There’s news spreading like wildfire that the forthcoming remake of The Craft is being produced by Blumhouse. This is true and there’s also a new director, as reported below. Production Weekly shared a fresh listing for The Craft in last week’s edition, which is the source of the news.

We learned three years ago that Honeymoon director Leigh Janiak’s “remake” was set to be a 20-years-later sequel rather than a new take on the same story we already saw back in 1996; from what we gathered, it was to center on a new group of women discovering the power of magic.

Janiak is no longer attached to direct as we’ve just reported that Zoe Lister-Jones will be writing and directing the fresh take.

Two years ago, Daniel Casey was tapped to rewrite Janiak’s The Craft. The previous version of the script was penned by Janiak and Phil Graziadei.

Andrew Fleming directed The Craft, which starred Robin Tunney as a teenage girl who befriends a group of budding witches played by Neve Campbell, Fairuza Balk and Rachel True.
