On Tuesday, March 30 Lions Gate received the treatment for the proposed prequel to THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. The news was issued by the official Haxan Films website and by the creators that brought us the first BLAIR WITCH film.

"We sent out the treatment for the BLAIR WITCH PREQUEL to LION'S GATE yesterday," wrote Eduardo Sanchez, co-director on THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT on the Haxan website. "9 pages of dark-ass horror set in 1786 about the origin of the legend. Good shit. We're all pretty happy with the way it turned out and think that it'll make a really scary script and film. The townspeople of BLAIR really get hammered in this one. It's brutal but hell...they all deserve it for what they do to Elly.

"Now it's in LION'S GATE'S hands. We're really hoping they dig it."
