On last night’s /filmcast, we asked you guys to name a third franchise film that was better than the original. One of the suggested contenders? Leprechaun 3. Well, wise guy, put on your disco slippers because Darren Lynn Bousman, the director of Saw 2, 3, 4 and Repo! The Genetic Opera, has issued a “call me” to Lionsgate for a new Leprechaun theatrical installment. Here’s what Bousman confessed to MTV

“If Lionsgate is listening, give me Leprechaun. …Back to the old west,” Bousman said. “You send him in a time machine and transport him to the old west. There are gold rushes. There are gunfights. It’s awesome! I have the whole thing already worked out!”

Bousman said his dream flick wouldn’t be horror per se. The proposed Wild, Wild West setting would perfectly compliment other cherished Warwick Davis-vehicles like 1997’s Leprechaun in Space, 2000’s Leprechaun in the Hood (golden bars!), and the unreleased Leprechaun in OverTwittered Olympics. Anyone have the box set? If so, pass go. Your contribution to society is complete…until the next box set. Personally, I’m highly in favor of Bousman getting his way. Lionsgate, go play Asteroids with brain cells.

Discuss: Did you know that Leprechaun in Space is the only film in this esteemed franchise where our lucky dwarf doesn’t rap? Provide some fitting Wild Wild West lyrics below and I’ll include the dumbest entry in the post with credit.

Dumbest Leprechaun Rap Goes to Gajonka: “You ride shotgun on that wagon, yo, but I got me GOLD hidden in a grave out West. Let’s hit the saloon for showdown, we’ll see who’s best rebel—I’ll drop you with my lucky charms, yo.”

    else this whole town'll be dead by high noon.
  • TheMarquis
    I'm that wise guy that "suggested" Leprechaun 3. *puts on disco slippers*

    Do the irish have a rap version of the Hustle?

    [i'm also proud to be insinuated in a Hunter Stephenson post]
  • unless he's gonna roll into town in a DeLorean then there's no reason to do another time-travel western.
  • Gajonka
    GREAT IDEA BOUSMAN, SIMPLE AND SMART, LETS DO IT. LEPRECHAUN NEEDS A SIDEKICK.

    Lyric submission:

    "You ride shotgun on that wagon, yo, but I got me lucky charms in a hole, and I'll smoke that rebel dick after I get me gold, yo! Darrrrr!
  • Gajonka
    Great idea by Bousman. Simple and smart. let's do it.

    "You ride shotgun on that wagon, yo, but I got me GOLD hidden in a grave out west. Let's hit the saloon for showdown, we'll see who's best rebel- I'll drop you with my lucky charms, yo"

    LOL

    Gajonka - “You ride shotgun on that wagon, yo, but I got me GOLD hidden in a grave out west. Let’s hit the saloon for showdown, we’ll see who’s best rebel- I’ll drop you with my lucky charms, yo”


    Bwahhahahahahahahahhaa
  • Corey
    This really does sound like he watched Back to the Future Part 3 and decided it needs to be remade as a Leprechaun movie.
  • BFFredo
    Can they move the Leprechaun and the Leprechaun's hood back to the Old West?

    Cause you know...if we're going for retard...might as well go full retard.
  • Hendo
    @TheMarquis it's good that you suggested Leprechaun 3 back in the 90s but this will actually be Leprechaun 7. Scary that I know that haha
  • Gajonka
    LOL, thanks Hunter!
    I have Leprechaun in the Hood in my library, but its still unopened. And the fat kid in Leprechaun (who also plays the fat kid in Pee Wee's big adventure) is HILARIOUS in Leprechaun 1.

    Enjoy!
  • J.D.
    As long as they bring Jennifer Aniston back, it's going to be GREAT.


    ...not.
  • TheMarquis
    @Hendo. Nah, man. I suggested that Leprechaun 3 was better than the first one during the /Filmcast last monday.

    Leprechaun 3 and 4 director Brian Trenchard-Smith (one of Tarantino's favorite directors) blogs at www.filmindustrybloggers.com . Dozens of film industry pros have gathered to provide an insider's journal of how things go down.

    Check it out, you'll probably bookmark it.
  • if Bousman can really every read this then he really needs to make this new Leprechaun movie, i beg of you, leprechaun is one of the tightest movies ever made and warwick davis is the perfect leprechaun. Leprechaun has always been my favorite and always will, we need something new, somthing that is better than all the leprechauns to this day. So please Bousman make this happen and make it good.

    please

  • twi
    Yes! I have wanted this movie for years. Make it happen Lionsgate! No time travel needed - the Leprechaun is 1000 years old. If Bousman doesn't make this, I'll have to do it myself...
