The Blair Witch Project has a capital importance for the cinema of the 2000s. Done with pieces of string, it has reported enormous sums, reopening the path of the found-footage for the decade to come. Because without him, no Paranormal Activity and other stuff.

The younger of you may not know what shock was The Blair Witch Project was released in cinema in 1999. At the time, we were in the infancy of the internet public, we learned to master, which results in a confusion quite important in our report to the media in which the film was able to capitalize brilliantly managing to make us believe that his hero had really disappeared. By creating a large mythology in the upstream side, the film has managed to create the event, which has not wavered at the time of its release, ensuring a successful giant.

Then of course, there was the following insipid, Blair Witch 2 : book of shadows and the years following we have given the Paranormal Activity, built on the same model, and have somewhat eclipsed the franchise. In 2016, Adam Wingard had released Blair Witch, a suite of late, but the result was so catastrophic that we prefer to forget. However, the brand is not dead for as much as she may soon return in a new form.

According to the website Deadline, the studio Lionsgate has just opened a branch called Studio L, and exclusively devoted to the creation of works intended for a teen audience (or young adults) and focused on the digital platforms. In its cartons, we already noted the presence of three independent feature films, of which one knows nothing at the moment but that will be released in the spring. But of course, this which interests us all, it is the rumor that a tv series adapted from the Blair Witch Project is currently in development.

The state of the project is unknown, but it is recalled that a few months ago, the co-director of the original film, Eduardo Sanchez, was already talking about a potential series without giving more details, however. It would seem that he was speaking of this particular project. Of course, it should not expect to learn all the details of what is in store for us before the broadcast of the show, even if one can legitimately think that we will have to deal with a reboot.

In any case, the Blair witch seems more in shape than ever and since it is his dads that deal with his return, we can be a little confident and eager. In the wait to discover more.
