Blair Witch, will follow in the footsteps of the horror classic by being another found footage movie, yet with a more modern feel. It stars James Allen McCune as the brother of Heather Donahue’s character from the original, who sets out to discover what happened to his long-missing sister after seeing a mysterious video on Youtube.
Shot in a veil of secrecy in Vancouver last year with the working title The Woods, Blair With is directed by Adam Wingard and written by Simon Barrett (You’re Next, The Guest).

I wonder if the woods was meant to be its own movie but when it was sold was rebranded as a blair witch movie to try and capitalize on the concepts of franchises and recognizable titles?
