This film is considered a cult classic. The cast said they felt supernatural elements of the house started to affect them. Both the cast and crew claimed they heard supernatural noises while filming the coven scene at the end of the film. In the book, which the film is based on, Antonia is the oldest of Sally and Michael's children.
Whereas in the film Kylie is the oldest. The small town scenes were filmed in downtown Coupeville, Washington, a Victorian-era seaside port town located on the south side of Penn's Cove on Whidbey Island. You can hear Nicole Kidman's Australian accent break through a few times throughout the movie.
One most noticeable scene is when she visits sally sometime after Michael's death- and they are talking about their relationships, Gillian talks about Joe Jimmy views their relationship in terms of centuries- and how they stay up all night, and so on.
Her Australian accent is very clear here. Nicole Kidman also played a witch in Bewitched Lora Anne Criswell's debut. Based on the novel of the same name by Alice Hoffman. Spoilers The trivia items below may give away important plot points. In the scene where they lay Jimmy's dead body on the table to resurrect him, you can hear Nicole Kidman 's Australian accent come through when she says, "Sally, watch his balls! The black dog that followed Sally's Sandra Bullock 's husband Michael Mark Feuerstein on the day of his death was no accident.
According to several cultural traditions mainly those of the British isles and Latin America , a sign of impending death can take the form of a black dog. For the final scene with all of the townspeople at the Owens home, the entire population of the town where filming took place was invited to show up in costume and appear as townsfolk. Matt Iverson, now an insurance agent in Oak Harbor, pitched in as an extra and did some driving.
In a interview he described how a few locals, hired as stand-ins for the stars, revolted at the low pay and quit their gigs, and recalled the final scene of the movie, where the extras were invited to don their own costumes to celebrate Halloween and witness some practical magic at the Owens House.
Of course what most remembered best were the stars. Before shooting, Warner Bros. Nicole Kidman is only scheduled for one day in Coupeville so she will just zoom in and out.
But Sandra and Aidan Quinn will be here! Perhaps Kidman's one scene took longer to shoot than expected, but for whatever reason, the "it" couple of the day did appear in town, Cruise driving his black Blazer and wearing his trademark Ray-Bans. Word was that the pair, fresh from filming Eyes Wide Shut , had rented a house on San Juan Island overlooking the sea for the duration of filming.
Bullock and Quinn definitely were on scene. Rebecca Wheeler, who described herself as a huge Sandra Bullock fan, remembered it well:. The town looked pretty all white. I always loved the fact that my friends and I figured out that the scene when Bullock runs into town from her house was the wrong direction from the house" Wheeler. Both Quinn and Cruise appear to have whiled away much of their free time playing pool. Matt Iverson went kayaking with Quinn off Coupeville one day -- a jaunt that ended with the actor flipping his kayak.
For many moviegoers, the most memorable part of the film was the Owens House, by all accounts a character in itself. The elaborate, richly decorated Shingle-style pile erected for the filming earned a write-up in Victoria magazine in October The house, with its remarkable kitchen, conservatory, interior staircases, widow's walk, gardens, and nooks, continues to be an inspiration for decorating websites and blogs.
To this day some refuse to believe that it was all film illusion. The reality is that the house, constructed on a bare piece of land in San Juan County Park, about six miles due west across San Juan Island from Friday Harbor, was largely a hollow shell. Interiors were fashioned on a Hollywood soundstage; only the kitchen and conservatory were transported piecemeal to the house for some scenes.
Gardens were constructed using a mixture of real and artificial greenery. To obtain permission to build on county park land, the filmmakers had to agree to raise the house on a platform. Because of the spot's Native American heritage, the county parks and recreation commission would not allow any digging into the soil.
The studio also had to promise to dismantle the structure as soon as shooting was complete, and this, indeed, happened the day after filming wrapped. Production designer Robin Standefer told Victoria magazine that she made a salad from garden greens just before the entire set was leveled.
The film features one more location in Washington: The blue lights of the Shell Oil Refinery on March Point near Anacortes provide an appropriately eerie background for a scene in which the sisters are forced to kill a nasty individual -- for the first time. Big-budget filmmaking was a mixed blessing for the small Whidbey Island and San Juan Island communities. The experience brought an influx of cash from both the studio personnel and the hiring of locals for everything from painting to traffic control to work as extras.
Set designers purchased many local products, reportedly scouring antique stores all around Puget Sound. Then there were the intangibles of publicity and prestige that come along with being a part of a major motion picture. But not everyone was happy with the disruptions to daily life and commerce. At the time of filming, this building was years old.
Released in , the film features iconic Coupeville storefronts that capture the historic seaport feel and continue to welcome locals and visitors today. The movie's producers were obviously captured by the look and feel of the town.
This building, originally the Glenwood Hotel, is across the street from Knead and Feed, but was only a minor part of the movie. It was only a shell, built in the San Juans, and torn down after producers were done shooting the movie. Coupeville was the perfect setting for the movie "Practical Magic. Toby's became "The Catch and Fry". Originally the Glenwood Hotel, built in
