The directors and producers of The Blair Witch Project have given the actors their public support. Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez, the film’s co-directors, along with all of the producers on the original film released a statement encouraging Lionsgate to make a deal with the cast. This statement pointed out the unique contributions made by the actors and called for them to be celebrated and compensated.
It remains to be seen whether Lionsgate will accept the request of the actors or not. With the reboot coming up it would generate positive publicity for the franchise and the company. Whether they fulfill the requests or not, there’s no denying that without Donahue, Williams, and Leonard the Bliar Witch universe as we know it wouldn’t exist.
