I’ll have to update this article as we’re due to get a new LEPRECHAUN movie!

THR reports that Lionsgate has hired director Felipe Vargas (award-winning horror short MILK TEETH) to “reimagine” the LEPRECHAUN franchise.

They note that “[Warwick] Davis is not expected to reprise the role.”

“Thirty years after its debut, this franchise still casts a spell, and we’re thrilled to be bringing it back with a new vision,” Erin Westerman, president of production for Lionsgate’s Motion Picture Group, said in a statement. “Roy and Miri are two of our most trusted producers, especially with this genre, and we’re excited by Felipe’s vision for the film as a director.

“In his hands, this movie should be very scary and a ton of fun.”
