There has been some speculation that Adam Wingard's new horror film "The Woods" was actually a secret sequel to the Blair Witch Project, and now we know that this is true!
The first screening is happening at Comic-Con now, but news has broken that the film is actually titled 'Blair Witch', and there's a new trailer:

This article is really interesting too. Lots of insight into the creation of this, and keeping it secret:

The trailer looks really cool, and seems to ignore the second film. Seems like a cool way to continue the story too. Can't wait to see it when it comes out this September!
EDIT: Here's the original trailer, when it was under the title 'The Woods': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMEgSLetjHw
We found some quick glimpses at some stick figures hanging in the trees, which informed the bulk of our speculation in the last thread.

ew.com said:Titled, simply, Blair Witch, the found footage movie stars James Allen McCune (Showtime’s Shameless) as the brother of Heather Donahue’s character from the original 1999 horror film, who sets out to discover what happened to his long-missing sister.
Blair Witch is directed by Adam Wingard and written by Simon Barrett, whose previous collaborations include 2013’s home invasion horror-comedy You’re Next and the following year’s Dan Stevens-starring action-thriller The Guest. The film was shot secretly in Vancouver last year but has actually been hiding in plain sight under the name of The Woods. In May, Lionsgate released a trailer for “The Woods,” which featured footage from the film accompanied by a creepy cover of The Police’s “Every Breath You Take.” Blair Witch is being publicly shown Friday for the first time at Comic-Con in San Diego at an event which has been billed as a screening for The Woods.
