The snippet contains information on producers, writers, and directors for the reboot. Jason Blum, Doug Wick and Lucy Fisher are on board to produce, while Daniel Casey, and Zoe Lister- Jones are set to write the script. Lister-Jones is currently on board to direct The Craft as well. The snippet also contains a short, sentence long summary, with identification in the summary that it is in fact a remake. The Craft will start shooting in July, so we should start hearing casting announcements soon!

Lister-Jones is getting her first major studio film after Band Aid, a film she wrote, directed and starred in 2017. The film also included Adam Pally and Fred Armisen. The story centered around a couple that is falling apart and tries to find their way back to each other through music, by starting a rock band.

The Craft while being a movie about the supernatural and witchcraft, it was one of the only movies to focus on navigating social cultures as a teenage girl. It focuses on a new girl trying to find her place as a witch in a new town. The original film was written and directed by men, so it’ll be interesting to see how Lister-Jones presents a new take.

The subject of reboots has been a hot topic recently, with our own Revengers podcast taking submissions on the definition of what reboot is. This follows from The Suicide Squad movie being called a reboot, and many reboots on the horizon, such as the Jay and Silent Bob reboot, and Bumblebee being a “covert” Transformers reboot.
