 What is going on guys welcome back to channel critical over here to talk about the leprechaun franchise in this video hasn't been a time that I've Goten to talk about this franchise in quite a while But recently bloody disgusting had a report today that their Sources indicate that Lionsgate is actively seeking out pitches for the next leprechaun movie So you can expect to hear more from the mischievous horror icon soon and they say the report more soon as we learn it So there's been no I like actual official anything announced. There's been no official title There's nobody announced to be actually involved no writer announced no director no word on the warwick Davis who I know a lot Of you want him back will be returning But they did mention in highlight that Derek or Darren Lynn Boseman who we know is Active with the saw French eyes. He also recently did spiral from the book of saw He had been publicly asking Lionsgate to let him tackle a new installment in that horror comedy leprechaun franchise for over 10 years He did talk about his vision in a chat with bloody disgusting For starters where he did mention that he would definitely bring warwick Davis back or warwick Davis back He said he would make a more direct sequel to the leprechaun franchise. It would not be a reboot He does not want to do that. I would demand that warwick Davis come back I wouldn't do it without him and I would not try to change the tone. I would make it equally as That bat shit bonkers crazy it would be between the first film and back to the hood It would be somewhere in that tonal frame It got really ridiculous as they went on but that ridiculous is what made them fun. So we know at this point in time There's eight leprechaun movies. There's eight Now setting a movie in between back to the hood and the original, okay I mean, that's that's fine to me all for the basis that these movies themselves I don't take them that serious and I don't think this movie would be any different if he really if he were to Be the person who does this I don't know what actually he Detailed would be doing but if it's a tween the first one in back to the hood I think many people would be on board with it Only because of the fact that the series in and of itself is ridiculous. Sure you could do a sequel to back to the hood, but I Don't know if I really want too many more movies that are in the hood at this point Also, if if it's a sequel to back to the hood and it's still in the hood That's what I'm saying. I don't know if I want to go back to the hood again If it can be a sequel to back to the hood without being in the hood. That's all I'm saying Does none of these movies are act like movies I say, oh my gosh, you have to sit on the watch This is so amazing. This is just like pure camp warwick is amazing in the role. Don't get me wrong And I love these franchises. I love this franchise, but these movies I don't think anyone would go out of the way to say, you know, these are Oscar worthy films and The last one I think premiered on sci-fi so having warwick back in the role He does an amazing job every time he's like the best part about those movies No doubt about it. So having him back I know there was a time where he stated he did not want to do certain movies like this because of his son He's he stated that he would change his mind or start to reconsider it once his son turned 18 Good news is that his son is 18 now Probably much older than that at this point prior to a few years ago in 2018 when he made those comments so his son is of a decent age now, but that doesn't mean that he necessarily wants to do these movies again, but I Think it would be amazing to have warwick gave his back in the role as leprechaun once again see him in a different time period Maybe they could explore one of those versus movies I know a lot of people would love to see leprechaun versus Chuckie I just got to throw that out there leprechaun versus Chuckie on paper while I think that sounds amazing to the inner child in me That loves those two icons the characters themselves One has such a advantage over the other one It's not even gonna be reasonable unless you write it a certain way where leprechaun has lost his powers If leprechaun has not lost his powers, he has no reason losing to Chuckie. We've seen him literally blow someone's stomach up We've seen him make someone pop. We've seen him do a lot of things. We've seen this thing Make someone pull a gun up and shoot themselves in the head. So I mean come on now Losing against Chuckie you'd have to have something in the narrative where he lost his powers Because that that alone wouldn't even be a long fight But I don't know what they necessarily would explore if we don't get that get that idea from Boseman But I would love to see what he had in store because he seems like he's been dying to get his hands on this property I would love to see warwick back. I know people would love to also see Jennifer Aniston back for whatever reason I'm not saying I'm against it, but she I don't think she's done many of the horror movies outside of leprechaun So if she if she would like to come back because I know they brought the actor back who played Ozzie and leprechaun returns So if they wanted to revisit that Dynamic can have Jennifer Aniston back for a leprechaun movie. I'm not saying don't do that That would be cool if you come up with a unique concept bring her back bring warwick back Bring some other familiar faces back from the original film. I'm all for it A movie that's after back to the hood what that could look like again. I don't know It's been so long since we had a warwick centered film. I think the last one was 2003 I was like five six years old at the time that movie went straight to VOD I remember I used to rent it from blockbuster all the time But after that, you know the leprechaun series was dormant and I can honestly say despite us getting two more movies after that You know the warwick era was the best era and we haven't had a Leprechaun movie in my opinion that's actually gotten me excited since back to the hood and again I was like five or six. So it's it's kind of nice just to be at a young a young adult age Having all these horror icons that you enjoyed watching growing up get these new entries So I would love to see something with warwick involved and in the makeup once again I'm already still heartbroken about the fact that Jonathan break isn't back as the creeper I'm still gonna give Jaru Benjamin a chance But you know, it's always a pleasure to get those horror icons that gave you those nightmares and gave you those Thrills and those moments of laughter like warwick did in that role as the leprechaun or other characters and other actors that brought these Iconic characters to life see them come back and put the makeup back on and dive back into it after so much time has passed and See that they still can knock it out of the park I'm interested to see how the makeup will be updated in any capacity because I'm sure they'll still try to mirror what he looked Like originally, but then do a updated spin on it But even still if the movie were to be done by Boltzman He gives us his idea in between back to the hood and the first one But I think there might be some pushback honestly from the studio and he probably Might not go up that idea and do something else completely where he sets it after back to the hood But the franchise itself again is so ridiculous the narratives and the sequels so so absurd So turn your brain off and just enjoy it for what it is These again are not Oscar worthy films. No one's gonna go into a leprechaun movie expecting a eight out of ten nine out of ten ten Out of ten movie. You're going in there to turn your brain off sit down Watch some good kills and hopefully laugh along the way if it's something that's at least funny and able to hold your attention At the absurdity of it all but I can't wait to see what comes of this news that we got today Let me know what you think about all this down in the comment section below What is your favorite film from the leprechaun franchise?
