HOLY SH!T: Hornswoggle Is The New “Leprechaun,” Theatrical Release Planned

April 1st, 2012 James Shotwell

Twenty years after the original debuted in theaters, WWE films is planning to reboot the Leprechaun series with a star of their own.

Hitting theaters in March 2013 (Someone has to cash in on St. Patty’s Day at the box office, right?), WWE Films version of Leprechaun will star Hornswoggle, AKA David Postl, in the role original made famous by Warwick Davis. At this time, no director or plot details are available, but the studio has already contracted Postl for a sequel.

Before the internet surely loses its shit, think about just how “sacred” you truly consider the Leprechaun…

Get Ready, A “Pinocchio” Prequel Is On The Way

October 17th, 2011 James Shotwell

I don’t know how many people saw the box office report this weekend, but Real Steel is once again number one and Fox’s prequel/remake of The Thing failed miserably. You’d think studios would start to realize the hype of remakes, prequels, and sequels is starting to die down, but as you’ll soon learn that seems to be the exact opposite of what is happening in Hollywood these days.

Shawn Levy, AKA the guy who directed battling robots in Real Steel, has been tapped by Fox to direct a prequel to the animated classic Pinnochio. Written by Michael Vukadinovich …
