A couple of years ago, just about a month prior to the release of Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, I was down in Indianapolis for the big Star Wars convention known as Celebrations 2 which is actually run by LucasFilm (Celebrations 3 will be in April). Anyway, I was there with a friend of mine screening our short film "Rise of the Tradiz" (shameless self plug there).

My second night there I ran into Ed Sanchez, the creator and director of the mega hit "The Blair Witch Project" (that's him with me in the picture). We chatted for a while about the film, the huge disappointment Blair Witch 2 was (which Ed did NOT direct) and if he'll ever do a Blair Witch 3. Ed told me at the time that BW3 would be something he's consider... but there would be a lot of "ifs" to that.

Ed has been out of the spotlight for a few years, but now the good folks over at JoBlo are reporting that Ed is putting on the director's hat once again... and once again it's for a horror, but it's not BW3. This is what they had to say:

Eduardo Sanchez -- the man who along with Daniel Myrick was behind the marketing extravaganza -- announces that he has, in fact, signed to direct his next feature, and that it is, in fact, yet another horror movie. The better news is that his budget won't consist of hairnets and bubblegum this time around, and that he will actually be starting the shoot at Universal Studios in May, and that he is casting the movie right now. You can read all about it, in his own words, over at the Haxan Films website, but basically, he's not saying much about the movie right now, other than that it's a horror flick entitled PROBED featuring a monster...
