It has been well over a year and a half since the Leprechaun rebootprequel was announced and since then we have been given a clip and a first trailer, but we had not yet had even a glimpse of Dylan Postl (AKA Hornswaggle) as the titular character. Well, that has all changed. Lionsgate and WWE have released this official image and a new trailer. But they are a bit confusing:
The reason I say the new design is confusing is that Postl and director Zach Lipovsky have been making the rounds down in Comic con and telling everyone that, while darker and scarier than its predecessors, this is the origin story for the Leprechaun portrayed by Warwick Davis. So that begs the question, how does what looks like the love child of Pumpkinhead and Sam reconcile, both in appearance and behavior, with the little guy we know from 6 previous films?
I guess we shall find out in a month. Leprechaun hits VOD on August 26, 2014 and Blu-ray and DVD September 30th.
