EW.com posted an interesting interview with director Daniel Myrick, the auteur behind THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT.    Myrick discusses the comparisons being made between his first film and the recent phenomenon PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, calling them "flattering," and going on to say, "It’s encouraging to see another film come out that’s in the spirit of the Blair Witch aesthetic. And the marketing approach that’s doing so well reaffirms in my mind that you don’t need to spend a ton of money to have a successful film."

Answering questions, Myrick doles out some advice for the new film's makers, and talks about how everyone knows PARANORMAL is a piece of fiction, whereas plenty of folks thought that BLAIR WITCH was real.

Myrick comes off as a positive guy who appreciates how the newer film is generating buzz for his decade-old blockbuster indie hit.  Read the rest of the interview here.
