In July of 1999 they were a crucial part of a film that lit up the box office, challenged the rules of conventional story telling, and impacted culture all over the world. 25 years later their true story is told. THE MOVIE CRYPTâs special roundtable series continues with this fascinating, heartbreaking, and inspiring conversation with actors Joshua Leonard and Michael Williams from THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT - one of the most profitable indie films ever made. Though this roundtable was originally being developed to discuss the taboo subject of âHollywood Accounting,â the focus sharpened after Adam Green found himself at a front row seat to a very candid, honest and private conversation between the BLAIR WITCH cast and co-director Eduardo Sanchez last March in Cincinnati. Shortly after that night, actor Joshua Leonard came to the decision to speak up publicly on social media for the first time about what the experience of being such a significant part of THE BLAIR WITCH phenomenon has REALLY been like.
For 11+ years of doing this weekly podcast youâve likely heard the phrase âunless your film makes BLAIR WITCH money youâll never see the backend that youâve earnedâ at least a dozen times or more. This conversation shatters that myth and peels back the curtain on a system that is in need of more transparency and fairness.
As with all of our special roundtable episodes, this episode is being released publicly in its entirety. Read Joshua Leonard, Michael Williams, and Heather Donahueâs interview with VARIETY here: https://variety.com/2024/film/news/blair-witch-project-cast-robbed-financial-success-1236033647/
