Former Disney star Vanessa Hudgens is coming out with a new reality movie documenting her exploration of witchcraft.
The 33-year-old actress partnered with Bunim/Murray Productions to create the unscripted film, “Dead Hot: Season of the Witch,” per a report from Variety. The project follows Hudgens and her best friend, musician GG McGee, as they attempt to interact with the supernatural and head to Salem, Massachusetts, to deepen their connection to witchcraft.
The film is in post-production and currently being shopped around, the publication reported. It’s being pitched as “The Craft” mixed with “The Simple Life.”
“As self-taught students of witchcraft, intuitives and empaths they have been experimenting with and connecting to the spirit world,” the film description says. “They have begun to pull back the thin veil between the living and the dead, the darkness and the light, and good and evil.”
It continues, saying after a “ghost hunt gone wrong,” the duo heads to the city with a deep history of witchcraft for help. “Vanessa and GG embark on a pilgrimage to Salem, Massachusetts for a master class in witchcraft, the power of the goddess, and the Divine Feminine,” the description continues.
“While they hone their craft, bind their sisterhood and step into their personal power, they unearth the personal demons holding them back from fulfilling their own destiny.”
Both Hudgens and McGee have been experimenting with the supernatural since childhood.
“They’ve been doing little spells since they were kids, and they were just really interested in that world,” Julie Pizzi, president of Bunim/Murray Productions, told Variety.
“They’re so into it,” Pizzi said. “As we got to know them, we realized that their curiosity in connecting with the spirit realm and paranormal and supernatural exploration was so much deeper than ghost hunting. It’s an exploration in the spiritual realm. It’s a lot about self love, and them finding their inner strength and power.”
“It’s entertainment first, but there’s a real, personal, spiritual journey that they both have together,” Pizzi continued. “It’s so emotionally raw that it really created such a beautiful narrative. It’s a lot about female empowerment.”
Hudgens is best known for her role in the popular “High School Musical” Disney series in the early 2000s. She’s also a musician and has had other acting roles in the years since. The Disney alum also spoke about her interest in the supernatural previously.
“I’ve accepted the fact that I see things and I hear things,” she told Kelly Clarkson earlier this year during an appearance on her show. “The unknown is scary, but I recently was like, ‘No, this is a gift and something that I have the ability to do, so I’m going to lean into it.'”
