Our favourite ’90s cult classic is getting a remake. And we have very mixed feelings.
It’s official: Supernatural thriller The Craft is being remade. The 1996 cult film will be remade by Sony under the direction of young American director Leigh Janiak, according to The Hollywood Reporter— and it’s likely to hit big screens as early as 2017.
While we welcome the opportunity to revisit our youths (let’s face it, we all watched the original at least 40 times), we do wish Hollywould would realise you can’t improve on PERFECTION.
But since the wheels are already in motion, the real question on our lips — apart from whether the movie will still feature a surplus of chokers and over-the-knee socks, of course — is who’ll be cast in the modern-day version.
Here are our picks.
To play Sarah:
Sarah, the new girl at school, has natural *witch powers* that allow the coven to cast more powerful spells than ever before.
Key to casting this role? A wide-eyed, fresh-faced look and a hint of sass.
To play Nancy:
Nancy’s the leader of the group. She’s also interested in black magic, making her the baddest of witches.
Key to this role: Resting Bitch Face (and the ability to pull of wine-coloured lipstick).
