Lionsgate Looking to Relaunch ‘Blair Witch Project’ Franchise
It appears that Lionsgate is looking into bringing back one of their classic horror franchises.
According to The Ankler’s Jeff Sneider, Lionsgate is reportedly looking to relaunch the ‘Blair Witch Project’ franchise. The last film entry in the franchise was released six years ago and had a short and forgettable run at the box office.
Sneider followed up on Twitter with the following: “Start prepping those pitches, genre scribes, because it sounds like Lionsgate is ready to venture back into the woods again for another BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, since good IP is never truly dead in the Streaming Age…”
Original creators Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez haven’t been involved with any of the projects following the original, despite offering a number of ideas. It will be interesting to see if Lionsgate brings them back for the reboot.
A brand new clip has dropped for Taneli Mustonen’s new horror ‘The Twin’ which is set to arrive on the Shudder streaming platform, in theaters, on VOD, and on digital next week on May 6th, 2022.
Starring Teresa Palmer, Steven Cree, and Barbara Marten, the film tells the story of: “Following the aftermath of a tragic accident that claimed the life of one of their twins, Rachel (Palmer, “A Discovery of Witches,” Warm Bodies) and husband Anthony (Steven Cree, “A Discovery of Witches,” “Outlander”) relocate to the other side of the world with their surviving son in the hopes of building a new life. What begins as a time of healing in the quiet Scandinavian countryside soon takes an ominous turn when Rachel begins to unravel the torturous truth about her son and confronts the malicious forces attempting to take a hold of him.”

‘A Quiet Place: Day One’ has been officially announced as the title of the third entry, and a spinoff, in the popular horror franchise, during Paramount’s presentation at the CinemaCon event taking place this week.
Following a delay, the film is currently scheduled to hit theaters on September 23rd, 2023 and will apparently serve as a prequel to the first two movies.
The third installment will see John Krasinski produce alongside Michael Bay, Andrew Form, and Brad Fuller
According to Deadline: “The hope is this film would help set up a potential Quiet Place universe that the studio can build on for years to come. It is also known that, while not out of the question, Emily Blunt and Krasinski likely would not reprise their roles in this installment.”
The second trailer for ‘Jurassic World Dominion’ arrived during Universal’s presentation at CinemaCon which is taking place this week. The blockbuster movie is scheduled to arrive in theaters on June 10th.
“This summer, experience the epic conclusion to the Jurassic era as two generations unite for the first time. Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are joined by Oscar®-winner Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum and Sam Neill in Jurassic World Dominion, a bold, timely and breathtaking new adventure that spans the globe.”
