Would You Watch a Bousman Version of 'Leprechaun'?
Things have changed a lot since Jennifer Aniston starred in Leprechaun in 1993 -- Friends, tumultuous romances, and a whole non-horror career. But what if she went back to the fold?
During a discussion with MTV, Darren Lynn Bousman, the man behind Repo!, wishes he could follow the rainbow. "I would do Leprechaun in a second. If Lionsgate is listening, give me Leprechaun." But he wouldn't get too serious with the material if given the chance to reboot it: "It's just one of those fun popcorn movies. I would love to bring back the fun popcorn movie -- extreme violence, extreme absurdity -- but make it fun." His idea of fun -- the little bugger in the old west with gold and gun fights.
Personally, I think this could be great if they get Aniston back in on it, and just go wacky. How about you?

(Page 1)2. Reboot? I would love to stick my reboot up some Hollywood Execs ass.
Go and read some new scripts! Talk to the writers out there who are bursting with great ideas.
I am getting a bit bored of rebooting.
Lazy, greedy bastards.

1. I somewhat enjoyed the tacky entertainment the first one provided. Once the time line came into effect and we saw the little monster invade the ghetto, it seemed to be almost to ridiculous to watch. So as long as we keep the little leprechaun out of the ghetto i think it would be a decent mid card movie.
