Jennifer Aniston Reflects on the Movie That Introduced Jennifer Aniston to the World: ‘Leprechaun’
Like many famous actors who are now household names, Jennifer Aniston got her start in horror. Just one year before the premiere of “Friends,” Aniston starred in 1993’s Leprechaun, a horror-comedy classic that birthed a still-running franchise that the actress never returned to. Her character kinda-sorta did return in last year’s Leprechaun Returns, however, thanks to a voice actor doing her best Jennifer Aniston impersonation. Is that even legal? In any event…
Chatting with Howard Stern this week (brought to our attention by Yahoo) Aniston reflected on her first major movie role. “I really thought I arrived when I did Leprechaun,” she told Stern.
Aniston continued, “It was with Warwick Davis, the guy from Willow was in it. It was a big deal! I really did think it was an amazing thing that I was in a movie.”
As Aniston revealed to Stern, she most recently revisited Leprechaun around eight years ago, when then-boyfriend Justin Theroux insisted upon watching it one night.
“I watched it like, 8 years ago with our mutual friend Justin Theroux for shits and giggles,” she explained. “We were dating. It was one of those things when I tried to get that remote out of his hand and there was just no having it. He was like, ‘No, no, no, no, this is happening.’”
“I just kept walking in and out, cringing.”
Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) is directing Kraven the Hunter.
The screenplay was written by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk.
