A Peek at How ‘Blair Witch’s’ Leads Were Directed
Love it or hate it, The Blair Witch Project changed everything. 15 years later, Eduardo Sanchez and Daniel Myrick’s film continues to fascinate horror fans and general audience’s alike. I was able to interview them last year and was shocked to learn that despite the fan heavy attention/obsession with the film, there are still tidbits we don’t know.
Thankfully, FrightFest Glasgow is set to premiere the long-awaited making-of documentary about the film, but until then, here’s an awesome bit of ephemera posted by cast member Josh Leonard on his Facebook, which was then posted on the Blair Witch fan group. In my interview, Sanchez and Myrick explained their unique directing style, which was as bare bones and esoteric as it gets. In the directing note below, we get a solid taste of what the filmmakers put Josh, Heather, and Mike though.

Ryan Gosling (Project Hail Mary) has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to play Ghost Rider in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and it’s now officially happening.
Announced by Marvel out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Ryan Gosling will play the iconic Marvel character in a Ghost Rider movie being directed by Shawn Levy!
Expect Ryan Gosling to play Ghost Rider on the big screen in 2028.
Johnny Blaze is of course the most iconic and well-known Ghost Rider, selling his soul to Satan and becoming a supernatural badass. Nicolas Cage brought Blaze to life on screen in both 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Gabriel Luna more recently played the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider in the series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Luna was set to star in his own Ghost Rider spinoff series in the wake of that small screen appearance, but that Hulu project ended up being squashed before it ever had a chance.
Fans have been waiting for Ghost Rider to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years now, with Ryan Gosling making it clear that he’d love to bring the character back to life.
That Hollywood dream is coming true. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
