Now, a fourth film is in development, with Roy Lee, director of the 2016 ‘Blair Witch,’ set to return to the director’s chair.

This revival marks the beginning of an exciting partnership between Lionsgate and Blumhouse, as they embark on a journey to reimagine some of the horror classics that have left audiences on the edge of their seats. Fogelson and Blum shared the news during Lionsgate’s CinemaCon presentation in Las Vegas, expressing their enthusiasm for the project.

Fogelson praised Blumhouse’s expertise in the genre, highlighting their track record of delivering spine-chilling experiences: “There is no one better at this genre than the team at Blumhouse. We are thrilled to kick this partnership off with a new vision for Blair Witch that will reintroduce this horror classic for a new generation.”

Blum echoed Fogelson’s sentiments, acknowledging the pivotal role that ‘The Blair Witch Project’ played in shaping his career: “I don’t think there would have been a Paranormal Activity had there not first been a ‘Blair Witch,’ so this feels like a truly special opportunity and I’m excited to see where it leads.”
