From Yahoo:
“The
Sanderson Sisters are back in the first 'Hocus Pocus 2' trailer”
Halloween is coming
early this year. September 30 sees the Disney+ premiere of Hocus Pocus 2, the
long-awaited sequel to the 1993 box office disappointment-turned-annual
tradition. And the Sanderson Sisters appear to be in fine form in the
just-released first trailer for the film, which reunites Bette Midler, Kathy
Najimy and Sarah Jessica Parker as their witchy alter egos.
Set nearly
three decades after the events of the original film, Hocus Pocus 2 follows a
new generation of high school students who accidentally summon Salem's premiere
17th-century troublemakers. Best friends Becca, Cassie and Izzy (played by
Whitney Peak, Lilia Buckinghman and Belissa Escobedo respectively) are the trio
who inadvertently summon the Sanderson siblings, and then have to prevent them
from once again wreaking havoc on the town. "Lock up your children!"
announces Midler's lead sister, Winifred. "Yes, Salem ... we're
back!"
Speaking with
Yahoo Entertainment two years ago, The Rose star called the first Hocus Pocus
"one of the most fun experiences I ever had," which made the idea of
signing on for a sequel a no-brainer. And Midler also teased that Hocus Pocus 2
would feature a new variation on the showstopping sequence from the original
movie, where Winifred brings the house down with her rendition of the Screamin'
Jay Hawkins standard, "I Put a Spell on You." "[He] made the
song immortal; I just cribbed it," Midler said at the time, adding that
she wasn't sure what song Winifred would slay this time around. The Hocus Pocus
2 trailer confirms that she'll be warming up her pipes again, though. At the
end of the teaser, a Salem resident warmly greets the sisters and says, "I
bet you're looking for the stage." With a sly grin, Winifred replies,
"Always."
^ I liked the
first movie when I was a kid so will watch the sequel – hopefully I will like it
too as an adult. ^
