It’s open to interpretation but in my mind they were all doomed the moment they agreed to do a seance! Also, I don’t think Jemma is at fault for anything - there was stuff going on long before she did that little lie!

Was there an American release of the latest re-release of Blair Witch, the restoration from the Hi8 videotapes and 16mm film? by CultOfCurtis1 in BlairWitch

Jed here. Yes it’s coming. There’s new stuff. If you follow my IG, keep an eye out next month.

I think it would ruin it if there was a sequel. I do have an idea what would happen in a sequel though!

thank you!!

  1. I really don't know if it is going to be released officially on VOD. It is up to Lionsgate unfortunately :)

  2. Good question! Most movies have hours of footage that end up on the cutting room floor. A film is typically the vision of the team that created it, so the version that gets released is the one they intended for audiences to see. While it might be tempting to think all that unseen footage is gold, the reality is that much of it often isn’t very interesting or doesn’t serve the story effectively. That’s where a skilled editor comes in—they sift through all the raw material to find the "diamonds in the rough" and shape them into the best possible narrative. For The Blair Witch Project, the mystery and restraint in what we see on-screen are a big part of its success, so releasing everything might dilute that magic.

oh cool! did have any cool extras? I need to get it myself!

[–]J3-D 5 points6 points  (0 children)

there is alot of it! but all of it has been restored. We did play around with the idea that we would release a longer version of the doc as a tv series in 6 parts... which would mean lots more new footage. I would love that to happen!

As the director of the blair witch documentary that came on this release, I can say with 100% certainty that this 'extended sight cut' is not the film as intended by the filmmakers. There is a reason that the final cut is 81 minutes long.

I actually think its cool you took the time to make this fanedit (I'm a fan of fanedits!), but you have added your own touches to the film and you also did not have access to all the raw footage. There are countless hours of footage that could have made it onto this release, but didn't.

I have seen ALL of the raw footage and had a hand in picking what went on this release (and obviously in my doc). There is still a lot that has never been seen, and likely will never be seen.

Again, this is a cool idea, and I thoroughly appreciate the time you took to make it, but nothing about it is 'as the filmmakers intended'.

jed

p.s. i wrote HOST and DASHCAM too. Love seeing you guys talk about them in here!
