Lionsgate announces a new film in the “Blair Witch Project” franchise with a theatrical release date of September 24, 2027. Multiple outlets report the date has been officially set after being revealed publicly via a social-media/cryptic video. The project is described as a reboot or new take on the 1999 supernatural horror film, though no plot or story details have been released. Variety and others note that Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson previously characterized the movie as a “new vision,” but the company has not provided additional specifics about what that vision entails. Polygon also reports that the film is directed by a filmmaker with a background creating YouTube horror short content who has transitioned to feature filmmaking. Overall, coverage aligns on the release timing, Lionsgate’s role in backing the reboot, and the lack of confirmed narrative information as of now.
