'Blair Witch Project' Actor Joshua Leonard Slams Reboot, Calls It 'Icky and Classless'

The actor shared a laundry list of ways the studio has disrespected the cast and crew to his Instagram over the weekend.

But at this point, it’s 25 years of disrespect from the folks who’ve pocketed the lion’s share (pun intended) of the profits from OUR work, and that feels both icky and classless," Leonard wrote. It was at CinemaCon in Las Vegas just last week that Lionsgate announced that horror mastermind Jason Blum and Roy Lee -- producer of the 2016 film Blair Witch-- will come together to make a new version of the movie for the franchise. In a release, Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson said the creative team is "thrilled to kick this partnership off with a new vision for Blair Witch that will reintroduce this horror classic for a new generation."
