'Hocus Pocus 2' is a sequel to 'Hocus Pocus', a 1993 fantasy comedy film directed by Kenny Ortega from a screenplay by Mick Garris and Neil Cuthbert, and a story by David Kirschner and Garris.
Disney announced 'Hocus Pocus 3' was in development two years ago. 'No more developments, other than we would like to do it,' said Parker, as per the outlet.
'We would like to do it, and we've been having some conversations,' added the actress, who played Sarah Sanderson opposite onscreen sisters Winifred 'Winnie' Sanderson (Bette Midler) and Mary Sanderson (Kathy Najimy) in 'Hocus Pocus' and 'Hocus Pocus 2', reported People.
In an interview in 2023, the president of Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Production, Sean Bailey, shared that the third Hocus Pocus film was in development.
Jen D'Angelo, the 'Hocus Pocus 2' screenwriter, said in October 2023,' that we are able to explore every aspect of these stories and take these characters on a bunch of fun adventures,' reported People.
D'Angelo added, '3 is still very much in the early stages; we don't really know what it is.'
'I want to do right by the fans, and I definitely want to keep in mind what they want to see,' she continued, 'but at the same time, I feel like movies can go slightly awry when they're only catering to the fans and trying to check off a list, like, 'We got this and this, so the fans should be happy', ' according to People.
Midler shared in July 2024 that she is aware of a script that 'should be forthcoming,' however, she also added that, 'I haven't been paying much attention,' reported People. (ANI)

Disney sues Hong Kong company it says is selling illegal Mickey Mouse jewelry
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Walt Disney Co. on Wednesday sued a Hong Kong jewelry company it accuses of selling illegal Mickey Mouse jewelry. The international media and entertainment conglomerate filed a lawsuit in federal court in Los Angeles against the Red Earth Group, which sells jewelry online under the name Satéur. Disney says the rings, necklaces and earrings in Satéur's 'Mickey 1928 Collection' violate its trademark rights and that the Hong Kong company is deliberately trying to fool customers into thinking the pieces are official Disney merchandise. Satéur, the suit alleges, 'intends to present Mickey Mouse as its own brand identifier for its jewelry merchandise and 'seeks to trade on the recognizability of the Mickey Mouse trademarks and consumers' affinity for Disney and its iconic ambassador Mickey Mouse.' A message seeking comment from representatives of the Red Earth Group was not immediately answered. The lawsuit is indicative of Disney's dogged efforts to protect its intellectual property from unauthorized appropriation. Although the earliest version of Mickey Mouse entered the public domain last year after Disney's copyright expired, the company still holds trademark rights to the character. Lawyers for Disney argue in the suit that Red Earth's online marketing efforts 'extensively trade on the Mickey Mouse trademarks and the Disney brand' with language that includes describing the jewelry as great for 'Disney enthusiasts.' Such tactics indicate Red Earth was 'intentionally trying to confuse consumers,' the lawsuit says. The impression created, it says, 'suggests, at a minimum, a partnership or collaboration with Disney.' The earliest depiction of Mickey Mouse, who first appeared publicly in the film short 'Steamboat Willie' in 1928, are now in the U.S. public domain. The widely publicized moment was considered a landmark in iconography going public. The lawsuit alleges that Red Earth and Satéur are trying to use that status as a 'ruse' to suggest the jewelry is legal, by dubbing it the 'Mickey 1928 Collection' and saying it is being sold in tribute to the mouse's first appearance. Weekly A weekly look at what's happening in Winnipeg's arts and entertainment scene. The centerpiece of the collection, the suit says, is a piece of jewelry marketed as the 'Satéur Mickey 1928 Classique Ring,' which has a Steamboat Willie charm sitting on the band holding a synthetic stone. But there is an essential difference between copyright — which protects works of art — and trademark — which protects a company's brand. Even if a character is in the public domain, it cannot be used on merchandise in a way that suggests it is from the company with the trademark, as Disney alleges Red Earth is doing. 'Disney remains committed to guarding against unlawful trademark infringement and protecting consumers from confusion caused by unauthorized uses of Mickey Mouse and our other iconic characters,' Disney said in a statement Wednesday. The lawsuit seeks an injunction against Red Earth selling the jewelry or trading on Disney's trademark in any other way, along with monetary damages to be determined later.

Ishaan Khatter's 'Homebound' selected for Toronto International Film Festival
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 16 (ANI): 'Homebound', which stars Ishaan Khatter, Janhvi Kapoor and Vishal Jethwa, will be screened at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival 2025. Sharing the update, producer Karan Johar on Wednesday took to Instagram and wrote, '#Homebound has been officially selected for the Toronto International Film Festival 2025 (@tiff_net) in the Gala Presentations category. Extremely thrilled and elated to be a part of this prestigious festival - another time for us at Dharma.' The film recently received a 9-minute-long standing ovation at Cannes Film Festival 2025. As per Variety, 'Homebound' revolves around two childhood friends from a small North Indian village who chase a police job that promises them the dignity they've long been denied. But as they inch closer to their dream, mounting desperation threatens the bond that holds them together. Director Neeraj Ghaywan described 'Homebound' as 'a deeply personal story about friendship, dignity, and survival.' 'It's about people who are often unseen, and the quiet strength they carry in a world that rarely pauses for them,' said the director, adding that he hopes the film 'helps us look closer--with empathy--and see what we've been conditioned to ignore.' Legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese serves as an executive producer on the film. In an official note shared by the film's team, Martin Scorsese praised 'Homebound'. 'I have seen Neeraj's first film Masaan in 2015 and I loved it, so when Melita Toscan du Plantier sent me the project of his second film, I was curious. I loved the story, the culture, and was willing to help. Neeraj has made a beautifully crafted film that's a significant contribution to Indian Cinema. I am glad the movie is an official selection at Un Certain Regard in Cannes this year,' Scorsese said. (ANI)
