That’s right, Sony has ordered the remake of ‘The Craft’. (*Facepalm) Leigh Janiak, the writer of 2014’s ‘Honeymoon’, has been tasked with writing the script for the new version of the teenage witch thriller, along with Phil Graziadei who also co-wrote ‘Honeymoon’. The director and cast have yet to be announced for the project. The remake is still in the early phases of preproduction and does not have a release date at this time. I remember the first time I saw the 1996 teenage witch movie ‘The Craft’. The movie was fantastic, it put a spell on me. I must have watched that VHS a hundred time before my VCR ate it. To this day ‘The Craft’

A team of geologists, deep in the Antarctic, uncover an old Nazi laboratory containing the remains of dark experiments. The scientists accidentally unleash a top-secret project, modified, flying sharks and their mutated, super-human zombie riders. The only force that can stop the mutated weapons are the “Dead Flesh Four”, a team of undead U.S. soldiers that were killed and reanimated during the war in Vietnam.

The cast includes Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa (‘Planet of the Apes’), Robert LaSardo (Death Race), Tobias Schenke (Taxi) and Micaela Schafer (Seed 2). ‘Sky Sharks’ sounds like a great flick, but there is one catch, the people behind the zombie movie need your help to finish the project.
