Vorlicek to direct sequel to children's classic

Director Vaclav Vorlicek is set to direct a sequel to his well-known children's classic "Divka na kosteti" - A Girl on a Broom, dating back to 1971. Then, the lead role of Saxana, a pretty witch, was performed by actress and pop singer Petra Cernocka, who returns in the lead role. Other actors will include Jan Hrusinsky, Jan Kraus, and Petr Narozny. The new film, which has a 65 million crown budget (the equivalent of roughly 3 million US dollars), is to be released in 2008. It has been given the title "Saxana - Veletrh strasidel", or Saxana - The Monsters' Fair.
