Back in May 2015, it was announced that director Leigh Janiak would be directing a remake of the cult 1996 supernatural thriller The Craft, which was later revealed to be a “quasi-sequel” picking up some 20 years after the original.
It’s been all quiet on the project since then, but now The Tracking Board is reporting that 10 Cloverfield Lane screenwriter Daniel Casey has been brought in to do a rewrite of the script, which was original penned by Janiak and her Honeymoon partner Phil Graziadei.
Casey has several projects in the work at the moment; he’s currently working on Fede Alvarez’s Incognito, and is also adapting the Larry Niven short story Inconstant Moon for director James Ponsoldt.
The Craft was directed by Andrew Fleming, and starred Robin Tunney as a troubled teenager who befriends a group of budding witches played by Neve Campbell, Fairuza Balk and Rachel True.
