By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on April 10‚ 2024 Comment 0 Share New Share This wont be your mamas Blair Witch! Thats what Lionsgate and Blumhouse execs Adam Fogelson and Jason Blum promised at CinemaCon today‚ where the studios announced a multi-film partnership that includes remaking (or making a sequel of?) the 1999 found footage phenom‚ The Blair Witch Project.I have been incredibly fortunate to work with Jason many times over the years. We forged a strong relationship onThe Purgewhen I was at Universal‚ and we launched STX with his filmThe Gift.There is no one better at this genre than the team at Blumhouse‚ said Fogelson (via The Hollywood Reporter). We are thrilled to kick this partnership off with a new vision forBlair Witchthat will reintroduce this horror classic for a new generation.Blum also acknowledged that returning to Blair Witch was a truly special opportunity and he was excited to see where it leads.I am also interested to see where this leads. Would the kids lost in the woods capture everything on their cell phones (and possibly uploaded to TikTok) instead of a camcorder? Other than that‚ will anything about it be markedly different than the original‚ which was captured via found footage from a cracked video camera that revealed some teens get stalked and murdered by a malevolent supernatural force? Time will tell! [end-mark]The post Found Footage Is Back‚ Baby! A New Blair Witch Movie Is in the Works appeared first on Reactor.
