Heather Donahue Rejects Blair Witch Remake
from Entertainment & Celebrity News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Heather Donahue, the original star of The Blair Witch Project, is refusing to participate in the upcoming remake — despite producer James Wan’s claim that the entire original cast is on board. After the 1999 cult classic’s massive success and her subsequent lawsuit that netted her $300K, Donahue stepped away from Hollywood, changed her name, and now lives a quiet life growing medical marijuana in rural Maine. She’s made it clear that preserving her autonomy matters more than fame — making her the only original cast member not involved. The remake, directed by Dylan Clark and set for a 2027 release, will be executive-produced by the film’s original creators and co-stars, as Blumhouse and Lionsgate aim to reintroduce the found-footage horror pioneer to a new generation.
