One of the various films rumored for the reboot treatment this year is apparently happening, as Blumhouse confirmed this morning that a redo of “The Craft” is on their docket.
In a tweet this morning, the production company announced their 4 stars, as well as confirming the writer/director/producer attached.
The Craft has its coven! The movie, written, directed and produced by @ZoeListerJones, has cast Cailee Spaeny, Gideon Adlon, Lovie Simone and Zoey Luna to join the witchy, wonderful reimagining of the iconic ‘90s film.

Both Blumhouse and Columbia are co-financing, and Andrew Fleming (the original “The Craft” director) is also on board as a producer.
We don’t really know much else about this particular reboot, other than it’s happening.
So, maybe we’ll be getting more updates during the witchy month of October.
Yeah, I’m not happy about this. Same as the ‘new’ Annie, and Karate Kid, I likely won’t be watching it. No offence, it might be a great remake, but I prefer the classics and don’t actually think they need any ‘improvement’. Why not come up with a new story, a new movie, instead of letting their stifled creativity show by rehashing a perfectly good film.
