The Disney Channel Halloween classic, “Hocus Pocus” starring Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica
Parker and Kathy Najimy is being remade! The 1993 cult
classic will not feature the original cast or director (too bad!), and will be
made as a TV movie.
But don’t worry, the remake is in
good hands. Scarlett Lacey, who writes for “The Royals” and David
Kirschner, a producer on the original “Hocus Pocus” are reportedly set to executive produce it.
The classic Disney flick is based on the story of the
villainous witches, the Sanderson sisters (Midler, Parker and Najimy).
The trio of witches are resurrected in Salem, Massachusetts, and
they try and stay alive by finding a young girl to suck the life out of.
Spooky!
Share this if you’re a big
“Hocus Pocus” fan and are already starting a countdown for the
remake!
