Lionsgate is bringing back key creative voices for its upcoming reimagining of The Blair Witch Project. Joshua Leonard and Michael C. Williams, stars of the 1999 original, are set to executive produce the new film. They will be joined by the original movie's directing team: Eduardo Sánchez, Daniel Myrick, and Gregg Hale, who are also executive producing.
This collaboration marks a significant shift, as the original creators expressed frustration over their lack of involvement in previous sequels. The 1999 found-footage phenomenon was produced on a minimal budget of $35,000 and went on to earn $248 million globally, cementing its status as a profitable horror classic.
Blumhouse is involved in reimagining Lionsgate's horror properties, with Adam Fogelson teasing a fresh vision for the new Blair Witch installment. The film is being produced by James Wan, Jason Blum, Roy Lee, Adam Hendricks, and Greg Gilreath, among others. Dylan Clark is attached to direct from a script by Chris Devlin.
