The Big Picture Lionsgate and Blumhouse have announced that a new take on The Blair Witch Project is in development. That news broke at CinemaCon today, where Collider's Steve Weintraub and Britta DeVore are on the ground. The new movie will be the first film in a multi-picture pact with Blumhouse reimagining horror classics from the Lionsgate library. Jason Blum teams up with producer Roy Lee on the new movie; Lee previously produced the 2016 film Blair Witch.
1999’s Blair Witch Project is considered one of the most profitable films of all time. It was made for a mere $35,000 and would go on to gross $249 million. There would eventually be a 2001 sequel, and a 2016 follow-up, which as previously mentioned, Lee produced. Blum directly links the success of Blair Witch to putting the found-footage genre in the spotlight, which also brought audiences the Paranormal Activity franchise.
What Is The Blair Witch Project? The original Blair Witch Project follows three film students who disappear into a forest in Maryland. The students were in the forest filming a documentary on the Blair Witch. The original film was written, directed, and edited by Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez. The found-footage depicts the three students traveling to Burkittsville, Maryland to create a documentary on the local legend of the Blair Witch.
