Evan Rachel Nope<\/h2>\n\n

According to Evan Rachel Wood, nobody from the first film reached out while the sequel was coming together, and they ended up replacing her with Joey King, who\u2019s ten years younger. As it turns out, Joey King was the only one who called her: \u201cI truly appreciate her reaching out to me because no one who worked on the first movie did. She\u2019s a sweetheart.\u201d<\/strong><\/em> Nicole Kidman may want to get that stab wound checked.<\/p>\n\n

Director Susanne Bier has already said the switch wasn\u2019t driven by bad blood. Quite the opposite: \u201cIt wasn\u2019t personal. The kids in the story have just graduated from college, so it wasn\u2019t even really a question. We had to recast.\u201d<\/em>It\u2019s not like Evan Rachel Wood is hurting for work<\/strong>, but she\u2019s been open about how much she would\u2019ve loved going back to the set where she\u2019d been so happy as a kid.<\/p>\n\n

Think this sounds like some petty Hollywood feud? Not really. Evan Rachel Wood wanted in more than anything<\/strong>, and even said she was willing to do whatever they needed, \u201ceven if it was one scene or one line.\u201d<\/em> Hard not to think that, after all this, nobody\u2019s going to be calling her for Practical Magic 3<\/em>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
