Lionsgate Acquires Rights to Distribute Bigfoot Found Footage Pic ‘Exists’

It had to happen. Eventually, someone was going to come up with the idea of a found footage film featuring North America's favourite cryptid, Bigfoot.

According to Variety online "The horror film from “Blair Witch Project” director Eduardo Sánchez and screenwriter Jamie Nash marks Bigfoot’s return to the big screen. The movie, starring Chris Osborn, Dora Madison Burge and Roger Edwards, follows a familiar formula, but adopts a new spin on the Sasquatch myth.

It follows a group of five friends as they struggle to fight off the fabled predator during a camping trip in the remote Texas woods. Viewers took to Twitter following the early morning sold-out screening to write about how petrifying they found the pic." You can read the rest of the story by Clicking Here.

Well, at least its' being done by one of the prime movers of the genre, Eduardo Sánchez, so we expect it won't be cheesy. 

Lionsgate hasn't put a release date to it yet, but we expect the film will be in theatres fairly soon.

Stay tuned for details.
