One of the most ‘90s horror films of all time, “The Craft” holds a special place in the hearts of many film fans of that era, who might have worn all black to high school and loved the soothing sounds of The Smiths. Blumhouse knows that there’s potential to bring “The Craft” to a whole new generation and is doing so, with the help of writer-director Zoe Lister-Jones.
And according to Deadline, it appears that Lister-Jones and Blumhouse have the main cast all ready to go for its upcoming horror remake. Actresses Gideon Adlon, Lovie Simone, Zoey Luna, and Cailee Spaeny are the four ladies that will headline the upcoming film.

For those not familiar with the 1996 cult classic film, “The Craft” follows the story of a teen girl that finds herself at a new school and becomes friends with a group of self-proclaimed witches. However, after the foursome begins developing supernatural powers, friendships get tested and, basically, the shit hits the fan. The original film starred Robin Tunney, Fairuza Balk, Neve Campbell, and Rachel True as the four teens that get into the whole witchy business.
Andrew Fleming, the director and co-writer of the 1996 film, is on board as an executive producer alongside Jason Blum from Blumhouse. As mentioned, Lister-Jones is the person that is writing and directing the new film. Before “The Craft,” the filmmaker made her directorial debut with the 2017 film “Band Aid,” in which she starred opposite Adam Pally and Fred Armisen.
The four actresses are all relative newcomers, with each having modest roles in films and TV series over the last several years. Clearly, their roles in “The Craft” will be their highest-profile gig to date, respectively.
There’s no release date set for “The Craft,” but generally, Blumhouse moves pretty quickly with its films, so we could be seeing the four witches making their big-screen return sooner than we think.
