Golden Globe nominated actress Michelle Monaghan is signing up for Blumhouse-Sony-Red Wagon’s reboot of the 1996 cult classic ‘The Craft.’
The ‘True Detective’ actress is joining David Duchovny, Cailee Spaeny, Gideon Adlon, Lovie Simone, Zoey Luna, Nicholas Galitzine and Julian Grey as a part of the growing cast of ‘The Craft’. Monaghan’s role, however, remains a mystery. The original film from which the remake is adapted from followed a newcomer at a Catholic prep high school who falls in with a trio of outcast teen girls who practice witchcraft for personal gain.
