“They’re working on it,” she told Variety‘s Marc Malkin. “Where Bette [Midler] goes, I go. Bette is like a 13-year-old girl with a new bike. She’s like, ‘I have wheels, let us travel.’”
Last October, Bette revealed she had read a script for Hocus Pocus 3 – See what she said!
As for a Family Stone sequel, SJP shared it’s bittersweet to do one.
“I’m so excited…but it’s a rather bittersweet quandary given the loss of Diane Keaton,” she said. “But it was a very special group of actors, and prior to Diane’s passing, there had been conversations with everybody, so I hope that we’ll be able to. The hardest thing is everybody’s schedules.”
A few weeks ago, writer and director of the first movie, Thomas Bezucha, said that the sequel is mostly about Diane‘s character, Sybil, being gone. If you recall, Sybil passed away in the first movie.
“This caught us all by surprise, like everybody,” he told Vanity Fair about Diane‘s death. “And so much of the story of the sequel is about her absence, so it was just a real punch.”
He’s also been working on the script for the last couple years after a meeting with Dermot Mulroney.
“The first words out of his mouth were, ‘We have to do a sequel.’ I remember thinking, ‘Why do I keep saying no?’” the filmmaker said. “I have to deliver on the script, but in theory, everybody is like, ‘Tell me when and where and I’ll be there.’”
