Myrick talks Blair Witch 3

It’s probably no closer to happening than what it was a few years back, when they actually pitched it to the studio and got knocked back, but “Blair Witch Project” creators Dan Myrick and Ed Sanchez are still determined to get a second sequel up to their indy-film phenomenon.

”Myself and the producer, Gregg Hale, have been talking and revisiting the idea behind a prequel that explores the original story and mythology of Blair Witch folklore”, Myrick tells Showbiz Spy. “Ultimately the decision is up to Lionsgate, which owns the rights to the project and whether or not they want to take the leap with us. But we’re developing some ideas and exploring some storylines that we like, and checking out some locations. We’d like to do one. It would be great.”

The original “Blair Witch”, released in 1999, cost $22,000 and went on to make an amazing $248,639,099. The film celebrates its tenth anniversary this year.
