There’s also been a few behind-the-scenes changes on Hocus Pocus 2. Previously Hairspray’s Adam Shankman was set to direct the sequel, but because he’s now busy working on Disenchanted, he’s set the helming reins down. That said, he’s still attached as an executive producer alongside Ralph Winter and David Kirschner, while Steven Haft will serve as co-producer. The Proposal’s Anne Fletcher will now take over directorial duties from Shankman. The two of them met in 1990 when they were dancers for that year’s Academy Awards broadcast, and Shankman went on to hire Fletcher as his assistant choreographer for numerous projects. Fletcher made her directorial debut with 2006’s Step Up, which Shankman produced.
