The Plot—Witches 2.0
A bunch of clueless teenagers in present‑day Salem accidentally summon the Sanderson sisters back to the 21st century. Now they must face new-age mischief and stop the poltergustic trio—who is as up for a horror movie as they are hungry for human…:kids. The story promises fresh plot twists, smashed old-school gags, and a brand‑new brand of chaos.
Production Wrap‑Up
- Director: Anne Fletcher takes the wheel after Adam Shankman, who’s now selling the production side to the studio as an executive producer.
- Producers: Lynn Harris leads the creative pack, with Ralph Winter and David Kirschner joining Adam Shankman as executive producers.
Inside the Studio—Word From Adam
Adam Shankman revealed that scheduling conflicts snagged him from helming the film himself. He called it “heart‑broken” but shared a grin, saying:
“I’m thrilled to pass the torch to Anne—she’s a master of laugh‑out‑loud moments that will keep fans hooked. I’ll still be shouting chorus
from the sidelines alongside Lynn, who’s been my partner in crime back when I worked on the choreography for “Boogie Nights.” It’s a proud moment for me to bring this witchy project to life with the real ones.
As of now no official release day has been nailed down and no new cast has been announced. Stay tuned for updates—you won’t want to miss the second chapter in Salem’s spell‑binding saga.
