Cailee Spaeny, star of Pacific Rim: Uprising, is reportedly in talks to star in a reboot of the cult-classic supernatural film, The Craft.
Along with playing Amara Namani in Pacific Rim: Uprising, Spaeny also starred in Bad Times at the El Royale, and is set to appear in FX's Devs. Production on The Craft is expected to begin in July.
A remake of The Craft was first announced in 2015, with Sony developing the project at the time. Since then, the reboot has moved to Universal and Blumhouse. Fearstreet's Leigh Janiak was originally set to helm Sony's adaption. Zoe Lister-Jones has signed on to write and direct the reboot.
The Craft, which was released twenty-three years ago, centered on Robin Tunney's Sarah, a newcomer to a Catholic prep high school. She would fall in with a trio of outcasts, led by Fairuza Balk's Nancy, who practice witchcraft and end up conjuring spells and curses against those who've wronged them.
Released in 1996, The Craft starred Robin Tunney as Sarah, Fairuza Balk as Nancy, Neve Campbell as Bonnie and Rachel True as Rochelle. The film was directed by Andrew Fleming from a script by Peter Filardi and Andrew Fleming. Despite only earning $24.8 million at the box office, The Craft has gone on to become a cult classic.
A release date for the reboot has yet to be revealed.
