File this under “please be true!” According to ET Canada, Bette Midler has told Fox 5 Good Day New York that she as well as Kathy Najimy and Sarah Jessica Parker are all interested and have said “Yes” to returning for a Hocus Pocus sequel.
While speaking with Fox 5 about her virtual New York Restoration Project event “In Search of the Sanderson Sisters” Ms. Midler said:
“They want to make a movie. They asked us if we were interested and of course all of us said “yeah.” But we are, I mean I’m game, I’m totally game.”
So you heard it here. The gals want to come back for another film. We already know that that Disney is working on another ‘Hocus Pocus’ film. But them wanting to come back and actually getting to come back are two different things. Let’s hope they get to come back.
It would be a really poor idea to do it without the Sanderson sisters. Fans really want this.
But until then you can catch the reunion of the Sanderson Sisters and other celebrity guests and cast members if you watch the virtual “In Search of the Sanderson Sisters: A Hocus Pocus Hulaween Takeover” event for the New York Restoration Project on October 30th.
You do need to purchase a ticket to watch and you can do that HERE. The tickets are $10 + $3 fee. It will only be aired once at 8PM EST.
Here’s the write up:
“Bette Midler has conjured an all-star cast that’s sure to get into mischief as they raise funds for New York Restoration Project (NYRP) at her virtual “Hulaween” benefit: In Search of The Sanderson Sisters, A Hocus Pocus Hulaween Takeover. On October 30 at 8:00 p.m. EDT, Ms. Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy will reprise their Hocus Pocus roles in a one-hour, must-see Halloween event filled with laughs, tunes, and mad witchcraft.
Elvira, Mistress of the Dark will host the documentary-style show, which delves into the sisters’ history, answering questions about their ancestry (which dates back to Merlin), their education, their music careers, their fateful love affairs, and so much more. For one night only, the witches, along with Hocus Pocus castmates Thora Birch, Omri Katz, and Doug Jones, are back. And you can be sure, no gravestone will be left unturned.
Along for the ride are Glenn Close, Billy Crystal, Jamie Lee Curtis, John Debney, Samantha Diaz, Todrick Hall, Jennifer Hudson, Anjelah Johnson-Reyes, Michael Kors, Adam Lambert, George Lopez, Alex Moffat, Vinessa Shaw, Martin Short, Sarah Silverman, John Stamos, Meryl Streep, Kenan Thompson, Sophie von Haselberg, and other surprise guests.”
