Assuming there is a Blair Witch 2 (or 3 if you count the evil middle child), what would you like to see?

Maybe not even a film. Perhaps a tv anthology like they've doing with Fargo. 9 or 10 episode story arcs set in the world of the first film. Plenty of material in the BW mythology to draw on. Each season can be a different time period and story. You can cover a lot more in 9 or 10 hours than you can in 90 minutes. Whatever the next thing is, it's time to move away from found footage. It's too common now. Nobody believes they are watching real footage anymore.

They apparently complained in their own DVD commentary that because the movie did "so bad" and few people went to see it in the opening week, the studio shot down a sequel immediately.

They screwed up so much. Releasing it in September. Putting little if any promotion into it. Spending too much money on it, it should have been a 2 million $ film at most. It really drags. There are ridiculously lame jump scares. They didn't explain anything. They blew a number of opportunities.
They did sequel bate. Obviously they were teasing another film where Heather, or someone, was living in that house.
But the worst of all was the alien. It's an alien. Don't try and convince me otherwise. No witch could ever have control of time and relative dimension in space.
So sad.

That's one way to look at it. I enjoyed it, flaws and all. Still a step up from BoS. They were never going to repeat what the first one did. I knew that. Making a sequel to a film that didn't really need one. I'm glad we got something. Imperfect? Yes. But still a fun addition to the series.

I don't think we've seen the last of Ol' Elly. Not that we saw her this time. That wasn't her. |

you say that like the director had any control over when the film was going to be released. maybe he did give suggestions but the studio is the one who did everything after the film was in the can.

There are ridiculously lame jump scares. They didn't explain anything. They blew a number of opportunities. They thought people would lose their minds when The Woods was revealed to be a BWP sequel. Yet no one seemed to care. Why? Was it simply too late? I don't think so. I'd say that they went for the wrong target audience. I am part of generation Y and one of the few who actually saw this movie in 1999. Other young adults my age do not know what the BWP is. They didn't see it back in then as kids, wouldn't watch it now and don't care for a sequel, prequel, reboot or other shenanigans. Those who do know it say how it's a camping, not a horror movie. Moar zombies! Nothing but bad marketing, they should have gone for the older generation. BWP has a cult following. They could have really made this a cash cow, no matter the quality of the movie. I think that essentially no one wanted to go see this... Is a massive blow in and of itself. It's not like it sold like hot cakes and everybody complained afterwards. The audience just didn't care. |

The marketing plan was a fumble. Yes. But I don't fault the filmmakers. I see and appreciate what they were trying to do. Some of it worked and some didn't. I agree that younger audiences have no connection to TBWP and generally didn't care about seeing it.
