This film, the second followup to the cult hit of 1999, is a prequel to the events of the first two BW films. The story, which is "in development," will reportedly go into the history of the Blair Witch, detailing events in the nineteenth century related to the legend. It will be directed by Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez, creators of the series and directors of the first movie.
Release date: Autumn 2002
Directors: Daniel Myrick, Eduardo Sanchez

February 7, 2002: According to The Hollywood Reporter, despite Blair Witch 2's relative lack of success, progress on Blair Witch 3 has begun. Myrick and Sanchez want to make the film, and Artisan is behind their efforts. An autumn 2002 release date has been tossed about, but we'll see.
Early 2000: This is one I'm looking forward to. I'd love to see a more conventionally (that's a description, not a derision) told story about the events leading up to Elly Kedward first becoming the Witch. Kind of a pumped up Crucible (far be it for me to compare BW directly to Miller's classic, mind you). Should be interesting!

This was released after, but acts as a prequel to, The Blair Witch Project and Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2.
