Bette Midler Confirms Original Cast Have Agreed to HOCUS POCUS 2
Bette Midler claims she, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy are all on board to return as the Sanderson Sisters in Dinsey+ and Adam Shankman’s Hocus Pocus 2.
Midler tells ET Canada: “They want to make a movie, they’ve asked us if we were interested and of course all of us said yes. I’m game, I’m totally game.”
Midler’s annual Hulaween fundraising gala will reunite her with Parker and Najimy this Friday. In Search of the Sanderson Sisters: A Hocus Pocus Hulaween Takeover. Snag your tickets and find out more info at the official website HERE.
Adam Shankman’s Hocus Pocus 2 is set to begin filming early next year in L.A. and Massachusetts with Midler, Parker, and Najimy returning as the Sanderson sisters.
Shankman (Hairspray) directs from a script by Jen D’Angelo (Workaholics).
Hocus Pocus was directed by Kenny Ortega from a script by Neil Cuthbert and Mick Garris (The Stand). David Kirschner (Child’s Play) produced with Steven Haft.
The original centered on a group of kids who accidentally frees a coven of evil witches and with the help of a magical cat must steal the witches’ book of spells to stop them from becoming immortal. It starred Midler, Najimy, and Parker with Thora Birch, Omri Katz, Vinessa Shaw, Jason Marsden, and Doug Jones.
