I'd actually love to see this turned into a documentary. The only beef I had with it was the lack of Heather's involvement. While I can understand why she wanted to distance herself from the movie,I'd love to hear more of her thoughts.

i did this because there were no plans for a doc. I'd love them to do one and I can help with the topics, to me its the best thing we'll probably get.
Her lack of involvement wasn't for a lack of trying, i tried over the course of 4 years and the only time she acknowledged the project was when i got her permission to use her image in some of the photos. Figured it was the right thing to do to assure her it was not a tabloid project.

I know she had a few bad experiences due to being in the film and I'm sure it can get a little annoying having people only identify you from the movie. So,in a way I get her wanting to distance herself from it. But,I'll admit that it does frustrate me how she acts sometimes.

Can't really blame her. Her post-Blair experience was largely negative. I never understood that, by the way.

Well,as a fan of her and the movie I'm just being selfish in wanting her to embrace it all. lol That annoyed me as well,how badly she was treated at times. There are plenty or movies or performances that I'm not crazy about,but I wouldn't go up to an actor and berate them or anything for it. I realize it's a movie and a performance. So people out there can't separate an actor from a movie,I suppose.

Question for you Matt. Who was the hardest person to get an interview with for the book? The person that was the hardest to that i did finally get: Jeff Johnsen, took us years to get a time, was friends on FB for quite a few years until i cornered him. The person that was hardest to pin down that i didn't get to interview: Amorette Jones, she did marketing for Artisan, same as before but never could get her to commit to a time where she'd be around

So I finally got my copy of the book and read it. Good stuff, Matt. Now I know two more filming locations, the houses that were supposed to be Heather's and Mike's at the beginning of the film. Even more fun is that I didn't realize when I moved here a little over a year ago that I live about five or six blocks from "Heather's" house ("This is my home..."). Kind of puts this picture in a bit spookier perspective: www.flickr.com/photos/flyinginthepark/48844816587/

It's a really great book! The Blair Witch community finally has their bible.

I think my biggest complaint about the book is the lack of documentation on Tom Cruise's involvement with the franchise.
