A new reboot of the 1999 horror hit will feature two of the original stars and the directing team as executive producers

The reboot of The Blair Witch Project will now boast those involved with the original as producers after they voiced their frustration.

The 1999 indie smash was made for $35,000 but made $248m, becoming one of the most profitable films ever made.

In 2024, a new take was announced from Lionsgate in conjunction with Blumhouse, the company behind genre hits such as The Purge, Get Out and Five Nights at Freddy’s.

Those involved with the original came out to express their annoyance over not being involved with the new version after previously being shut out of the 2000 and 2016 sequels, both of which failed to recapture the critical or commercial success of the first film.
