The cast of The Blair Witch Project released a joint statement detailing what they would like to see from Lionsgate in light of the recently announced news of a Blair Witch reboot. Joshua Leonard, Michael C. Williams, and Rei Hance (formerly Heather Donahue), who starred in the original film back in 1999, released an open letter to the company via Instagram on April 20, 2024, just nine days after a post from Leonard went viral.
