andrew fleming, director of the original film, and star rachel true (who played rochelle in the 1996 film) also gave their two cents about revisit to the craft. while fleming is on board with the idea, true wasn’t one - hundred percent sold on the concept. she expressed her apprehensions :
in 2016, finding the actual oak tree from the film could be as difficult as trying to find a tree when kesell was first looking for one. wood ranch in simi valley no longer appears the way it did when the film was shot. only a couple of years after the film came out, the area had been massively developed with homes, parks and a country club. upon contacting the simi valley film office, we learned it had no records for the craft since protocol requires it to save film permits and other related documents for only 10 years .

because of the preemptive bombing of the craft, the humans are having to brace for a response attack and the base is being evacuated. louise exits the craft, she' s being escorted out. the rest of the humans are preparing to go to war with the aliens. all the crafts assume a horizontal position .
upon rewatching the craft, we guessed that the church was most likely not one of the commonly filmed, prominent catholic churches of los angeles due to its size and the content of the film. any filming in a catholic church requires script approval from the archdiocese, and a film about witchcraft probably was not going to be highly regarded .

but i don’t love the craft just because it’s a cult classic, though a huge part of enjoying the craft is poking fun at the fashions and the general ham - fisted approach of 90s movies. the film is deeper than that. high school has always been more than hand - wringing over frenemy drama, securing a prom date, freaking about graduation, and fretting about how to spend the last summer before college. the adolescent experience is fraught with feelings of helplessness and insecurity .

the alien vessel, after the human attack, goes up higher. they lose the ability to enter the craft now. ian has a breakthrough. he isolates 12 repeating symbols that match with the number of alien crafts. they feel that the aliens are trying to tell them that all 12 countries have to unite their knowledge to understand the reason of their visit. while trying to decipher the last complex message, louise sees a glimpse of a small transportation module coming out of the main craft. she also sees a vision of her inside the craft. she doesn' t understand the visions but she goes outside. as seen, the transportation module comes down, louise steps in, and is taken to the craft. inside the craft, she meets the heptapod. it explains that she has the ability to see the future. it is confirmed that “use weapon” was actually “use gift”. the aliens have come to gift their language to the humans. they say that 3000 years later, they will need the human' s help .

perhaps it is strange that i assign such gravitas to a movie like the craft, but the honest truth is that the movie has resonated with me for years, since the very first time i saw it to my last viewing a couple of weeks ago. the film has meant different things to me as i’ve progressed through life. it has offered insights into my own childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. i see my own development mirrored in the film .

upon calling the church to arrange a time to take photos for this article, the administrator asked what the film was about. we said it was about a group of outcast girls in high school, apprehensive, like the crew, that the church wouldn’t allow us to take photos due to the nature of the film. however, the church accepted our request, and, when we arrived, the same administrator told us she looked up the film to get more details. she was fairly certain that the archdiocese wouldn’t have approved the craft for filming at st. peter’s or any other catholic church in l. a. for a moment we thought the jig was up, but the administrator happily let us take our photos .
sony got mixed reactions last may when it originally announced that the craft remake was happening. no recent horror reboot has fared well against critics or fans, and the idea of bringing back this 1996 cult classic certainly had some groaning in disgust. though, we' ve yet to see how the idea of a true sequel will go over amongst the craft coven .

to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the pop - culture phenomenon that is the craft, we revisited many of the original filming locations and in the process met a number of property managers and administrators who told us how much they adore the movie. we also spoke with dobrowolski, location manager gary kesell and key assistant location manager brett williams about what it was like shooting the craft in l. a. during the mid -' 90s .
to me, the craft was never an average teen movie. it was too dark, too brooding, but not in a bad way. upon release, it was something special, providing a much needed counterpoint to another 90s classic, the bubbly and hilarious clueless. the craft is still special and will remain that way, despite news that sony has greenlit an unnecessary remake or sequel of the film. (which, like, why? no one asked for that) .
because oak trees over a certain size are largely protected in california, the magical tree from the craft likely is still out there, but today it could easily be in someone’s backyard .
the girls go to the woods to form a sacred bond to one another and set their intentions as to what powers they would like to cultivate. the oak tree where the girls perform this ceremony was perhaps the most difficult location to find for the craft .
they reach the alien craft and enter it from an opening below. the gravity in the craft is altered and is perpendicular to that of the earth. this has no significance except to let us know that the aliens are quite clearly an advanced civilization. the team goes wearing radiation suits. on louise’s first trip onboard, she’s unable to say anything as she’s dumbstruck by the sight of the 7 - legged aliens. they later begin to call the aliens heptapods .

