The sequel will pick up years after the original, focusing on a housewife who is related to the Sanderson sisters, who teams up with a witch hunter to save her children after they run afoul of some resurrected witches while out trick-or-treating

She's producing a movie about witchcraft for Disney, but it's not a sequel to 'Hocus Pocus'.


Tina Fey Is Developing a Witch Movie, But Not a ‘Hocus Pocus’ Sequel

I'm thinking if they get the girls from the original, it'll be a sequel. If they don't, it'll be this original witch movie.

Deadline has squashed the story, too-

"EXCLUSIVE: Hocus shmocus: Disney is in early development with Tina Fey on a supernatural-themed feature, but a knowledgeable source tells me it’s not the Hocus Pocus sequel that’s being wrongly buzzed about all over town. The film, currently known as Untitled Witch Project, will be produced by Fey and Cinderella producer Allison Shearmur in what’s described as falling in the vein of Ghostbusters, with 30 Rock Golden Globe winner Fey also attached to star. Sorry to break it to fans of the 1993 Bette Midler horror-comedy: No Hocus Pocus 2 project is currently in the works at the Mouse House – yet. Stay tuned to see if the nostalgic wave of online buzz conjures a return for the Sanderson Sisters.
Fey is in production on her Universal comedy The Nest, opposite her former Saturday Night Live co-star Amy Poehler. Shearmur is producing Disney’s 2015 live-action Cinderella pic directed by Kenneth Branagh."

I am ashamed to admit this. But I've never seen Hocus Pocus.

I haven't, either.

^^ I am shocked and appalled. You both should remedy that situation ASAP. The power of Bette compels you.

I have a feeling this project may never smell the scent of stale movie theatre popcorn.
