A couple of months ago, I brought you some non-earth-shattering news regarding the next step (or lack thereof) in the BLAIR WITCH PROJECT universe. And now I bring you… more of the same…
Eduardo Sanchez and Dan Myrick are talking up the status of the BLAIR WITCH sequel (which of course would be the legitimate follow-up to the 1999 blockbuster), and although it doesn’t seem anywhere close to being green-lit, it sounds as though the duo are excited about what might be.
“We’ve been working on an idea and it’s a concept that we like a lot,” Myrick tells Bloody Disgusting . “I can’t say anything about it now. Ed and I feel that the timing is right and enough time has gone by that the backlash to BLAIR WITCH has kind of subsided and a new generation of kids are out to embrace a BLAIR WITCH franchise on the merits of the movie itself rather than it trying to live up or be what the first film was, which it never will be.
Sanchez adds that they should know soon whether or not this flick will ever happen. “I don’t know how we’re going to release the story or whatever, but something’s probably going to happen by the end of the year where we’ll either say, ‘No, it’s not going to happen’ or hopefully, ‘Yes, it’s gonna happen.’ But the news is coming soon.”