for those old enough to remember the movie' s release in theaters, it is truly a solemn anniversary, as the craft officially turns 20 years old today. where oh where has the time gone? as fleming told us during an interview to reflect on the film' s two decades in the pop - cultural zeitgeist, “it feels like i made the movie five minutes ago. ”
andrew fleming’s cult classic the craft was one of those films that arrived at the right time and with the right tone. the mid - 1990s were rife with alternative looks, as grunge and goth both hit the mainstream. as a result, the 1996 film found itself a minor box office success, taking in a respective $ 55 million on a rather small budget of $ 15 million .
the first l. a. location to pop up in the craft is lax and its iconic theme building, the futuristic structure built in 1961, which housed the airport’s encounter restaurant from 1997 to 2013. not only did the production have to grab a shot outside the terminal at the passenger pickup curb, but rain effects were also required, which, early in the film, set up the theme that would permeate the rest of the movie: the four elements of nature and their use in paganism .
the star initially had concerns about starring in another horror so soon after the craft, but wisely decided otherwise, with co - star skeet ulrich (who plays jock chris) also joining her in the first instalment .
“there will be callbacks to the original movie, so you will see there is a connection between what happened in the days of the craft, and how these young women come across this magic many years later. ”

of course the possibility of reassembling the original cast is something true says “ will never happen. ” and true’s reservations echo those of many film fanatics: why ?
along with fleming and rachel true, producer douglas wick also sat down with us to share his reflections on the craft' s development, production and legacy. all three have a clear, abiding love and respect for the film, but true in particular that love and respect comes with a slight edge. clearly thankful to have won the role that made her a “name” actress, when i asked if she felt that the film changed her career in a significant way, she answered bluntly .
i love the craft because, at its core, it is a movie about real pain experienced in your teenage years. a lot of kids, girls especially, struggle with problems that transcend the hollywood version of high school life. the craft rejects that hollywood version and focuses on four vulnerable outcasts and what these girls do to gain control over their lives. we have all felt the unique helplessness of being a teenager, old enough to realize you don’t have any control over your life yet too young to do anything about it. the craft confronts that reality, and i love it .

it’s the first year, so it will be interesting to see what the turnout is going to be. given the reception that we’ve had, the press that we’ve had, the fact that the granite state brewers association is backing this 100 percent and promoting the heck out of it, along with brew new hampshire, another organization dedicated to new hampshire craft beer, i think that this is going to be very important. i think this could be a signature event in the future for new hampshire craft beer .

still, even when sleepovers became more about social scenes and hunky actors, we would watch the craft every once in a while. bonnie, rochelle, sarah, and nancy were still cool, but the film took on a darker aspect. it wasn’t about the creepy rituals anymore; it was about how these girls struggled with their problems, the least of which was fitting in at school .

today, there’s nothing hollywood enjoys more than taking a minor but still popular hit like the craft, finding a hot young director, and remaking / rebooting the heck out of it. so it wasn’t much of a surprise when, last year, sony announced they were remaking the occult teen thriller. and while remakes tend to ear the ire of die - hard fans, apparently this version of the witch - sploitation film won’t forget all of its roots .
one of the most memorable sequences in the craft employed an insane amount of snakes, bugs and rodents, which appeared to be taking over the house. about 2, 700 snakes were used in the sequence, and some of them had to be filmed at the home’s exterior in sunland. kesell says, “i know that they [ the snake wranglers ] knew exactly how many snakes they brought, and i know that not all of them got back in the box. ” so if you happen upon a snake in the sunland area, there’s a good chance its slithery relative appeared in the craft .

more than any other line of dialogue from the craft, this quote captures the lasting appeal of the seminal teen classic. released on may 3, 1996, writer - director andrew fleming' s ode to teenage pariahdom finished no 1. at the box office in its opening weekend, surprising industry onlookers and beating out the heavily - hyped pamela anderson starring vehicle barb wire. though both films featured woman protagonists, they couldn' t have been more different; while anderson' s outsized brand of femininity was designed to service the male gaze, the craft was a film about teenage girls, for teenage girls. unlike amy heckerling' s candy - coated clueless — the standard - bearer of mid - 1990s teen cinema — it dove headfirst into the darker undercurrents of the young female psyche .

while not a hit on the level of heckerling' s film, the craft made a decent return at the box office and found even more success in its post - theatrical run, where it brilliantly captured the angst - ridden zeitgeist of the post - grunge years. even 20 years later, it continues to be discovered by new generations of middle - and - high - schoolers who recognize something of themselves in the film' s core group of outcasts: rage - fueled rebel nancy (fairuza balk); damaged newcomer sarah (robin tunney); playful outsider rochelle (rachel true); and timid burn victim bonnie (neve campbell) .

i hadn’t wanted to direct the film. at first, i was just brought in to work on the script. i’d recently finished a horror movie called bad dreams and i didn’t want to make the same thing again. but then i realised the craft was essentially a character piece: the story of four teenage girls not fitting in at school as much as one about spells and witchcraft. i didn’t want the witches to have pointed hats or fly around on broomsticks. i wanted them to look like they were in the cure .
