This has been posted on Instagram by DawnoftheDiscs regarding The Blair Witch Project and Second Sights release.
"Producer Michael Monello has stated that Second Sight will be releasing an edition of "The Blair Witch Project" (1999) that "represents the filmmakers complete vision for the film'" and that it is currently slated for an October release and also that:
'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. Now that we have an actual filmmaker and producer approved version coming out, I think l've earned the right to dump on a release of the transfer that Artisan did without consulting us.
This release does not represent how we, the producers and filmmakers, want the film to be seen, full-stop.
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."
