Blair Witch Star Heather Donahue Says She Isn't Involved in Reboot

The Blair Witch Project's lo-fi, found-footage approach made its unknown leads inseparable from the film's success. Joshua Leonard, Michael C. Williams and Heather Donahue struggled to find significant work afterward, and Donahue ultimately left Hollywood to pursue a new career.

Donahue took to Facebook to clarify she is not participating in the upcoming reboot: "There’s seems to be some willful confusion about my involvement with the reboot, given the use of my image and the quote above from James Wan. I want to clarify that I am not participating.

I was offered an agreement that, for me personally, raised difficult long-term questions about rights, future technological use of identity and voice, the ability to speak freely, and compensation. Ultimately, it just wasn’t something I felt comfortable signing.
