The Craft remake summons Zoe Lister-Jones as writer and director

Zoe Lister-Jones will write and direct Columbia Pictures’ remake of The Craft, the 1996 movie about four high school students who form a coven, EW has confirmed. Lister-Jones previously wrote, directed, and starred in the 2017 comedy Band Aid, and also appears in the CBS show Life in Pieces.

Reacting to the news on social media, she wrote, “Dreams. Coming. True.”

The original version of The Craft was directed by Andrew Fleming (Dick, Hamlet 2) and starred Rachel True, Neve Campbell, Fairuza Balk, and Robin Tunney as the quartet of young witches. The movie earned $24 million upon its release (about $50.7 million in today’s dollars) and over time has acquired a diehard following.

“I still get tweets about it,” Balk told EW in 2017. “What an honor to have been part of something that people love so much.”

The remake will be produced by Red Wagon Entertainment and Jason Blum for Blumhouse. The film is cofinanced by Blumhouse and Columbia.

Watch the trailer for the original version of The Craft below.

The Walking Dead finale recap: A flicker of hope predicts big things ahead

The storm is here. The Kingdom is barren as snow begins to fall on the once thriving settlement. The fair is over, but the promised trade didn’t bring what many hoped. Their pipes still burst, the rot still spread, and this home, this beacon for so many who sought shelter from the cold apocalyptic wasteland, became untenable. So now, the King and Queen, still carrying the grief of losing their son, must now carry their people to Hilltop as a harsh blizzard descends upon them and the Whisperers still lurk in their periphery. But, once the storm passes and their friends on the hill open up their gates, it all seems like a blip on the timeline. We’re left with both hope and a promise of much bigger things to come. In the final moments before the credits roll, that radio Eugene, Rosita, and Gabriel have been tinkering with since the time jump, their initial mission that first put everyone on the warpath with the Whisperers, finally fulfilled its purpose. When the blizzard came, the power
