The cable network’s annual 31 Nights of Halloween lineup features 14 showings of Hocus Pocus, the beloved 1993 film starring Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy — and while that may seem like a lot, keep in mind that Freeform aired the Walt Disney flick a whopping 30 (!) times in 2019. (Of course, you can watch Hocus Pocus as many times as you’d like with a subscription to Disney+, but who are we to suggest a commercial-free viewing experience?)

At least it looks super fly. It's too bad that Director X (born Julien Christian Lutz), the Canadian short-form film master for the likes of Rihanna, Drake and Nicki Minaj, stumbles when he has to stretch a scene past video length. He sets his blaxploitation remake in present-day Atlanta to separate it from the 1972 Harlem-based original, directed in a more straightforward-but-effective style by Gordon Parks Jr. (whose father, incidentally, took the reins of the equally influential Shaft the year before). It's still basically the same plot, but instead of Ron O'Neal...

If you go back and watch a vintage blaxploitation film like “Super Fly” (1972), it has a time-capsule quality that only enhances the low-rent documentary scuzziness of its atmosphere. The brightly littered Manhattan streets, the cozy squalor of the bars and drug dens, even the cruddiness of the apartments: All fuse into a bombed-out yet strangely liberated mood that lets you know why the hero would choose the life of a cocaine kingpin, because it’s the only way he has to leave behind the racist prison of “a jive job with chump change, day after day.” The atmosphere told the story, and so did Curtis Mayfield’s music (“I’m a pusher man”), and so did Ron O’Neal’s suavely furious performance. In his flattened long hair and wide collars and designer sideburns, he may have looked like a coke-spoon version of D’Artagnan, but his need to claw...

It doesn’t matter how smart you are if you’re constantly surrounded by armed stupidity. That’s the wise revelation that launches “SuperFly,” the new remake of the 1972 blaxploitation classic starring Ron O’Neal.
In both versions, a successful coke dealer named Priest decides to pull off one last job before retiring from the drug business, only to find himself in a Chinese finger trap: The harder he tries to get out, the more he’s pulled back in.
Helmed by music video visionary Director X (making his feature debut) and written by Alex Tse (“Watchmen”), “SuperFly” is a delightful surprise: funny, brutal, stylish, and thoughtful. It updates the blaxploitation genre with wit and resonance: Police brutality is an inescapable scourge in Priest’s Atlanta, and our hero dispatches one of his enemies while toppling over a Confederate statue.

Sneak Peek "Superfly", the new action crime thriller, rebooting the 1972 'blaxploitation' feature, starring Jennifer Morrison, Jason Mitchell and Andrea Londo, opening June 13, 2018:
"...'Youngblood Priest' is a slick, degenerate cocaine dealer who has a strong desire to exit the drug business. But before he can exit the drug world, he has to earn enough funds to support his lifestyle as he feels a regular nine to five job will not satisfy his needs.
"He creates a plan to sell thirty kilos of cocaine, and use the profits to sustain him while he searches for a job, which he assumes will be a difficult process due to his criminal background. Along the way Priest has several run-ins with corrupt law enforcement. He also experiences betrayal from his close friend, 'Eddie'.
"In the end, Priest is able to escape from the drug business with his girlfriend 'Georgia', proving that for some. crime does pay.

Superfly, a film from the 70s is back and being reimagined! Director X is taking the cult film and modernizing it with a pretty huge cast and the help of Sony Pictures Entertainment. Check out the trailer below.
The original film from 1972 was about a cocaine dealer who is ready to put the risky life behind but not until he gets one more big deal done. It was also made with an estimated budget of 58,000. This new version seems to be a hundred times the original films budget.
The Director X version which hopes to “redefine the hustle” will star Trevor Jackson as Youngblood Priest with a supporting cast of Jennifer Morrison (Once Upon A Time), Jason Mitchell (Straight Outta Compton), Michael Kenneth Williams (Boardwalk Empire), Lex Scott Davis (The First Purge), Andrea Londo (Narcos), Terayle Hill (Cobra Kai), Allen Maldonado (The Last O.G.), and Omar Chaparro (Overboard).
