With a treatment being drafted by <em>Workaholics <\/em>writer and co-producer Jen D\u2019Angelo, it is reported that Disney hopes for the return of the original cast, including Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy as the Sanderson Sisters. None are attached to the project at the moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Cavanaugh points out, although <em>Hocus\nPocus <\/em>was a box office dud upon opening in the summer of 1993, annual\nairings on cable networks Disney Channel and Freeform (formerly ABC Family) have\nhelped cement the picture\u2019s status as a Halloween favorite. Indeed, Freeform\nwill air the movie on ten separate occasions in the next six days alone! (October\n25-October 31)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The move comes amid a flurry of unexpected\nand belated revivals of box office failures from Hollywood\u2019s past. From the\nannounced <em>Big Trouble in Little China <\/em>sequel to the remake of <em>Clue<\/em>\nstarring Ryan Reynolds, it seems as if Hollywood will do almost anything to\navoid creating new and original content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Disney+ launches November 12, 2019.
