Disney+'s HocusPocus sequel has found its director
The pic, which is set for Disney+, is the follow-up to the 1993 feature that starred Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy as three witches who were resurrected in Salem, Massachusetts, and who are bent on becoming immortal.
While no deals have been made, the studio is hoping that Midler, Parker and Najimy will return to their original roles. The original was directed by Kenny Ortega and was released in the month of July, despite being a Halloween movie. The box office returns were viewed as a disappointment, with the movie earning $39 million in total grosses, but it found new life in home video and became a cult classic.
