Midler, who has openly advocated for the sequel, slammed the television remake, telling People magazine it will be "cheap."
“I’m not sure what they’re going to do with my character," said the singer, who played Winifred Sanderson in the original. "My character is very, very broad and I don’t know who they’re going to find to play that.”
