The original cast of ‘The Blair Witch Project’ (1999) is demanding retroactive and future residual payments, meaningful consultation on future projects, and the creation of a ‘Blair Witch Grant’ from Lionsgate. The actors claim they never saw any additional revenue after their original $300,000 payout despite the film’s success and multiple sequels. They also criticize Lionsgate for rebooting the franchise without their creative input.
