From “Dawn of the Discs” FB page:
Producer Michael Monello has stated that Second Sight will be releasing an edition of “The Blair Witch Project” (1999) that “represents the filmmakers complete vision for the film” and that it is currently slated for an October release and also that:
“For 25 years, Artisan/Lions Gate have been content to put out a version of this film that is NOT how the filmmakers intended it to look, with broken motion and film grain over video. Now that we have an actual filmmaker and producer approved version coming out, I think I’ve earned the right to dump on a release of the transfer that Artisan did without consulting us.
“If they want to cash grab dump it in the market I can’t stop them, but I’m not going to shut up about something I worked so hard on being released with a shoddy transfer and the same old extras.
”It hasn’t been announced yet, but there is a NEW version of the original film coming out in October with exclusive new content. and for the first time ever the film will look the way it was intended to from the beginning. Back in 1999, Artisan never consulted us on the transfer and they... I believe the technical term is “Rohauer* it all up” and neither they or Lions Gate ever fixed it. Not even for the Blu-Ray release. The version coming will stand as the only version that represents the filmmakers complete vision for the film.”
MORE INFO TBA SOON
