After channeling body-morphing cosmic horrors in The Void, co-director Steven Kostanski is stepping into established franchise territory for his next project: a new Leprechaun sequel from SYFY.

Announced by SYFY in a new teaser video featuring Linden Porco as the Leprechaun (a role played by Warwick Davis in the first six films in the horror franchise, with Dylan "Hornswoggle" Postl playing the role in the most recent entry, Leprechaun: Origins), the new Leprechaun sequel is titled Leprechaun Returns and will premiere on SYFY in March of 2019.

According to SYFY, the new movie will bring back the murderous Leprechaun 25 years after the events of the first film in the franchise, with sorority sisters—played by Taylor Spreitler (Kevin Can Wait), Pepi Sonuga (Ash vs Evil Dead), and Sai Bennett (Lake Placid: Legacy)—inadvertently resurrecting the titular terror after demolishing a cabin to make way for a new sorority headquarters.

Helping to link the new sequel to the original movie (which starred Jennifer Aniston) will be Mark Holton, who will reprise his role as Ozzie from the first film. The cast will also include Emily Reid, Oliver Llewellyn-Jenkins, and Ben McGregor.

Kostanski will direct the eighth film in the Leprechaun franchise from a screenplay by Suzanne Keilly (Ash vs Evil Dead). Stay tuned to Daily Dead for more updates, watch the new teaser video below, and visit SYFY for more information.

They're bringing back Mark Holton, but not Warwick Davis? Davis has been in a lot of big budget movies, but not once has he ever dismissed the idea of playing the Leprechaun again.

He still seems to be really fond of the Leprechaun movies.

This is more of what I would want for the series than Origins.

Looks and sounds promising

Sad it's not Warwick Davis, but at least this Leprechaun falls more in line with the other movies as opposed to the one in Origins. Not that I've actually seen that one yet. I stopped after 3.

Well, it looks and sounds like a better film than Origins, though that's not exactly a high bar to clear.

Linden Porco talks taking over from Warwick Davis.

Whenever I would get into a scene, I did transform into being the Leprechaun. ... It became a part of me. Even after we were done doing a take, I would tease the other cast a little bit and do my creepy Leprechaun laugh and voice.

... I didn't really try to take too much from (Warwick Davis). I think everything in this movie is my own. When I was talking to Steven Kostanski, the director, we developed this character that is the iconic character and everything like that, but I modelled it actually after (Heath Ledger's The Joker in THE DARK KNIGHT). As soon as I thought of the Leprechaun, I thought of The Joker. ... Heath Ledger was an absolutely outstanding performance for that Batman movie, so I just sort of modelled it after him a little bit and sort of put my own spin on it as well."


What are the odds this is not the same Leprechaun from the first film? Apparently it's supposed to be, but I wonder.

Well, if that leprechaun can end up in space and in the hood, it's safe to say this will be the same leprechaun even without Warwick Davis playing him.

Disregard all that. I didn't realize it was a different leprechaun in each film #mindblown (wut)
