Ladies, I am so beyond excited to see both of you and talk to you about this
0:04
Oh, good, we hope. Honestly, I watched the original again last night with my little girl as well
0:09
How old's your daughter? She's eight. She was a bit scared in some bits, but she..
0:13
Is this her first time? It's her first time. And I watched it again and I revisited it
0:16
I was like, this is so beautiful. I mean, revisiting it, what an incredible gift
0:21
Are you still both so happy that you got to go back and visit these characters? Yeah
0:24
Yes. And rebuild the house. Yeah. And create a larger garden than we had before
0:30
And to bring in a new generation, to be with Stockard and Diane and see their beautiful eyes and hear their voices
0:35
And it just, it's a rare thing that we got to do. Unbelievably rare
0:40
Yeah. And to have them there, then us, and then the new generation of witches
0:46
So it's exciting. Now we're just excited to bring it to everybody
0:51
I was sitting in a screening. And nervous. I was sitting in a screening and grown journalists were crying
0:58
Good. That doesn't happen often, I have to say. We're very jaded as a station
1:02
Well I think the reason the first one someone brought up earlier why it resonated or became such a snowball effect is because it very emotional and it very personal and it a journey and it not big effects
1:17
It's your personal journey and so many people, we all have one
1:22
And so to honor that in the second one was daunting, but Alice wrote an incredible book that was very dense and we got to pick a small piece of it
1:29
and just we had to honor what those who became fans and wanted the film we had to honor what they
1:36
they needed from the second one we had to you must have spent a lot of the last 28 years
1:41
answering questions about is there going to be a sequel no no never never i never did yeah we did
1:48
yeah no i was asked yeah i was never asked yeah but also we were i was still from the the shame
1:54
of the first one when by the time we were done with the junket they were you could tell that
1:59
they didn't understand it and I was like oh god I thought we had made something and then the
2:03
premiere I was like oh it was yeah because the tone of that movie and the comedy and the drama
2:10
and I mean it heavy at times and then also it was just an unusual film and it was all women starring in it So 28 years ago that was unusual
2:22
Yeah. I said, have you lived the life of a woman? Because that, in a 24-hour period, you have drama, joy, love
2:29
maybe a little romance. Like, it's just life. Oh, my gosh. And now people are willing to go, oh, we want to see all women on screen
2:38
We're excited. And obviously we have some great men in this as well, but primarily this is about sisterhood
2:44
This is about family. It's about creating your own magic. And hopefully you come out of it feeling good
2:52
Yeah. It's kind of nice to come out feeling good, maybe some tears, but ultimately feeling hopeful
2:58
Absolutely. When you imagined yourself in 1998, if you've been able to go back now and talk to those women
3:06
I'd be like, maybe don't do that. Be careful. Yeah, yeah. Don't do that
3:12
Do this, but don't do that. Over here. Look. Look, over here
3:17
But you know what I a person who would never change one thing No One thing Because I get to sit in this body and this is the way I feel now And I go if this is how I feel now then I would do it all over again
3:31
Yeah, absolutely. Right there with you. No repeats. What's your favorite reaction from people over the years
3:41
Obviously, if they've not asked you to do another one. They only asked Nicole
3:45
Just Nicole. Yeah, yeah. she just wasn't listening um I think the favorite reaction is oh my gosh it's one of my favorite
