The New Generation


The popular media that inspired young teens to be interested in Witchcraft or becoming Witches seemed to slowly go down the wayside besides the Harry Potter Books and films of course. The media had shows and movies such as "Bewitched", "Teen Witch", "HalloweenTown"," Sabrina, the Teenage Witch", "Charmed", "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", "The Craft", "Practical Magic", and shows that had an episode featuring a theme of Witchcraft has dwindled down and there is not anything like this for the new Hannah Monata generation. However, this is going to change very soon. The release of a remake of "Teen Witch" is in the works. Ashley Tisdale is going to be the new modern teen witch, Louise Miller. The movie is about Louise being an unpopular girl who finds out she is a witch and is taught by an elder woman how to possess her natural powers which in turns makes her the "coolest girl" at school. This movie when it was released in the late 80's was a huge success. Many girls who identified with being unpopular wanted to be Louise and inspired them to want to be Witches. If this film project makes it into production and releases, it could possibly be the beginning to a new era of hot tv shows and movies involving witches.
The media knows this will be a hit because it will be an updated version of what has already worked in the past. There are a new generation of unpopular, nerdy, rebellious and outsider kids who will eat up movies like remake of "Teen Witch"
