1996 teen thriller The Craft is heading back to the big screen, with Leigh Janiak set to direct.
NewsThe remake clock has firmly hit the mid-1990s, and we suspect that this story is going to have few friends. That's because Sony has ordered a remake of the 1996 teen thriller, The Craft.
The original starred Fairuza Balk, Neve Campbell and Rachel True, and was written and directed by Andrew Fleming. The new version has landed on the desk of Leigh Janiak (a promising choice, to be fair), and she'll be penning the screenplay and directing The Craft remake. Phil Graziadei will co-write the script with her.
Janiek previously directed horror movie Honeymoon, as well as an episode of the upcoming Scream TV series.
Thus far, there's no casting news, just the usual empty feeling when another remake of a well-liked movie is announced. It may all turn out well, of course, but it increasingly feels like no film is safe from the remake treatment. At this rate, they'll remake Back To The Future soon...
