Not too long ago, Lionsgate announced that they were teaming up with WWE Studios to reboot 1993's Leprechaun. The two studios are aiming for a March 2013 release date for the film titled Leprechaun: Origins. We also now know who will be playing Leprechaun and it's not Warwick Davis, who starred in the original and the sequels that followed. The title role has been given to Dylan Postl, the WWE star who is better known as Hornswoggle.Postl went to Twitter to make the announcement.
"The #swogglesecret that I've been hinting at all week is that in March 2013 I will be starring in Leprechaun:Origins by WWE Studios!!!"
WWE Studios released their official statement.
"As first reported by Variety, WWE Studios is joining forces with Lionsgate for a two-film slate, the first of which will be a reboot of the hit “Leprechaun” franchise. “Leprechaun: Origins” will star WWE’s own mischievous Superstar Hornswoggle making his feature film debut, proving the old adage that there truly are no small parts, only small actors. A writer or director has yet to be announced."
