It is being reported by Variety that Lionsgate is going to reboot the 1993 movie Leprechaun.While the studio is looking at a release sometime in 2013, no writer, director or cast have have been announced as of yet.
The original movie starred Warwick Davis as Leprechaun and Jennifer Aniston as Tory Reding.
This project is being called a reboot and not a remake. Is there a difference and if so, what is the difference? I feel that Chud.com has a good article about the subject and even defines the terms which I'll post here.
Remake: A straight re-telling of a story for the purpose of updating it for a contemporary audience, or making it accessible to a different culture or region.
Reboot: A course correction done with the purpose of restarting a franchise. A reset. Fealty to the original story or film is not a priority.
Re-Imagining: A re-telling of a story, but only in the broadest sense. Characters and some story elements may be retained, but mostly plot and story have been repurposed.
