It will be a \u201creimagining\u201d which means there may be changes in the story. But I am guessing we\u2019ll still have four sisters (three at first, joined by a fourth, since it was loosely based on the same plot point from the 1996 film THE CRAFT) and they\u2019ll be hopelessly gorgeous rich white girls. They\u2019ll get into capers and fall in love and be frustrated by their inability to merge their witchcraft lives with their mundane lives. And there will be some occasional nastiness as spells go awry and they\u2019re threatened with exposure. And there will be epiphanies and recriminations and comeuppances. Right?<\/p>\n

Anyone actually looking forward to this?<\/p>\n
