Leprechaun Headed To The Wild Wild West? “Gold Rush, Me Laddies?!”
On last night’s/filmcast, we asked you guys to name a third franchise film that was better than the original. One of the suggested contenders?Leprechaun 3. Well, wise guy, put on your disco slippers becauseDarren Lynn Bousman, the director ofSaw 2, 3, 4andRepo! The Genetic Opera,has issued a “call me” toLionsgatefor a newLeprechauntheatrical installment. Here’s what Bousman confessed toMTV…
“If Lionsgate is listening, give me Leprechaun. …Back to the old west,” Bousman said. “You send him in a time machine and transport him to the old west. There are gold rushes. There are gunfights. It’s awesome! I have the whole thing already worked out!”
Bousman said his dream flick wouldn’t be horror per se. The proposed Wild, Wild West setting would perfectly compliment other cherishedWarwick Davis-vehicles like 1997’sLeprechaun in Space, 2000’sLeprechaun in the Hood(golden bars!), and the unreleasedLeprechaun in OverTwittered Olympics. Anyone have the box set? If so, pass go. Your contribution to society is complete…until the next box set. Personally, I’m highly in favor of Bousman getting his way. Lionsgate, go playAsteroidswith brain cells.
Discuss: Did you know thatLeprechaun in Spaceis the only film in this esteemed franchise where our lucky dwarf doesn’t rap? Provide some fitting Wild Wild West lyrics below and I’ll include the dumbest entry in the post with credit.Dumbest Leprechaun Rap Goes to Gajonka: “You ride shotgun on that wagon, yo, but I got me GOLD hidden in a grave out West. Let’s hit the saloon for showdown, we’ll see who’s best rebel—I’ll drop you with my lucky charms, yo.”
