Lionsgate and WWE Will Reboot the Horror Film 'Leprechaun'

According to Variety, Lionsgate and World Wrestling Entertainment, better known as WWE, have entered an agreement to produce two movies together, the first of which is the reboot of the 1993 horror film, Leprechaun.

Leprechaun, if you haven't came across it on late night TV or in the rental isles, is about the aforementioned title character going on a killing spree to get back the gold that was stolen from him. The movie was also the feature debut of one Jennifer Aniston before she became a household name as Rachel Green in the hit TV series, Friends.

When the movie was released in theaters back in 1993, it only took in $8.5 million at the box office. The sequel, released the following year, performed even worse by taking in only $2.3 million.

As far as I'm aware, there are a total of six movies in this series, four of which were released straight to video. Storywise, this little green killer has been to Las Vegas, taken to space, and been to the hood (and back).

As of this moment, no names have been attached to this reboot. With WWE's involvement, don't be surprised to see some of its more well-known wrestlers throwing a clothesline or two in the movie.

The other movie in this agreement between Lionsgate and WWE is unknown at this point. Let's hope it's not the reboot of No Holds Barred or Thunder in Paradise.
