David Duchovny Has Joined the Remake of THE CRAFT
For some reason, two-time Golden Globe-winning X-Files and Californication actor David Duchovny has joined the cast of Blumhouse and Sony Pictures’ remake of The Craft. I’m a big fan of Duchovny and I think he can do better than this, but hey… I guess it a job!
Duchovny will star alongside the previously announced cast of Cailee Spaeny, Gideon Adlon, Lovie Simone, Zoey Luna and Nicholas Galitzine. This remake of the 1996 film seems completely pointless to me. But maybe writer-director Zoe Lister-Jones will be able to make a version of the film that’s better than the original, because I did not like the original.
The original film starred Fairuza Balk, Neve Campbell, and Rachel True as a group of three wannabe witches, who are looking for a fourth member for their rituals. A new student with a telekinetic gift, played by Robin Tunney, transfers into their school and they befriend her. “Bonnie ( Campbell), Rochelle (True) and Nancy (Balk), like Sarah herself, all have troubled backgrounds, which combined with their nascent powers lead to dangerous consequences. When a minor spell causes a fellow student to lose her hair, the girls grow power-mad.”
The director and co-writer of the original film, Andrew Fleming, is on board to executive produce the remake.
