Still wants to do his prequel
“Blair Witch” co-creator Dan Myrick has been trying to get a third instalment in the series off the ground for, well, years.
Today, he chatted to Bloody Disgusting about where it’s at.
“We have a prequel idea, we even have a sequel idea, and we would like to explore the mythology one of these days. Lion’s Gate owns the rights to it right now, one of these days when they are prepared to get behind it; we’re prepared to shoot it. It’s all a matter of the money guys.”
The prequel idea “isn’t realizing any manifestation of the witch itself, it just delves into the mythology of the witch itself. How the legend got started, and arguably whether it was true or not,” he continues, “I think it’s important to always maintain that ambiguity, whether the legend is a supernatural force in the woods, or if it is all in people’s minds. I think most boogeymen are just that, a little bit of both. What is Bigfoot really? Is it a bear, is it an eight-foot monster roaming the badlands…..for me the prequel would be an exploration of the start of the legend, the whole back-story, and would give people an idea of where all that mythology took root and why. I think that would be cool.”
