The Legend Reawakens – September 24, 2027
Lionsgate announced that one of the most influential horror films ever made is heading back into the woods. Lionsgate has officially set September 24, 2027 as the theatrical release date for its new Blair Witch reboot, marking the latest chapter in the franchise that helped define found footage cinema for an entire generation.
The film will be directed by rising horror filmmaker Dylan Clark, with horror powerhouses Blumhouse and Atomic Monster producing. In a major win for longtime fans, original The Blair Witch Project stars Joshua Leonard and Michael C. Williams, along with creators Eduardo Sánchez, Daniel Myrick, and Gregg Hale, have joined the project as executive producers, helping guide the franchise back to its roots.
More than 25 years after the original film terrified audiences and changed independent horror forever, the legend of the Blair Witch is preparing to haunt a new generation. Plot details remain under wraps, but the filmmakers have promised an expansion of the franchise mythology rather than a simple remake.
