresistible Owens sister energy.
“Practical Magic 2” opens in Philippine cinemas starting September 9, 2026.

The film will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, only in theaters in North America on September 11, 2026, and internationally beginning September 9, 2026.
For director Zach Cregger, taking on Resident Evil is more than another horror project. It is the chance to step inside a world he has admired for years.
A longtime fan of the videogame franchise, Cregger is bringing his own style of suspense, chaos, and dark humor to the big screen. Following the acclaim of Barbarian and Weapons, the filmmaker now turns his attention to one of survival horror’s most recognizable names.
The games are a great standard for survival horror,” says Cregger. “I’m celebrating everything I love about them by telling a story that could exist on the edges of one of the games.
A New Story Built for Non-Stop Tension
Rather than retelling a familiar chapter from the games, the new Resident Evil introduces an original story centered on Bryan, a medical courier played by Austin Abrams.
His assignment appears simple enough: deliver a package.
Of course, nothing stays simple for long.
Bryan soon finds himself trapped in a terrifying race for survival as the night grows increasingly dangerous. Mutated creatures, infected beings, and unforgiving surroundings turn his journey into a relentless nightmare.
Cregger describes the film as a constantly moving experience that pushes its main character, and the audience, deeper into danger.
I leaned into the visceral stuff, he continues. The movie follows a person from point A to point B; it’s like a real-time journey, where we’re propelled deeper and deeper into the depths of Hell. It’s a constant, ‘Go! Go! Go!
Watch the official trailer:
Raccoon City Returns With a Fresh Perspective
The film also brings audiences back to Raccoon City, one of the most iconic settings in the Resident Evil universe.
This time, however, the goal is to make the familiar location feel unpredictable again.
Producer Roy Lee believes Cregger has found a way to honor the franchise while creating a cinematic experience that feels distinct.
Our film is a roller coaster ride of non-stop action,” says Lee, “and it’s set in the world of Raccoon City, one of the game’s most memorable locales. Zach is giving audiences something they have not experienced before in cinema.
That combination of familiarity and surprise is also central to what producer Asad Qizilbash believes makes Cregger such a strong fit for the material.
The best Resident Evil games don’t just scare you; they make you afraid of what’s coming next. That’s cinema, says Qizilbash.
He adds that Cregger has a particular talent for building tension before suddenly disrupting expectations.
Zach is brilliant at weaponizing tension, then breaking it with something shocking, strange or darkly funny. That filmmaker instinct he has, is perfect for Resident Evil: you think you know what’s going to happen, and then Zach shows you something you never expected.
An Immersive Horror Ride From Start to Finish
For longtime franchise producer Robert Kulzer, the film’s biggest strength is its commitment to keeping viewers fully immersed in Bryan’s ordeal.
Zach wanted to create a ride, an immersive experience. He wanted to take the audience by the hand in minute one, take them on this journey, and not let them go till minute 90. Zach delivered all that and more.
Producer Victor Hadida, who has also been part of the Resident Evil film franchise for decades, was equally impressed by Cregger’s approach.
Hadida says he was “blown away by Zach’s take,” adding that the film is designed to have audiences “jumping and cheering and going out of their minds.”
A Fresh Nightmare Begins September 16
With an original story, a relentless pace, and a return to the dangerous streets of Raccoon City, Resident Evil sets out to deliver a new kind of survival-horror experience for both longtime fans and newcomers.
At the center of it all is one man, one delivery, and one increasingly impossible night.
Gabriela Silang’s story is coming to the stage in a whole new way.

The story’s wider world comes to life through Kerr Allen as Sebastian, Mikaela Regis as Kunyap/Gimayad, Jasper Jimenez as Tagaben, and Delphine Buencamino as Dawak. Rounding out the principal cast are Carlon Matobato as Frayle, Jon Abella as Alcalde, and Jules Dela Paz as Principalia.

For a production with an ambitious story and a large cast, the understudies and swings are equally important. Several ensemble performers will also take on these roles throughout the run.

Pappel serves as Gabriela’s understudy, while Khalil Tambio understudies Diego. Curp Adriano covers Sebastian, Ronah de la Peña covers Dawak, and Lance Reblando understudies Kunyap.
Meanwhile, Chesko Rodriguez serves as the male swing for Frayle, Alcalde, and Principalia. Janji Gamboa is the male ensemble swing, while Joie Eborde takes on duties as the female ensemble swing.
The Team Behind the Musical
There’s another reason theater fans should have this one on their radar: GABRIELA: The Musical reunites the creative trio behind Bar Boys: The Musical.
Pat Valera takes on book and lyrics duties, with Myke Salomon serving as composer and musical director and Mikko Angeles directing. Together, they’re joined by a wide-ranging artistic team tasked with building the show’s world, movement, sound, costumes, sets, lighting, and visual identity.
The team includes JM Cabling as movement director, Katte Sabate as dramaturg, Julio Garcia as set and property designer, and Bonsai Cielo as costume designer.

Meliton Roxas and Gabo Tolentino serve as co-lighting designers, while Arvy Dimaculangan handles sound design and Aina Ramolete brings puppetry design to the production.
Behind the scenes, D Cortezano serves as technical director, with Wika Nadera as art director and photographer. Hershee Tantiado is associate costume designer, Patrick Jusay is associate set designer and FOH designer, and Carlo Gianan serves as assistant director.
A Fresh Take on Gabriela Silang
Gabriela Silang remains one of the most recognizable figures in Philippine history, but this production isn’t simply presenting a historical figure onstage.
Photo courtesy of Barefoot Theatre Collaborative | Wika Nadera
GABRIELA: The Musical offers a new theatrical interpretation of her story, placing love and revolution at the heart of the narrative. With an original score, a large ensemble, and a creative team with experience bringing contemporary Filipino stories to the stage, the production looks to give audiences another way to connect with Gabriela’s legacy.
For theatergoers who enjoy Filipino stories told through music, movement, and a little theatrical magic, this is one production worth keeping on the calendar.
