Nicole Kidman Burst Blood during the filming of one of the most emotional scenes in Practical Magic, according to producer Denise Di Novi. The actress pushed herself so hard while shooting the supernatural drama that she burst a few blood vessels in her face. Di Novi shared the story ahead of the film’s first-ever 4K UHD release and the upcoming sequel.
Released in 1998, Practical Magic starred Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock as sisters from a family believed to be cursed. Denise Di Novi recalled that Bullock joined the project early and also worked as a producer. She said the team wanted Kidman because they believed she would bring something different to the role after films like Eyes Wide Shut.
The Nicole Kidman Burst Blood incident happened while filming the intense scene in which the Owens family and a group of women try to banish the spirit of Jimmy Angelov, played by Goran Visnjic. Di Novi told People that Kidman completely immersed herself in the role. She said the actress became so emotionally involved that she burst a few blood vessels in her face during the scene.
Di Novi also praised the chemistry between Kidman and Bullock, calling both actresses modern film icons. She said their connection was clear from the beginning and has become even stronger while working on the sequel.
The Nicole Kidman Burst Blood story highlights the actress’s dedication to her performances. Fans will be able to revisit the original film when Practical Magic arrives on 4K UHD on August 25. Meanwhile, Practical Magic 2 is set to release in theatres on September 11.
