Blair Witch Creators to Pitch Sequel

October 31, 2009

The Toronto Star caught up with Eduardo Sánchez, who said that he and The Blair Witch Project co-creator Daniel Myrick are seriously thinking about making a sequel. Here's an excerpt from the article:

They're now at the point where they're ready to do a Blair Witch 3, once again sharing writing and directing. They'd pick up from where the original left off, pretending Blair Witch 2 never happened. The duo recently went on a drive through their original Blair Witch haunts, about a half hour from Sánchez's Maryland home, looking for inspiration.

They've worked up a treatment for a new story, which would involve original cast members Heather Donahue, Joshua Leonard and Michael C. Williams, albeit in smaller roles.

"We're at the step where we're about to pitch to Lionsgate, which owns the movie rights now. It's pretty much up to them. They can completely squash it or greenlight it."

ghost movies have been comng out for a while now, not because of Paranormal Actvity. That was the first to effectively pull it off with a shoestring budget since Blair Witch. I wish they could bypass X3 by pretending it never happened and come out with a proper sequel to X2

Paranormal Activity was garbage, I would love to see this happen, especially if it were to pick up where part one left off

I really liked the 1st one, but doing a sequel 10 yrs later considering Paranormal Activity has taken over the "reality-like" movie genre for the time being, I doubt this movie gets the Green Light (plus, the big thing that sold the movie in the 1st place was that it seemed as if it were real...not so much anymore)
