Blumhouse And Lionsgate To Reimagine Studioโs Horror Classics Starting With โThe Blair Witch Projectโ โ CinemaCon
Following their collaboration on horror picย Imaginary,ย Lionsgateย andย Blumhouseย are partnering again, this time to develop and produce a new take onย The Blair Witch Project. This will be the first film in a multi-picture pact with Blumhouse reimagining horror classics from the Lionsgate library.
The announcement was made Wednesday by Adam Fogelson, chair, Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, andย Jason Blum, founder andย CEOย of Blumhouse, during Lionsgateโsย CinemaConย presentation in Las Vegas.
Blum will team with producerย Roy Leeย on the newย Blair Witch; Lee previously produced the 2016 filmย Blair Witch.
The firstย Blair Witchย film was a phenomenon when it was released in 1999, becoming a global blockbuster making $248 million at the box office and spawning two additional franchise films. Lionsgate currently operates Escape Blair Witch, one of Las Vegasโ most popular escape room experiences.
โI have been incredibly fortunate to work with Jason many times over the years. We forged a strong relationship onย The Purgeย when I was at Universal, and we launched STX with his filmย The Gift.ย There is no one better at this genre than the team at Blumhouse,โ said Fogelson. โWe are thrilled to kick this partnership off with a new vision forย Blair Witchย that will reintroduce this horror classic for a new generation.ย We couldnโt beย more pleased to be working with them on this and other projects we look forward to revealing soon.โ
Said Blum, โIโm very grateful to Adam and the team at Lionsgate for letting us play in their sandbox. Iโm a huge admirer ofย The Blair Witch Project, which brought the idea of found-footage horror to mainstream audiences and became a true cultural phenomenon. I donโt think there would have been aย Paranormal Activityย had there not first been aย Blair Witch, so this feels like a truly special opportunity and Iโm excited to see where it leads.โ
