The three stars of 1999s The Blair Witch Project are speaking out against film studio Lionsgate as plans for a revival of the era-defining horror classic get underway.

In a wide-ranging interview with Variety , Heather Donahue, Joshua Leonard and Michael C. Williams say theyve missed out on profits from the original movie, which raked in a reported $248 million at the box office worldwide. Given the films then-unique faux documentary conceit, none of the three actors were able to benefit from its unexpected success, and are now seeking residuals and meaningful consultation on future projects that use their names and likenesses.

Im very grateful for what I have now and how fucking hard I fought to get it. But it still impacts me, Williams told the publication. Giant corporations dont care that this happens to young artists. Its bullshit. And thats got to change somehow. Hopefully, we will help somebody to see: Dont do what we did.

Added Leonard: I dont need Lionsgate to like me. I dont care that they know that I think their behavior has been reprehensible. I dont want my daughter to ever feel like anything is more valuable than her self-worth.

The trios remarks come just months after Lionsgate honored the 25th anniversary of The Blair Witch Project by announcing plans for a big-screen revival. The new film will be produced by Jason Blum, whose work includes the Paranormal Activity and Halloween franchises, and is intended to reintroduce this horror classic for a new generation, according to Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson.

Written and directed by Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Snchez, the original Blair Witch Project follows three student filmmakers (played by Donahue, Leonard and Williams) who hike into Marylands Black Hills with the aim of making a documentary about a local myth known as the Blair witch.
