Blair Witch" Originals Demand Fair Pay for Reboot
  • The original cast and filmmakers of 'The Blair Witch Project' are seeking fair compensation and input on a newly announced reboot.

  • They claim their payment was disproportionately low compared to the film's $250 million gross earnings, having received only thousands.

  • Joshua Leonard led the group in an open letter, emphasizing their ongoing connection to the franchise.

  • The reboot plans by Lionsgate and Blumhouse were made without prior knowledge or consultation of the original team.

  • The demands include retroactive pay, future residuals, creative consultation, and an annual $60,000 fund from Lionsgate for supporting new filmmakers.

  • Lionsgate has yet to formally address the compensation and consultation requests.
