Make that nearly THIRTY years! This film will release 29 years after the original (1993). Remarkable likeness on the three of them considering that! I thought they might add some grey to their wigs to account for their 30 year age difference, but I'm pleased with their appearance here!

^Oh yes, of course! I don't know why I wrote 20 when I knew it was almost 30.

Footage has leaked of people who filmed the taping of an apparent new song the Sanderson sisters sing as an incantation based on a classic pop/rock song! And its AWESOME!!! click below to see which song will be featured as the new "I Put a Spell On You":

Blondie - One Way Or Another

The lyrics are perfect as the main theme that is repeated throughout the song is:

One way or another I'm gonna get ya get ya get ya get ya!

It turns out he's playing two characters in the film.
Q: How did you get involved with Hocus Pocus 2? What can you tell me about your role?

Tony Hale: Adam Shankman is a buddy of mine and he kindly asked me to do it and I play the mayor. Actually, I play two characters. I play this evil reverent and then I play this mayor. It's great. Another surreal experience. That movie is a Halloween classic. It was really fun. I just finished.

I think he meant "this Halloween" more in reference to the time of year. I expect this to drop early in October, rather than on Halloween. Gives more time for people to watch it in the Halloween season and mood, rather than just 24 hours before everyone moves on to Christmas.

Yup, I expect it to arrive late September - early October. It's sort of like movies being released during Christmas...that can mean anywhere from early November - late December.

This is truly ratty, especially since she actually exited the series which prevented her from taking part in this. Is there any hope of adding her on during possible re-shoots now that she’s apparently [more likely to be] free?

The rough-cut footage showed two young girls lighting the Black Flame Candle, which summons the central witches as Midler squeals, "Lock up your children! Yes, Salem, we're back!" They then launch into a musical number — a cover of Elton John's "The Bitch Is Back" — while Billy Butcherson (Doug Jones) and a still-unnamed character played by Sam Richardson also appear. Tony Hale, who plays the mayor of Salem, is also featured in the clip.

:lol: Good choice. She makes a close reference to that in the first film at the start of their song there ("Now the Witch is BACK!! And there's hell to pay.").

Don't mean to derail the conversation, but this seems to be the best thread for this.

Carnival was delayed here because of Covid, and it was celebrated last weekend instead of in February. I was in Valletta to catch the bus home, and spotted a Hocus Pocus float! Thought you guys would appreciate a few pics. :lol:

A shame the floats are absolutely tiny this year, but I guess we have Covid-19 to thank for that!

If you're wondering what a Halloween-themed float is doing during Carnival celebrations - you're thinking WAY TOO MUCH. :P :D

I'm not sure if the teaser trailer and poster have been posted or not. Here they are in case they haven't, as well as a trailer reaction by the three main actresses:

And I don't know if this had already been revealed or not, but this book synopsis mentions one of the three girls that bring the witches back is Max and Allison' daughter:
Twenty-five years later, Max and Allison’s seventeen-year-old daughter, Poppy, finds herself face-to-face with the Sanderson sisters in all their sinister glory. When Halloween celebrations don’t quite go as planned, it’s a race against time as Poppy and her friends fight to save her family and all of Salem from the witches’ latest vile scheme.

I never saw the poster, thank you, D82! Also, for that Poppy information! Oh, I really hope the original Max and Allison actors are in this, too!
