Yes, that is Mrs Myrick. Wonder why Dan M never attends these things?
It's not up to Ed and Dan. Lionsgate owns everything Blair and nothing gets made without a green light from them. They've been pitching sequel ideas to LG for years now. So I for one was surprised when BW16 even happened.

"Library of Congress" Hopefully, this means Blair Witch gets added to the film registry this year.

An expensive proposition I'm sure. You know that Blair $$$ is long gone, right? While Ed and Dan have done good works post-Blair, there are no $250 million blockbusters among them. LG ain't gonna let it go cheap. If they would at all.

Lionsgate worked with Haxan a lot in the 00's on a new film and it never got far. A few scripts here or there and it all came down to $$. With BW '16 not making the money they wanted i doubt they're gonna bring Haxan back on to go forward with a new film. As much I'd want that and the legions of fans it sucks that its always money. Plus they are working on other things and if they did come on it would have to be the right story for them to tell and i doubt LG would give them full creative control over the film.

IT's a nice piece he wrote, glad to see some love from the film. he interviewed me and my wife for the article.

With BW '16 not making the money they wanted i doubt they're gonna bring Haxan back on to go forward with a new film. Really? And why's that? Did Haxan control BW16? Everything, and I mean everything, that the rest of us outsiders know literally says: NO. So the very FACT that Haxan didn't have enough involvement could end up pointing in the opposite direction later. Understand? I still believe. Faith reborn. No one can say "it can't and never will happen." Can't? Absolutely no such thing in this wretched world. Will never happen? Also no such thing. You . Never . Really . Know. So have faith my son. They had input along the way but ultimately they weren't the ones running the production so they did provide notes and stuff but LG left it to Adam and Simon and i enjoy the hell out of those 2 guys and i'm proud of the work they did. I have faith but i'm also a realist, if it were to happen it would have by now i believe that to be as true as you can get in that regards. Blair Witch isn't a franchise style film so trying to create on theatrically is problematic but if and that is if, its done right it can be a good film or two's worth of content but it has to be done at the right time for the right reasons.

I understand. You have lost all faith. Good time to throw in that towel. No shame involved. LOL. my faith is placed in what i've seen over the last 15 years or so. there's not much faith in hollywood anymore and LG has too tight a hold on the property to let anyone else have a crack at it.

And my faith in this situation is also based on the last 18 years. Believe it or not you're not the only major fan. Hey, never mind. Let's just let this die right now. You win you're right. It's over nah I enjoy it debate and conversation is what keeps me coming here. I'm with you, i want more but I guess i've just seen a lot with friends in the industry trying to get stuff done and all the articles after BW 16 focused on how much it didn't make so its hard to not see it as that being the main driving force for LG. I don't want to be the only major fan nor do i need to be, its definitely about getting the fans the best BWP content there is. If there was no more, i'm more than satisfied with what we have in terms of films, books, games, tie ins and the like. This month it has gotten a lot of good press and i'd hope that kicks LG in the ass to give us something. Maybe if a new blu ray makes some cash they'll see that fans really do want more and more quality

I really don't want to take a bite out of this but .. Why? The PC games were horrible. The film sequels were both nearly 90% unappreciated. Most of the books are considered to be horrible. Only a couple of novels and comic books have any redeeming love by even the most hardcore fans. And most of all that other stuff isn't even canon. You seem to be saying a lot of things that just don't really make a lot of sense man. And I really don't want to have a debate with you anymore. I was attempting to convey to you that the very fact that Blair Witch 16 wasn't as appreciated as Lionsgate had hoped for could possibly pave the way for further Haxan involvement in the future. But you have already locked the gate on that possibility so our discussion needs to be over as far as I'm concerned. Sorry, but I'm actually trying to end this on a peaceful note. I've had no issues with anything youve said and if you have a problem with mine I don't know what to say. I was enjoying the conversation, regardless if our points differ i've enjoyed it. BWP wasn't meant to be a franchise and it got more than what was envisioned and thats a good thing but also a bad. Properties are built around things now that really weren't meant to be (the matrix sequels for one). We got more than what we ever expected from the first film and to me that doesn't diminish anything about the original film except maybe the possibility of more if new entires don't perform. I, like i said before, would love Haxan to be involved but my opinion of that wont sway anyone at haxan and you seem to take that as I wouldn't be supportive (i could be wrong) but i support those guys in everything they do and would gladly love them to come back to Blair and knock it out of the park. If we can't talk and agree or disagree on anything peacefully (which we've done like i said I've been enjoying it) then i don't know what we are doing on the board in 2017. My opinions are mine alone and i only speak for me. Some agree and some don't and i'm ok with that.

There are about exactly four separate mythology prequels that could be hatched if each mythology prequel was hatched properly. And you cannot tell me that it wouldn't work because we already know that one of the co-producers and Ed Sanchez had that in mind originally from this brand new panel.. But I already knew long before this panel from two nights ago or whatever that the prequel mythology was in the minds. It's amazing that Lionsgate never cared. Exactly, i'd love a prequel and i know they had a bunch of ideas in mind. Its funny how a lot of their ideas (not directly) to me showed up in The VVitch and that would have been the perfect setting for a story to take place. I think prequels, esp period pieces, are hard to market. I loved the hell out of The VVitch and starting there w Elly's story in Blair and continuing up through and ending w/ Rustin Parr I think would be where they needed to focus. The bean counters at LG must think otherwise and esp after BOS i was disappointed that around 04 they didn't go back to them and just say here ya go, have at it.

The 4 mythology prequels would simply need to be released in reverse timeline order. Each film would answer previous questions while leaving new questions for the next film. It all ends with the final (4th) prequel film set in the township of Blair in 1785. Yes .. The Tale of Elly Kedward. And once film #4 is viewed the ending of the original 1999 film is finally laid bare with less mystery involved. As a gift to the long time fans. Full circle. Damn the Lion's Gate! Now that would be something to do! Like a Memento style film but the whole series. Reverse or not those would need to be made. Maybe if the TV series comes to fruition they could tackle those stories.

I wouldn't mind seeing the comics done as a short series. Or something along the lines of the Blair Witch Files books (with better writing). Stories set in the same universe but not necessarily tied directly to the films.
