The Blair Witch Project is getting reimagined, with Lionsgate announcing that Blumhouse would be reimagining the original film along with their other horror films. The Blair Witch will be the first of a multi-picture alliance between Blumhouse and Lionsgate that will see the horror studio reimagine “horror classics” from the Lionsgate library.
“I’m very grateful to Adam and the team at Lionsgate for letting us play in their sandbox. I’m a huge admirer of The Blair Witch Project, which brought the idea of found footage horror to mainstream audiences and became a true cultural phenomenon,” said Jason Blum at CinemaCon. “I don’t think there would have been a Paranormal Activity had there not first been a Blair Witch, so this feels like a truly special opportunity and I’m excited to see where it leads.”
