Just yesterday we reported that Darren Lynn Bousman told MTV Movies Blog about wanting to direct the next LEPRECHAUN movie. Seemed a bit far-fetched and out there–but definitely plausible. Shortly thereafter, Bousman responded to the report via his MySpace page. Check out his response below:
Ahhh, the internet…
I awake this morning to see the net abuzz with my two attachments this morning – first to MOTHERS DAY, then to Leprechaun…
Jesus PEOPLE…
Come on… Seriously?
First off, YES I did say I wanted to revamp Leprechaun… But the context was in the form of a short film… I was approached to do a series of short films at one point. They were these comedy shorts. When I asked if I had any ideas I said “What about Leprechaun in the old west”. As if this was some sort of news… Mind you, this was after Saw II.
While promoting Repo – people have asked me about it… I joke with all of them… HELL YES, Leprechaun in the old west…
I guess, I am a quasi public figure, so anything is fair game, but SERIOUSLY…
Got to go, having a meeting to discuss the remake of SLEEPAWAY CAMP!
much love,
darren
He’s remaking SLEEPAWAY CAMP???? Hey, at least the guy has a sense of humor about it all. Ok, so no LEPRECHAUN IN THE WEST, but ya gotta admit… it’s a pretty damn good idea!
