HOCUS FOCUS SEQUEL MOVIE

Directed by the legendary Robert Zemeckis ( Back To The Future trilogy), Pinnochio will be a live-action remake of Disney’s 1940 animated movie of the same name. Pinnochio: The story of Pinnochio might not have Bette Midler on a broomstick, but it definitely does not lack the influence of magic or terrifying scenarios. If you, like many others, immediately watched the original after the sequel’s trailer came out, there are other options for you to watch, coming soon to Disney+: There are sure to be many references to the original in the upcoming sequel, so make sure those inside jokes don’t go over your head! The original Hocus Pocus is available to stream on Disney+ right now if you need a refresher of the story. September 30 seems very far away at this moment but fear not, there are plenty of things to watch as you await the return of the Sanderson Sisters. It’s not certain if the black cat from the trailer will speak and if it does, who will voice it. It’s still unclear whether or not Omri Katz, who played Dani’s older brother, Max, and Vanessa Shaw, who played Max’s crush, Allison, will be returning for Hocus Pocus 2.Īdditionally, Sean Murray, who played the human version of Thackery Binx, and Jason Marsden, who voiced the cat version, will not be returning for the sequel. Thora Birch, who played Dani Dennison in the original Hocus Pocus has already stated she, unfortunately, would not be involved in the sequel due to scheduling conflicts with the upcoming Netflix release, Wednesday. A new and intriguing addition to the cast of Hocus Pocus 2 is a character listed simply as “The Witch.” Hannah Waddingham, who is best known for her roles in Sex Education and Ted Lasso, will be taking on the role of this mysterious new character. Veep alumni Sam Richardson and Tony Hale will be joining the cast as well, with Richardson playing Gilbert, the owner of “The Olde Salem Magic Shoppe,” and Hale as Jefry Traske, the Mayor of Salem. Also returning is musical composer John Debner, who scored the original movie and will be reprising his role as composer for the sequel. He stayed on as a producer, along with Lynn Harris ( The 5th Wave), Steven Haft ( Hocus Pocus), and David Kirschner, who wrote the story for the original Hocus Pocus.

Adam Shankman ( Enchanted) was originally set to direct but had to drop out due to his work on the Enchanted sequel, Disenchanted. Anne Fletcher ( The Proposal) will be directing the sequel, Hocus Pocus 2, with the screenplay written by Jen D’Angelo ( Workaholics). Over the years, however, Hocus Pocus has become a beloved cult classic with sales and streaming numbers skyrocketing every October. Originally, the first movie was considered a box office flop, costing Disney roughly $16.5 million. The Sanderson sisters are back! Nearly 30 years after the original Hocus Pocus came out, Disney+ returns to Salem with a sequel.
