While recent headlines involving cult classic The Craft have been unfavorable to say the least--i.e. Rachael True calling out conventions for excluding her in favor of her three white co-stars--the announcement of a remake is welcome news (well, depending on how you feel about remakes).
Blumhouse Productions is producing a remake of the 1996 film, which centered around four teen girls who create chaos when they begin dabbling in witchcraft. Shadow and Act reports director Leigh Janiak was originally set to helm a follow up, one set two decades after the events of the first film and that focused on a new group of witches. However, with Janiak gone Zoe Lister-Jones is set to direct, with screenwriter Daniel Casey coming aboard to rewrite the script.
While remakes can either be triumph or trash, the fact Blumhouse is the same production company that brought us Get Out and Halloween is heartening.
