Re-Cast a HYPOTHETICAL reboot of The Craft (1996) - Blu-ray Forum

OK, we were talking about how this is one movie that could possibly benefit from a reboot. And so I started thinking about who would make a great central foursome. Hmm. Also, this is not to imply that there's anything wrong with the original. It's still fun -- saw it recently, actually. But as the original poster pointed out it could benefit from a more modern technological approach.

So, we have four characters to concern ourselves with:

Sarah Bailey (Robin Tunney)

Nancy Downs (Fairuza Balk)

Bonnie (Neve Campbell)

Rochelle (Rachel True)

So, the first one who popped into my head for Bonnie was Hailee Steinfeld. She's so beautiful and so talented.

I could definitely see Victoria Justice as Sarah. Unfortunately, I don't know if she has the chops since I've never seen her in anything.

Nina Dobrev would be excellent for Nancy. And yeah, she's 28, but it's not like Fairuza Balk was a kid when they made the original.

Amandla Stenberg would be an interesting choice for Rochelle. She's pretty young at 18, but at least I know some of her work from the Hunger Games.

I'm surprised no Bella Thorne.

You know, I seriously considered her for Nancy. But I settled on Victoria since, well, this would mean that I'd finally get to see her in something!

But Bella's definitely on the roster, so to speak. And we already know she's sorta nuts in real life, so playing Nancy wouldn't be too tough. Someone else I obviously considered, though I wasn't sure for which role (probably Sarah) was Zoey Deutch.

If you want the movie to linger forever in hell and then get released 5 years later. Sure.

Hey, now you're stealing my material.

You lost me at possibly benefit from a reboot.

I'll meet you half-way in female practitioners of the black arts AaronJ, howsa 'bout a remake of The Witches of Eastwick with Eva Green, Jessica Chastain and Charlize Theron?

So as not to derail your thread, I'll throw in my Craft remake picks: Saoirse Ronan (Sarah), Alexandra Daddario (Bonnie), Kiersey Clemons (Rochelle) and the great Aubrey Plaza (Nancy). This cast or no dice!

AmrlKJaneway · 10-02-2017, 09:34 AM

Should have an all male cast in the reboot. Asian men. And they're gay. And really old.

I absolutely love BOTH ideas.

Damn. Aubrey Plaza? She would be totally badass.
