Lionsgate‘s forthcoming reimagining of The Blair Witch Project is conjuring up its previous creative voices.

Dylan Clark is set to helm a new take on the horror property from a script by Chris Devlin that the director is rewriting. Additionally, The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Joshua Leonard and Michael C. Williams, who starred in the original 1999 found-footage hit, are set to serve as executive producers, as are the first movie’s directing team of Eduardo Sánchez, Daniel Myrick and Gregg Hale.

In 2024, Lionsgate and Blumhouse announced at CinemaCon that a new feature version of The Blair Witch Project was in the works through the companies’ multi-film deal that sees Blumhouse reimagine Lionsgate’s horror classics. While speaking at CinemaCon, Lionsgate film boss Adam Fogelson teased “a new vision for Blair Witch that will reintroduce this horror classic for a new generation.”
