In a nod to the original 70's Witch Mountain films, Disney is bringing back the original stars Kim Richards and Ike Eisenmann to co-star in the new re-imagining of the franchise, Race to Witch Mountain. The trade also reports that Tom Everett Scott, Chris Marquette, Billy Brown and Cheech Marin will be joining leading stars Dwayne Johnson, Carla Gugino, Ciaran Hinds, Garry Marshall, Alexander Ludwig and AnnaSophia Robb. Director Andy Fickman is leading the project, based on a screenplay by Matt Lopez.

Plot Summary: A modern re-imagining of its classic 1975 adventure movie "Escape to Witch Mountain," about a pair of siblings (Robb and Ludwig), endowed with paranormal powers, who go on the run from a diabolical group of men who wish to exploit their abilities. Johnson, will play a Las Vegas cab driver who picks up a pair of siblings with magical powers.

The plot advances the storyline from the original "Escape to Witch Mountain," which Disney released in 1975.
Eisenmann plays a sheriff and Richards plays a waitress at a roadhouse called Ray's in a town called Stony Creek. Scott is playing a medical specialist, Marquette is a computer specialist, and Brown is a military specialist working for the bad guy (Ciaran Hinds). Marin plays a helpful mechanic.

"...magical powers." WTF?! I thought they were aliens with telekinetic powers.

This is great news mainly for the fact that Kim Richards is still a great beauty and it will be good to see her reprising this role.

Well, telekinesis, telepathy and being able to talk with animals are kind of "magical powers" since no one can actually do them.

What do you mean they don't exist,Lister? I can get my TV to turn on and off and change channels from across the room with but a slight flick of my finger. And my sister's cat certainly starts talking to you if she sees you walk to the pantry. I'm just magic like that!
