At CinemaCon 2024, Lionsgate and Blumhouse announced a planned remake of 1999’s viral breakout horror movie The Blair Witch Project, the film that launched a mega-wave of found-footage horror movies and redefined viral marketing. The announcement came with few details, apart from promising a “new take” on the franchise. Two years later, the studios have announced who’ll be helming that new take: first-time feature filmmaker Dylan Clark, who’s earned a huge following for his short horror films on YouTube.
