Everyone loves Warwick Davis but once his Leprechaun made his trek into space and then two trips into the hood the series was in trouble.  As most horror fans know Warwick Davis has been replaced by WWE pint-sized brawler Dylan “Hornswoggle” Postl in the “Leprechaun: Origins” reboot of the series.  But news has surfaced from director Zach Lipovsky that this reboot is going to be less humorous than previous installments.

Here is what director Zach Lipovsky had to say:

”It’s basically a complete refresh, reboot,” he firms up. “We’re not trying to copy or really do at all what the last one did. It kind of did what it was doing so well, that’s why they made so many of them, but we’re going a completely new direction and completely new world and everything which is why they were excited by what I brought to the table because I was pretty new to the whole Leprechaun thing myself. It was kind of what can we do to make something that’s a legitimate horror movie rather than something a bit more campy?”
