Is it too late to get Christopher Nolan to direct this? Back in March is was officially announced that WWE would be producing Leprechaun: Origins, a remake of Leprechaun for Lionsgate, and that WWE wrestler Hornswoggle had been cast in the title role. It was also announced that Lionsgate and WWE Films had hired Harris Wilkinson to write the script.

Recently Crave spoke to WWE president Michael Luisi, who offered, “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.”

Luisi also conceded that the script is still in development. I’d like to note here that Wilkinson will have been given roughly 500% more time to write the new Leprechaun movie than Darabont was given to write the new Godzilla draft.

Guys I really doubt that's a still from the film (at least I hope not). it's probably just concept art or an unused poster or something.

It's some random thing they "revealed" at Comic Con.

They must just have finished the special effects, because they're finally showing a bit more of the actual leprechauns than just a bit of a hand or elbow. You can see more in the newest trailer.

It's pretty ridiculous. It definitely effects my opinion of WWE Films, because I thought they were improving a lot.

I have a great idea; let's bring back the cult classic Leprechaun, but first we have to follow these simple rules:
1. Throw away any references to the original Leprechaun
2. Turn the leprechaun into a man eating mutant
3. Take ANY generic horror story premise, it doesn't matter which one, and set in Ireland
4. Make all characters unrelateable and undesirable
5. Only show glimpses of the leprechaun and when you do show the creature make sure the camera is out of focus or quickly zoom past him.
6. Make the opening credit and closing credits 15 minutes of the 90 minute running time

I don't know about you but that sounds like a hit reboot...right?

Leprechaun Origins was possibly one of the worst films I had ever seen...not to mention worst reboot!

I must admit, when I first found out about this movie I was super excited! I loved all the Leprechaun movies...yes even the ones in "The Hood". I heard that the creators were going to make it a 100% horror flik and not take the campy route that the Leprechaun series had taken. Though I LOVED that about those movies, it peeked my interest when I thought about what it would be like to see a SCARY version in the Leprechaun series. By the way, if you can't tell, I'M STILL WAITING!

My first mistake was paying for the movie on VOD, though at the time it seemed like a good idea. I now realize that the scariest thing about my experience was paying the 7.99$ for the HD version. The movie starts and I'm ready: I had my popcorn, my soda, and I had my.... Well let's just say a
horror movie can be enhanced with a little help from Mary Jane...she didn't like the movie either!

So, Leprechaun Origins. Two people die in the first 5 minutes by a very fast "animal" type thing that has infrared eyesight. Cut to: the main characters. They are "introduced" (and by introduced I mean they show you who the slut is, who the rebel is, who the asshole is, and who the dorky heroin is), by the way I had no clue what their names were. All I knew is that they were in Ireland, because the men in the pub spoke with an Irish accent, and I knew that one of them was a history major. Oh and I think the four of them were dating, seperatly I think. A few minutes later they are trapped in a cabin by the townsfolk who have left them there to be sacrificed to the mutant animal in the woods, i.e. a leprechaun. The rest you can figure out yourself.

Warwick Davis...HELP!!!!! We need you back! Not only were you not in this movie, any reference to the lore of your "character" wasn't in it, and I'm almost positive neither was a leprechaun!!!!!!!! What we did get was some mutant animal with weird chicken legs that eats people... Oh and likes anything that may look like gold. Warwick, if you read this, by any chance, let's do a reboot that works! Please...there are hundreds of writers out there, myself included, that could have made a better film!!

The lucky charms were soggy, there was no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and the only wish that came true was the movie ended!

Lmao, best review ever! Love your wording.

Not loving the fact that this is apparently a pile of shit but oh well. I'll still sit through it since I've seen the others.

This is their first real strike against them for me lol. I really liked The Call, The Condemned, and See No Evil. I haven't bothered with a lot of their non-Horror/thriller films though, but when it comes to 'our genre' and SOME action films they've done well so far.

I turned it on and watched a few minutes, but I ended up turning it off. I think I'm going to watch it between Dead Snow and Dead Snow 2 tomorrow. If I don't watch it now with the last of the 2014 stuff, I'll just end up saving it for a Leprechaun marathon before St. Patrick's Day, and I'm going to be realistic and bet that I won't make it through the entire series.
