Lionsgate and WWE Both Wish For ‘Leprechaun’ Remake

Published

on

It’s been well known that Lionsgate has wanted to revisit their Leprechaun franchise for some time now. Even Saw II-IV director Darren Lynn Bousman openly campaigned his involvement a few years back.

Launched in 1993 by Trimark (and acquired by Lionsgate through their acquisition of Artisan Entertainment back in 2000), the first film featured Warwick Davis as the pint-sized wish-making killer and also featured the debut of a young and sexy Jennifer Aniston.

It has taken Lionsgate less than 10 years to pound out multiple sequels (including Leprechaun 2, Leprechaun 3, Leprechaun 4: In Space, Leprechaun in the Hood and Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood) and now to reboot it.

Lionsgate is pacting with WWE Studios on a two-film deal that includes a brand new Leprechaun, with plans on making various horror fans wishes come true by 2013. Variety adds that there is currently no writer, director or cast attached.

‘Monster Mash’ Trailer – Michael Madsen Assembles His Own Monster Squad in New Indie Horror Movie

Published

Michael Madsen Monster Mash

Universal’s “Dark Universe” may have gone up in flames right out of the gate, but that’s not stopping other studios from (unofficially) making their own Universal Monsters mashups.

All the classic monsters unite to brawl in The Asylum’s Monster Mash, which is coming to select theaters as well as VOD outlets at home on the same day, Friday, March 29, 2024.

Who brings them all together, you ask? Michael Madsen, of course!

In Monster Mash, “A dying Dr. Frankenstein is determined to meld the world’s strongest monsters into a singular, unstoppable creation. Now the monsters—including Dracula, Werewolf, and the Invisible Man—must work together to stop him before it’s too late.”

The film will be opening theatrically in the following locations:

  • Laemmle – Glendale, California
  • Hickory Ridge Cinemas – Brunswick, Ohio
  • Trylon Cinema – Minneapolis, Minnesota
  • O Cinema – South Beach, Miami, Florida
  • Aurora Cineplex – Roswell, Georgia

Ethan Daniel Corbett and Emma Reinagel also star in The Asylum’s Monster Mash.

The film is written and directed by Jose Prendes (The Exorcists).

You can watch the Monster Mash trailer below. Monster Squad this is not, to say the least, but the low budget monster mashup does look like it could at least deliver a good time. Michael Madsen chewing the scenery as Victor Frankenstein while Dracula, The Invisible Man and a computer-generated Wolfman wreak havoc? We’ve been promised worse times than that!

“The Invisible Man… I just need a piece of his skin,” Madsen says at one point in the trailer. And it was in that moment that our weekend plans were decided. Find the film on VOD Friday.
