Blair Witch Actor Slams '25 Years of Disrespect' as New Reboot Is Announced: 'Feels Both Icky and Classless'
Joshua Leonard, an actor who starred in 1999's 'The Blair Witch Project,' is speaking out about his compensation for the hit original film. He said 'money isn't the point,' rather 'it’s about human decency.'
Joshua Leonard, who starred in the original found-footage horror movie alongside Heather Donahue and Michael C. Williams, shared a post on social media April 11 expressing "frustration" over the reboot and saying he didn't know about the new project until after it made headlines last week. 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." "I’m a huge admirer of The Blair Witch Project, which brought the idea of found-footage horror to mainstream audiences and became a true cultural phenomenon," Blum said in a statement last week.
