In this current remake-happy cinematic climate, that Gone With the Wind is being eyed for a do-over isn’t much of a shocker — but the name behind it certainly is. In an interview with NextMovie, former Baywatch star David Hasselhoff expressed his desire to star in a remake of the classic romance from 1939, and even offered up one idea about the casting.
Hasselhoff told the site that his manager had been unhappy with him for signing on to the ultra-campy Piranha 3DD. “He wants me to do a Knight Rider film or Nick Fury, which I was supposed to do, or a remake of Gone With the Wind,” Hasselhoff said. Later in the conversation, he brought up the potential Gone With the Wind project again. “Hopefully the Gone With the Wind will come, hopefully something great will happen.”
Naturally, the conversation then turned to who could tackle the iconic Scarlett O’Hara role opposite Hasselhoff’s Rhett Butler. Hasselhoff suggested Rachel Weisz, though he initially referred to her as “Rachel Rice.” “I think she’s hot,” he said.

While that Child’s Play remake is still in limbo, audiences have grown accustomed to seeing pretty much every other popular horror film from the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties get remade. Now we’re moving into the Nineties. World Wrestling Entertainment Studios is teaming up with Lionsgate to remake the 1993 cult classic Leprechaun, which starred Warrick Davis and Jennifer Aniston, and was about a killer leprechaun trying to recover his stole pot of gold.
While no director, screenwriter or actors are attached, they’re hoping for a 2013 release. Read more after the jump. Read More »
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.”
