9 Movie Spoilers We Didn’t Know Last Week (May10th)
4. The Craft Remake Is Actually More Of A Sequel
We've known for some time that a remake of the cult classic 1996 film The Craft is in the works, but we got our first information about the movie's plot this week, which suggests it's not a straight-up remake that just ignores what came before.
Producer Douglas Wick stated, "We wouldn't so much call it a remake as a 'twenty years later'...There will be callbacks to the original movie, so you will see there is a connection between what happened in the days of The Craft, and how these young women come across this magic many years later."
Wick elaborated, "We explore their emotional lives, their wants, their fears, their longings, as they become empowered...So you know, the same way you use a war movie to explore the psyche of men, you get to create a heightened world to explore the psyche of these women. And so that seemed like an opportunity that was ripe and a way to make a movie that would be very much about now."
While we probably shouldn't be expecting many of the original cast members back for anything more than a quick cameo, it's nice that the new movie won't just disregard the beloved original.
