How to you keep the fact that you are making a sequel to The Blair Witch Project? You call the name The Woods and keep everyone in the dark.
Blair Witch
That is exactly what director Adam Wingard has done with his latest horror film project. It was announced at Comic-Con that The Woods was actually going to be called Blair Witch and was a sequel to the 1999 horror movie.
Wingard has brought us movies such as A Horrible Way to Die and You're Next and this is his first feature film since The Guest back in 2014.
Not only was the new title for the film unveiled at Comic-Con, but a brand new trailer was released as well. Take a look:
James Allen McCune, Brandon Scott, Corbin Reid, Callie Hernandez, Wes Robinson, and Valorie Curry take on the central roles in what will be the horror event of the autumn.
It's been 20 years since James's sister and her two friends vanished into the Black Hills Forest in Maryland while researching the legend of the Blair Witch, leaving a trail of theories and suspicions in their wake. James (McCune) and his friends Peter (Scott), Ashley (Reid) and film student Lisa (Hernandez) venture into the same woods each with a camera to uncover the mysteries surrounding their disappearance.
At first, the group is hopeful, especially when a pair of locals Lane (Robinson) and Talia (Curry) offer to act as guides through the dark and winding woods. But as the endless night wears on, the group is visited by a menacing presence.
Slowly, they begin to realize the legend is all too real and more sinister than they could have imagined.
Blair Witch is released 16th September.
