- Crave Online recently spoke with Zach Lipovsky, the director for WWE Studios' Leprechaun: Origins, which stars Hornswoggle. Here are some notes from the interview:

* WWE contacted Lipovsky to work on the movie because they shot it in Canada and needed a Canadian.

* The new movie is a complete refresh reboot of the older Leprechaun movies.

* They're going for a darker, grittier movie. Lipovsky said, "I think when you first see the leprechaun you’ll be like, “Oh, dear God. This is absolutely terrifying and disgusting.” Rather than, “Oh, look at that funny little guy.”"

* It took about two hours per day to get Hornswoggle's make-up done.

* The movie will be rated R. He noted that it is made for adults and not kids.

* The movie comes out in spring 2014 but they are still editing. Everything should be finished by the end of the year.

* WWE is interested in using Lipovsky for other movies.

Das sieht doch schon ganz ordentlich aus. Werde ich mir auf jeden Fall anschauen ...

WWE Studios's "Leprechaun: Origins" movie starring Hornswoggle will be released in theaters on August 22, reports Variety.

This will be a limited theatrical release leading into the scheduled home video release on Aug. 26.

The marketing strategy is a page from the previous Studios gameplan, which calls for the movie to be released in a small number of theaters and then released on DVD the following week to put all effort into one marketing window; as opposed to marketing the theatrical release, waiting several weeks, and re-marketing the movie for home video.

According to Variety, WWE Studios and Lionsgate decided to give the movie a limited theatrical release due to a positive reception at Comic-Con last week.
