PROJECT DETAILS

• In a recent interview WWE President Michael Luisi was quoted saying: "The tone is going to be a little darker, a little more traditional horror than the Warwick Davis ones that people remember, trying to find a way to please fans of that genre but at the same time this is really being played for scares." (1/24/13)
• The WWE wrestler known as "Hornswoggle" will play the Leprechaun.
• One of the producers at WWE Studios was quoted saying: "We have been looking for ways to continue our relationship with Lionsgate and we saw 'Leprechaun' as the perfect opportunity to take a well-known franchise and put a modern-day spin on it. This is a property that we believe our audience will respond to and we continue to look for ways to surprise and engage them."
• Warwick Davis will not return to play the Leprechaun this time.
• The original spawned 5 sequels.
• The original film was actress Jennifer Aniston's first starring role.
