I'm surprised I didn't hear about a new horror film coming out of Glasgow, especially when I'm an hour away in Edinburgh, but it took a US site to alert me to the fact that a new horror film in production in Glasgow is looking to remake The Blair Witch Project.

According to the report this is a remake about three film-makers who set out to film a documentary about a local legend, and from there we're going to see something akin to Blair Witch, but with Scottish accents.

There's nothing more on it, and to get the full story I'd have to join the site and find out the details. Anyone else a member of a casting site like this that could get hold of the full blurb? Mind you it seems there's not much more to be had at the moment.

A Scottish remake of The Blair Witch Project from director Stacy Hopkins? Well we have the countryside and the legends to go along with it, as well as plenty of spooky old castles - filming in Slains Castle perchance?
