Sean Bailey, President of Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture Production, has confirmed in a recent interview that there will be another Movie of the Hocus Pocus series soon. And the Sanderson sisters will return for a third time after 30 years of the release of the original movie.
Hocus Pocus 2 was a big hit with 2.7 Billion minutes of streaming and the success of the sequel left the makers with the decision of making another movie of the series.
‘Hocus Pocus’ was released in 1993 and was directed by Kenny Ortega. The screenplay was from Mick Garris and Neil Cuthbert. The film told the story of three villainous but comedic witch sisters, played by Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy. The witch sisters are resurrected by a young boy on Halloween and then they try to cause havoc. The film did not have that much of an appreciating receival at the time of its release but grew to cult status in the next few years. The legacy of the witch sisters was taken care of and a sequel for Disney+ was ordered.
Hocus Pocus 2 was directed by Anne Fletcher and the screenplay was written by Jen D’Angelo. The three actors reprised their roles as the sisters and there were other actors introduced too.
Nothing much about the third installment of the franchise is revealed as for now. But fans are definitely excited that the movie actually turned out to be a series of films. They await the chaos of the Sanderson sisters eagerly.
