With the slew of old movies getting remade, it comes as no surprise that the 90s cult horror flick, "The Craft," is getting a reboot. Sony has reportedly given the green light to have another go at the 1996 film that featured Robin Tunney, Neve Campbell, Rachel True and Fairuza Balk.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, female director Leigh Janiak is set to direct the movie for Sony. Janiak is also set to write the screenplay with Phil Graziadei.

This is not the first time the duo would collaborate on a horror film. Both Janiak and Graziadei penned the script for the horror flick "Honeymoon," starring Rose Leslie and Harry Treadaway which came out in 2014. 

Screen Rant noted that Janiak also directed an episode of the MTV remake "Scream," which was based on the movie of the same name.

Doug Wick would come on board to produce the movie along with former Columbia vice chairman, Lucy Fisher. Wick was also the producer of the original film, THR added.

"The Craft" talked about the story of Sarah, played by Tunney, who transferred to a Catholic school in Los Angeles. In school, she met three amateur witches namely Nancy, played by Balk, Bonnie, portrayed by Campbell, and Rochelle, portrayed by True.

The trio was not aware that Sarah is a true witch and because of her "expertise," welcomed her into their group. However, things went for a dark turn when the quartet decided to use supernatural powers to fix their issues. 

The original film did not enjoy immense success as initially expected. Cinema Blend reported that it only earned $24 million in the box office. But it seems that with its cult following and the creative juices from Sony, the movie could finally hit the expectation the second time around.

How the production team will select the four stars who will portray the roles of the young witches should also be an interesting challenge.

With Janiak on board, it seems that Hollywood firms have now taken steps to address the criticisms brought up by the American Civil Liberties Union regarding the small number of female directors getting projects or what they termed as the "systematic failure to hire women directors at all levels of the film and television industry."

There's still no word on possible cast members and release date as the film is still in the early phases of development.
