Bette Midler says Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy both said yes to Hocus Pocus sequel

Bette Midler says she and fellow Hocus Pocus stars Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy are ready to cast their spell once again.

The icon, 74, said ‘all’ of the original cast of the 1993 film would be on board for a sequel while talking to New York’s Fox 5 last week.

‘They want to make a movie, they’ve asked us if we were interested and of course all of us said yes. I’m game, I’m totally game,’ Bette said.

All three Sanderson sisters were happy to get back into character for a good cause earlier this month.

Sarah Jessica posted three images from a Hocus Pocus reunion for the charity fundraiser for the New York Restoration Project on the 16th.

‘The candle was lit,’ the actress, 55, said in the caption of the post on Instagram. ‘For the best possible reason. In support of [New York Restoration Project].’

Parker, who played Sarah Sanderson in the Disney movie, added: ‘We laughed, made mischief and even sang a little song that might be familiar.’

She tagged the post #NYRPHulaween and said: ‘$10 dollar tickets and all details available with a link to the project’s website, adding a pair of other shots from the promotional shoot.   

Bette expressed her interest in a sequel in September, telling  Entertainment Tonight that she’s ‘absolutely’ game for a reboot. 

‘I can’t wait to fly!’ Midler added, all the while with her trademark grin.

At the time the outlet reported that Bette and the girls were ‘just talking logistics’ about how exactly everyone would be involved.

The new film is currently listed as in pre-production according to its IMDb page, with Hairspray’s Adam Shankman attached as director.

Interestingly Hocus Pocus failed to impress film critics or audiences when it came out in July, 1993.

The Disney movie scored a dismal 37 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, and raked in just $39.5million off of a $28million budget.

However, the Halloween-themed magical movie was something of a sleeper hit sensation, steadily gaining in popularity over the years as a rental and streaming favorite, especially among the millennial set.
