Hocus Pocus 2
Hocus Pocusdirector Kenny Ortega says he would much rather see Disney make the long - awaited subsequence alternatively of the remaking , or at least include the original cast . Hocus Pocusis one of the meridian example of something that did n’t quite work out out so well when it released in theaters - having earned mostly negative inspection , while also failing to take off at the worldwide box place - but eventually came into its own on home TV and achieved cultus position .
Hocus Pocusisone of the most - watched movies during the Halloween time of year . The film can be seen playing continuously on Freeform ( in the first place during their one-year 13 Nights of Halloween outcome ) as well as on the Disney Channel , while also raking in brawny substance on home video ( over $ 1 million each October , in fact ) . So , in reply to overwhelming fan enthusiasm for the cult film , Disney has decided to remakeHocus Pocusfor the Disney Channel , something that Ortega does n’t think is the skillful estimation .

Ortega attend The L.A. Dance Project ’s yearly gala this past weekend , whereETasked him what his thoughts were on Disney’sHocus Pocusremake . Surprisingly , he ’s all for the idea of anotherHocus Pocusfilm , but he would much rather see the Mouse House make a continuation with the original Sanderson sisters - play by Bette Midler , Kathy Najimy , and Sarah Jessica Parker - rather than a remake without the famed actress .
“ More power to ‘em ! I would wish to see a sequel , and I imagine that the buff would like to see a sequel . I conceive it would be much more fun to bring the ladies back . They ’re all still full of life and in their prime and capable of doing so much that it would be bang-up to see Bette and Kathy and Sarah come back together to do another picture show , and I think they would wish to . ”
It ’s true that each of the actresses has previously expressed interest in coming back for anotherHocus Pocusfilm , though the theme of a remaking was never on the table . In fact , reports of a subsequence , one helm by Tina Fey , have remain to make the rounds on the internet for the past several years , though it appears there has been little to no advance on that front . Considering that the remaking will broadcast on the Disney Channel , it ’s highly improbable that the original stamp would come back , but that ’s something that we ’ll just have to hold back and see what happen .
For now , we know the original film ’s manufacturer , David Kirschner , is returning to shepherd theHocus Pocusremake , which is being compose byThe Royalsscribe Scarlett Lacey .
