HOCUS POCUS is Getting a Disney Channel Movie Remake

Movie Hocus Pocus Disney Disney Channel Remake about 7 years agoby Joey Paur

For years, fans of the 1993 film Hocus Pocus have been waiting for a sequel. There was even talk over the years that it could happen. Well, unfortunately, you will not be getting a sequel to the film that would reunite Bette Middler, Kathy Najimy, and Sarah Jessica Parker. No. Instead, you will be getting a Disney Channel movie remake.

I don't know if you watch those Disney Channel movies, but they don't really offer top quality entertainment. It's more of just cheap entertainment for little kids that don't care or know any better.

The movie, which chronicles what happens when three villainous witches are inadvertently resurrected in Salem, Massachusetts, is set to be written by Scarlett Lacey (The Royals), and it will be executive-produced by David Kirschner, who was a producer on the original movie.

According to Deadline, The new Hocus Pocus iteration will have a new cast and a new director. I'm sure they'll just cast a bunch of their big familiar Disney Channel stars to star in the movie. What do you all think about Hocus Pocus getting a Disney Channel remake?
