Cailee Spaeny To Star in Blumhouse's Remake of The 1996 Film THE CRAFT

Cailee Spaeny (Pacific Rim: Uprising, Bad Times at the El Royale, On The Basis of Sex) is in negotiations to star in Sony Pictures’ remake of the 1996 supernatural film The Craft.

Blumhouse is producing the film and Life in Pieces star Zoe Lister-Jones will write and direct it. She also co-wrote, produced, and starred in the indie comedy Breaking Upwards and wrote and directed the film Band Aid.

The original film starred Fairuza Balk, Neve Campbell, Robin Tunney, and Rachel True as a group of three wannabe witches, who are looking for a fourth member for their rituals. A new student with a telekinetic gift transfers into their school and they befriend her. “Bonnie ( Campbell), Rochelle (True) and Nancy (Balk), like Sarah herself, all have troubled backgrounds, which combined with their nascent powers lead to dangerous consequences. When a minor spell causes a fellow student to lose her hair, the girls grow power-mad.”

There’s no information on who exactly Spaeny is playing, but according to Variety, it will be one of the witch characters in the story.

I really don’t care that this movie is being remade. I never really cared for the original movie. I wouldn’t be surprised if Blumhouse’s remake actually ends up being better than the original movie.
