While an official synopsis for the Blair Witch Project reboot is being kept under wraps, the first plot details have surfaced.

According to Deadline, “it will deal with a family that goes on a camping trip but goes missing one by one after they hear strange noises in the forest.”

Not a whole lot to go on, but it’s a start. Stay tuned for more information as we learn it.

Dylan Clark (Portrait of God) is set to direct the new take on the seminal found footage horror from a script he’s rewriting from Chris Devlin.

Blumhouse’s Jason Blum and Atomic Monster‘s James Wan are producing with Roy Lee and Divide/Conquer’s Adam Hendricks & Greg Gilreath.

Original Blair Witch Project filmmakers Eduardo Sánchez and Daniel Myrick, producer Gregg Hale, and stars Joshua Leonard and Michael C. Williams will executive produce alongside Steven Schneider, Michael Clear, and Judson Scott.

“It’s not a ‘remake,'” Williams recently teased of the project. “You just wait.”

Lionsgate is lining up filming for the fall with a reported budget in the $10 million range.

1999’s The Blair Witch Project followed three film students who vanish in the Maryland woods while shooting a documentary on a local legend, leaving only their footage behind. Produced for around $60,000, it earned $248.6 million globally.
