Just in time for Halloween, the Disney Channel has revealed they’re in the early phases of developing a Hocus Pocus reboot. Cue the impassioned inner screams of every girl who came of age in the ’90s.
While Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy will obviously not repeat their roles as the incredibly witchy Sanderson sisters (though below’s to wishing a cameo), Deadline reports that David Kirschner, a manufacturer on the 1993 movie, is slated to executive produce. No word yet on who will certainly guide or star, as well as we’re racking our minds for which great young starlets may be able to fill up those black, lace-up boots.
For those who in some way really did not fanatically enjoy the flick throughout its yearly reruns on networks like Disney as well as ABC Family, it adheres to three sis (that likewise take place to be witches) on a quest to revive their younger looks and also generally damage the town of Salem, Massachusetts after being accidentally resurrected by a team of teens on Halloween. There’s also a talking pet cat, a publication with an eyeball, as well as a mom spruced up as ’80s Madonna (cone boobs as well as all) in the mix.
Weirdly, when asked two years ago concerning the possibility of a Hocus Pocus reboot, Midler seemed adamant that it would certainly never ever occur. «After all these years as well as all the follower need, I do think I can stand and strongly state an unquestionable no,» she said throughout a Facebook Q&A. In 2016, Parker said: «I would like to do a follow up. I assume we’ve all been rather singing regarding being extremely keen yet that hasn’t developed any kind of groundswell of movement.»
It would, for apparent factors, be a seriously missed chance for Disney to launch the movie throughout at any time of the year besides Halloween, which indicates we most likely have at least a year to wait for the experiences of the Sanderson sis revitalized for the brand-new millennium. As well as if they were gone crazy by lighter in weights and buses, just assume how they’ll respond to smart devices and Facebook.
