Found footage franchise The Blair Witch Project is coming back to life with a new movie, but when we can expect it? In a chat with Indiewire this week, producer Jason Blum teases that the new Paranormal Activity and Blair Witch Project movies are both planning 2027 releases.
Blum notes, “They’re both coming out next year. Blair Witch and Paranormal.”
As we’ve already reported, the new Paranormal Activity movie already has a date. From director Ian Tuason (Undertone), the new installment will release in theaters May 21, 2027.
This is the first we’re hearing about Blair Witch‘s 2027 plans. Stay tune for more.
Dylan Clark (Portrait of God) is set to direct the new take on the seminal found footage horror movie, with the original movie’s filmmakers and cast on board to produce the project.
Original Blair Witch Project filmmakers Eduardo Sánchez and Daniel Myrick, producer Gregg Hale, and stars Joshua Leonard and Michael C. Williams will executive produce.
Producer James Wan tells Indiewire this week, “Getting all the original people that were involved in the original Blair Witch, getting their blessing and getting them involved. That was very important for all of us. We wanted to pay respect to the legacy of it all.”
Blumhouse’s Jason Blum and Atomic Monster‘s James Wan are producing the new Blair Witch Project with Roy Lee and Divide/Conquer’s Adam Hendricks & Greg Gilreath.
According to Deadline, Blair Witch‘s return “will deal with a family that goes on a camping trip but goes missing one by one after they hear strange noises in the forest.”
Much like David F. Sandberg, Curry Barker, and Kane Parsons before him, Dylan Clark was discovered on YouTube after going viral with his horror short Portrait of God. That short is already being expanded into a feature, with Jordan Peele and Sam Raimi producing.
