Hocus Pocus 2
AHocus Pocussequel may be in the oeuvre as a TV movie , allot to screenwriter Mick Garris . The original film was first release in 1993 , becoming a restrained succeeder as a fun Halloween flick - but has since become a fad classic . The story of three witch brought back from the dead by a stripling and his friends has only increase in popularity , with yearly screenings in October in several house , case at Disney holiday resort , and even a full - length book about the film ( released last year ) .
Unsurprisingly , the monumental popularity of the photographic film has led to plentifulness of speculation about a potential sequel . Between 2014 and 2016,Tina Fey was rumoredto be working on a projection bear on toHocus Pocus , and last year she said that it was not a remaking of the film , but a continuation . Doug Jones , Bette Midler , and Sarah Jessica Parker have all been ask about the film as well - with generally enthusiastic , but non - committal , responses . Now , Garris has revealed that a subsequence may go straight to the minor screen .
The film writer of the original movie speak about the possibility of a sequel in an consultation withForbes . While Garris admitted that he is not involved with the project , he has take heed that a continuation is on the way :
There have been rumor of a Hocus Pocus subsequence for the last 10 years that will not die . I have hear they are developing the handwriting , I have n’t been involve in it but I think there will be a sequel it might be for Disney Channel or Freeform or ABC . I think it will be for television but I hear that it is moving ahead .
Garris added that the player who played the Sanderson Sisters in the originalHocus Pocusmay yet reelect for the followup :
I think they are [ play back the original cast ] . If they do n’t do that I intend it would be a big error because all three of them are still so fabulously strong and powerful and great performer and who else can repair those theatrical role ?
The original Sanderson Sisters were , of course , Bette Midler , Sarah Jessica Parker , and Kathy Najimy - and while it would be easy to bring the dealership back to spirit without the original adolescent eccentric , the Sanderson Sisters are the heart and person of the film . Of course , it may be difficult to make a direct sequel , understand as the three were turned to dust at the final stage of the original , but there are wad of creative ways around that !
While aHocus Pocussequel has been long - desired by fans of the movie , a television receiver movie revival would be an interesting choice for Disney to make . There is petty doubt that a Halloween release of a sequel on the big screen would do well at the box office , but the decision to go smaller could intend that the follow - up would have the ability to be much longer than a feature film .
Of course , this is far from an official announcement , and Garris himself confirms that he is not involved in the project . This may only be another rumor to add to theHocus Pocuspile , but if it were confirmed , this would be the perfect Halloween dainty for fans .
