I'm out.

 

Edit: watched the trailer. Damnit. Looks quite good. I bet you Helena Bonham Carter's in there somewhere though.

Yeah, she is - you can see her when they're all sat around the table - bright orange hair.

Also it's got Chloe Moretz in it.... you like 'em young, right?

Certainly do - is that the one from Kick-Ass? She's no Stephanie from Lazytown but she'll suffice.

WWE Films to remake leprachaun

 

According to Variety, the WWE and Lionsgate have come together for a two-picture deal, with one of the films being a remake/remodel of the schlocky 1993 Warwick Davis/Jennifer Aniston horror flick, Leprechaun.

 

Lionsgate and the WWE will co-market, and split the cost of, the new Leprechaun film, which is set for a 2013 release. The other movie, from the two-movie deal, is yet to be determined. This doesn't mark the first time that Lionsgate and the WWE have teamed up as they also partnered to make See No Evil (starring Kane) and The Condemned (starring Steve Austin).

 

They're not even trying, are they? Who over there thinks this is actually a good idea? Why don't they try actually making a good fucking film instead of rebooting a franchise that no-one except mongs thought was any good in the first place?

Vince is just after a nice little earner now, their films have not made money in ages. Also, Vince is out of touch with the real world, so probably thinks most of their films are high art.

If they're going to make movies at all, that's the trashy direction they need to be going. I'd much rather see a schlocky b-movie with Hornswoggle cackling than another dreary 100 minutes of HHH as an ex-con who likes pickles and standing around talking.

No-one's going to see a Leprechaun reboot, though. Practically no-one on the street would have heard of the original. My Bloody Valentine only made the money it did because it slotted itself into a run of 3D horror hypefests.

 

I've nothing against trashy or schlocky b-movies, but this will fail and be shit. A total waste of everyone's time and money.

I thought WWE's last plan of attack was to go to film festivals and buy the rights to, you know, films that are actually good and unreleased.

 

That Leprechaun idea is fucking mongo.

I remember reading somewhere that someone brought up an idea of remaking Cannonball Run with WWE wrestlers, and they were thinking of doing it. Having Austin in the Burt Reynolds role and shit like that.

That was an idea from a certain wrestlers Gladders is sick of everybody bitching about (no, not Pepper Plunge). Shame they didn't do it though.

 

For the record, I'm not sick of people complaining about CM Punk. Quite the opposite, actually. So at least get your facts straight.

 

Punk, I think, revealed this idea on an Art Of Wrestling podcast. He was particularly enthused by the idea of Yoshi Tatsu and Funaki sharing a car, as I think we all should be.

I dunno, there used to be a Leprechaun film on Bravo every night from about 1998 onwards.
