The Blair Witch Project reboot to hit screens September 24, 2027

Nearly three decades after three film students vanished in a Maryland forest, leaving only a video camera as a witness, their story is returning to the big screen. Lionsgate announced a new version of "The Blair Witch Project," a film that forever changed the horror genre.

While plot details remain scarce, Lionsgate studio president Adam Fogelson stated the reboot aims to introduce the classic to new generations. Released in 1999, "The Blair Witch Project" pioneered the now-popular found-footage genre. The film followed three college students investigating a local witch legend in the woods, only to disappear, with their terrifying experiences captured on tape.

With a budget under $60,000, the film's rumored real-life basis propelled it to a $250 million worldwide box office gross, cementing its status as a major independent success. The reboot is directed by Dylan Clark and involves the original film's creators and cast. This is not the first attempt to revisit the Maryland witch legend; a sequel was released in 2000 and another installment in 2016, neither achieving the original's success. The remake is scheduled to hit theaters on September 24, 2027.
