Leprechaun Remake

[Macready]

Since this looks to be pretty much official I'll put it here instead of the Rumors forum.


With the reboot of EVIL DEAD being so successful, maybe other franchises in horror have a chance, right? Allow me to present exhibit A:

LEPRECHAUN.

Is there any possible way that you could reboot this franchise which launched the career of Jennifer Aniston (no, that was FRIENDS) and had "LEPRECHAUN IN THE HOOD" as part of the series of films? It was a horror comedy that wasn't meant to be serious in any sort of way. How could you be with a tag line like "Your luck just ran out"? Will the reboot realize the lack of fear when it comes to a Leprechaun? Not sure. Details on this flick are slim.

What we do know is that Zach Lipovsky, a visual effects veteran who was a finalist from the Steven Spielberg and Mark Burnett produced reality show ON THE LOT will serve as the helmer. WWE star Hornswoggle will play Leprechaun this time around. The role has long belonged to Warwick Davis, who has done much cooler things.

I remember back in middle school when everyone was like, "Have you seen THE LEPRECHAUN? It's so creepy!" I would reply, "That doesn't sound creepy at all. Have you seen SUSPIRIA?" (Thanks for that dad!).

I had to look up who the fuck Hornswoggle is...

Warwick Davis was and always will be the Lep don't think i can really see anyone else come close enough.

I always liked the leprechaun series, it was like a funny Wishmaster with more ridiculous scenarios. They're going to run into one problem, the Leprechaun character has a major personality and actually requires acting. Something I'm not sure a wrestler can do.

Yeah looks like a terrible casting choice, shoulda gone after Peter Dinklage!

This is stupid nobody can play Leperchaun the same way Warwick Davis has. Kinda like nobody can play Freddy unless it's Robert England. Although JEH didn't do that bad IMO.

I'm a wrestling fan, but this is Wwe's attempt to cash in... They're producing it, and it'll bomb like all there othe tmovies

I watched 'The Call' the other night which I was surprised to see was produced by WWE, turned out to be a very entertaining thriller and a commercial success to boot.

Maybe they have some good films in them after all, they are also the studio for 'No One Lives' which is supposedly a good slasher, though I haven't caught that one yet.

[Darkgod]

but theres a difference between ones they produce and ones they buy... the call they bought... theyre actually the creative force behind Leprechaun

[tacticalbacon]

ahhh gotcha

[IrishG3nt]

I would watch Leprechaun Back to Da Hood 5 times in a row rather than watching a Leprechaun without Warwick Davis

I actually think Leprechaun 4: In Space is kind of underrated.

Leprechaun 4 was a fun movie but the first two were the best. I'm interested in seeing this new version and I hope it takes itself a bit more seriously just to try and set itself a part from the original series

[CountOrlok]

Saw the trailer. Looks like a another dumb slasher flick but I might check it out.

Passing. I have to suffer watching Hornswoggle (Dylan Postl) on WWE. Don't need to suffer watching him play Leprechaun.

So if this truly is an official teaser poster from the studio, I take it there is no makeup on Hornswoggle?
