Hey, you remember the Leprechaun horror franchise? No? Well don’t worry, somebody at Lionsgate did, and they’re totally rebooting the idea that maybe the tiny green-clad people are in fact vindictive, murderous drunks. Because that’s the sort of fresh injection of ideas that Hollywood needs right after a St. Patrick’s day weekend.
I mean for what it’s worth, the original franchise ran from 1993-2003 over the course of five films, each of which was equally forgettable. Except the 1993 Leprechaun did introduce the world to Jennifer Aniston. And the most recent installment was called Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood, which is just fantastic. Almost as good as Leprechaun 4: In Space.
No word yet on who’s direct, write, or act in the thing – although it’d be nice if Warwick Davis, who played the titular Leprechaun in all five installments, could come back for one last awful vaguely racist teen-slasher flick.
