Blair Witch Co-Creator Wants To Use The Unseen Footage For New Edit – Sign The Petition To Lionsgate

Every self-respecting horror fan has seen 1999’s The Blair Witch Project. But here’s something you might know, the ground-breaking film generated over 19 hours of usable footage. Blair Witch Project was edited down to only 90 minutes. For genre fans and fans of The Blair Witch Project’s unused footage is kind of a holy grail. During an interview with the Found Footage Files podcast Eduardo Sánchez, co-creator of The Blair Witch Project and executive producer of the up coming Blair Witch sequel, revealed that he wants to use the unseen footage. In a couple of weeks I could probably that the original movie and edit a longer version. I know the fans are like ‘Everybody wants to see it’… it would be cool to do, honestly. I wouldn’t hesitate to do that if Lionsgate Films hired me. I think it would be a lot of fun.” Sánchez continued. “Start a petition…if I can get enough interest from the fans, I

Game Of Thrones Actress Join Steven Spielberg’s Haunted

Back in March we reported that 28 Weeks Later’s Juan Carlos Fresnadillo had signed on to direct Haunted, a passion project by Steven Spielberg. Game of Thrones and Last Witch Hunter actress Rose Leslie (above) joins Annabelle’s Alfre Woodard (below) as the first cast members for this dark ghost tale from Amblin Entertainment. The script, penned by Chad and Carey Hayes (The Conjuring), for Haunted is inspired by the 1898 gothic novella Turn of the Screw written by Henry James. “The novella’s anonymous narrator is a young woman, a parson’s daughter, who is engaged as governess to two seemingly innocent children at a remote English country house. What initially seems a idyllic soon turns nightmarish, as she becomes convinced that the children are consorting with a pair of malevolent spirits. These are the ghosts of former employees at Bly: a valet and a previous governess. In life, scandalously, the two of them had been discharged as illicit lovers, and their

Adam Wingard’s The Woods Is Actually A Blair Witch Sequel !

One of the biggest stories to come out of this weekend’s San Diego Comic Con is that Lionsgate has pulled a fast one, sneaky bastards. Adam Wingard’s The Woods is actually a sequel to Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez’s 1999’s hit The Blair Witch Project. Back in April we reported that another sequel was in the works, but last night news came that the sequel has been here all long, under the title The Woods, and it has a new name, Blair Witch. I have no idea how they kept this quiet for so long (3 years). But with such a great director and a list of heavy hitters producing, we knew the film was going to big from the start. Adam Wingard has a list of great films on his resume, including You’re Next, The Guest, and V/H/S and V/H/S 2. Blair Witch was penned by Simon Barrett, Wingard’s long time collaborator. Those “heavy hitters” I was referring to,
