I am not sure why The Blair Witch Project needs a reboot, but Blumhouse and Lionsgate are doing exactly that.
About The New Blair Witch Project Movie
Not much is known about the Blair Witch Project reboot which is scheduled to release sometime in 2025, and you have to ask why it needs to be made, and the answer would probably be $$$.
Apparently it is going to be a re-imagining of the original 1999 title.
Earlier this year, Lionsgate and Blumhouse revealed they’re working on it,and this is part of a deal to bring back popular horror films from Lionsgate’s collection.(Why though?)
Jason Blum had this to say in a statement released.
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.
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.
Part of me is intrigued certainly, but a big part of me knows that this just isn’t needed, do we really need a 4th movie?
After the original film, Book of Shadows was released which completely bombed, followed by a direct sequel in 2016 which fared a bit better.
I will bring you more news on the film as it arrives!
At least we have a new Hell House LLC movie to look forward to in 2025.
