The Blair Witch Project Producer Announces a Blu-ray Release of the ‘Complete’ Movie By producer Michael Monello has stated a new Blu-ray edition of the film that will restore the filmmaker’s complete vision is on the way from Second Sight. While The Blair Witch Project and its sequel will be released as a double pack from Imprint later this year, it is thought to be based on the same old transfer. It’s a subject that Monello is understandably quite riled up about.
The Blair Witch Project to be complete once more “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,” Monello said. “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.
“ Monello continued by laying out what would be featured in the Second Sight version of the film. “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 trans.
