Blumhouse, Red Wagon, Sony and director Zoe Lister-Jones have conjured up a fresh new take on ’90s classic The Craft, and it looks like it’s coming *home* this October.
The Craft will reportedly be released straight to VOD on October 27. A surprise treat for the Halloween season, as we had assumed the film would be coming to theaters in 2021.
It should be noted that the beans were spilled over the weekend by Amazon’s “New for October” press release (in the “Available for Purchase or Rent on Prime Video” section), and at this time neither Blumhouse nor Columbia Pictures have confirmed the date. We’re working to get that confirmation, so stay tuned and we’ll update you if anything changes.
The cast includes Cailee Spaeny, Gideon Adlon, Lovie Simone, Zoey Luna, David Duchovny, Michelle Monaghan, Donald MacLean Jr., Nicholas Galitzine and Julian Grey.
“The original, led by Robin Tunney, Fairuza Balk, Neve Campbell, Christine Taylor, and Rachel True, followed a newcomer at a Catholic prep high school who falls in with a trio of outcast teenage girls who practice witchcraft, and wage curses against those who tick them off.”
The remake comes from Blumhouse and Columbia Pictures. Andrew Fleming, who co-wrote and directed the original film, is on board to executive produce the remake.
Jason Blum, Douglas Wick and Lucy Fisher are producing.
