'The Craft' remake in works

Cult classic "The Craft", which released in 1996, is getting a remake.

Actor-filmmaker Zoe Lister-Jones is in talks to write and direct the remake, reported Digital Spy.

Columbia Pictures and Blumhouse are producing the remake, along with Douglas Wick and Lucy Fisher's Red Wagon Entertainment, which was behind the original film.

The original film revolved around a girl with telekinetic powers, who becomes friends with a group of three wannabe witches after she is shifted to a new high school in Los Angeles.

Robin Tunney, Fairuza Balk, Neve Campbell and Rachel True starred as the four girls who wreaked havoc in their school, casting spells and curses on anyone who looked at them the wrong way.

Daniel Casey will be co-writing the reboot, which will see all of the main characters' names changed.
