Blumhouse and Lionsgate are entering into a new partnership to reimagine classics from the Lionsgate film library. First up? The Blair Witch Project. The deal was announced this afternoon during the CinemaCon presentation from the studio. Jason Blum will produce alongside Roy Lee, who produced the last film in the series in 2016.
Blum said this: '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.
We forged a strong relationship on The Purge when I was at Universal, and we launched STX with his film The Gift. There is no one better at this genre than the team at Blumhouse,' said Fogelson. 'We are thrilled to kick this partnership off with a new vision for Blair Witch that will reintroduce this horror classic for a new generation. We couldn't be more pleased to be working with them on this and other projects we look forward to revealing soon.
