The remake of 1996’s “The Craft”, conjured up last year over at Sony, is moving ahead – – only, seems it’s much less a redo and more of a continuation of the bewitching classic.
Speaking to HitFix, producer Douglas Wick (who also served the same role on the first) said the new film is set 20 years after the original movie.
“There will be callbacks to the original movie, so you will see there is a connection between what happened in the days of The Craft,” he tells the site, “and how these young women come across this magic many years later.”
Leigh Janiak and Phil Graziadei are working on the script for the flick, which as yet has no actors attached.
“Here are some young women who once again discover the power of magic, and we explore their emotional lives, their wants, their fears, their longings, as they become empowered,” Wick explains. “So you know, the same way you use a war movie to explore the psyche of men, you get to create a heightened world to explore the psyche of these women. And so that seemed like an opportunity that was ripe and a way to make a movie that would be very much about now. And of course, part of that was just finding a talent that felt like enough of a real talent that you’d really be interested in her interpretation of this kind of story now, and of course Leigh is exactly that.”
Neve Campbell cameo guaranteed..right?
