As Bloody Disgusting told you last year, Lionsgate has been actively seeking pitches for the next Leprechaun movie.

 

THR reports this afternoon that Lionsgate has now hired director Felipe Vargas (Milk Teeth, below) to “reimagine” the Leprechaun franchise. Mike Van Waes wrote the screenplay. Roy Lee is producing through Vertigo Entertainment.

 

THR notes, “[Warwick] Davis is not expected to reprise the role.”

 

“Thirty years after its debut, this franchise still casts a spell, and we’re thrilled to be bringing it back with a new vision,” Erin Westerman, president of production for Lionsgate’s Motion Picture Group, said in a statement. “Roy and Miri are two of our most trusted producers, especially with this genre, and we’re excited by Felipe’s vision for the film as a director.

Sorry, I didn’t know what else to say.  Now your leprechaun thread has some action.  Only a matter of time now…

Wait, they didn’t quit after “Leprechaun in the Hood”?  Yikes.

Never heard of them.

Jennifer Aniston is in the first one if you can believe it.
