Witches seem to be getting a lot of love lately, and it’s long overdue. Sure, their scary portrayal in feature films may turn off some peaceful folks out there who are into nature and all, but let’s not forget there’s good and bad in every culture, and let’s face it … being bad … especially in movies … is so much more fun!

During an interview with MovieWeb director Darren Stein (pictured right; Jawbreaker) divulged the following tasty tidbit of info regarding his next project:

“I’m actually writing a film right now, which is about a coven of witches. It definitely feels like something new since it deals with media and reality TV. It’s sort of like picking something that’s mythic and supernatural and wanting to be famous and bringing it into the media age where the Kardashians exist. People are famous for being on TV and perhaps not doing much. I don’t want to tell you exactly what it is, because I feel the idea is still fresh, and I don’t want to put it out in the press yet, exactly what it is. It’s pretty high-concept, though. It’s like Scream meets Black Swan (Laughs). It’s got sort of a melodrama, girl-on-girl conflict of Black Swan, and the snarky, modern-day media references that Scream had.”

Interesting! More soon!
