In Honor of Jennifer Aniston's Birthday, Check Out the Trailer to Leprechaun...Her Feature Film Debut!

 

Today is Jennifer Aniston's 44th birthday. People may know her from the hit television show Friends and movies such as Just Go With It, Marley & Me and Wanderlust, but what some people may not know is the fact that her feature film debut was in the 1993 cheesy horror flick Leprechaun. Check out the trailer below:

 

Hmm...I wonder if she likes to even admit that she was in the movie? Don't deny, be proud!

"Leprechaun" Reboot Gets Their Leprechaun

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."

"Leprechaun" to Get the Reboot Treatment

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.
