I ask because the following story is basically click-bait, so I figured I may as well get a real conversation started.
Okay, so, our friends at DreadCentral had a reader write into them claiming that, while taking an online survey about recent theatrical releases, was asked about what they thought about a remake of The Craft. Now, it’s very possible that this is real – but there’s no way to verify this as I, too, could make an online survey and take a screenshot off of my computer. Furthermore, the reader’s name is “Mikey” – and oddly enough, I’ve been receiving a rash of phony tips from a “Mike” and “Miky”. Coincidence? Who knows.
But, a remake of The Craft has been rumored for years now (since 2006), and nothing has actually come into fruition. In fact, we reported it as dead back in 2008. Although, when you really think about it, The Craft is the perfect film to remake as it’s teen-centric and could be modernized quite a bit. I’d see it…
Robin Tunney, Fairuza Balk, and Neve Campbell starred in the 1996 film that follows a newcomer to a Catholic prep high school whom falls in with a trio of outcast teenage girls that practice witchcraft. They they all soon conjure up various spells and curses against those who even slightly anger them. Andrew Fleming directed the classic.
This scoop is light as a feather, stiff as a board…
