He tells MovieWeb: “Here’s what I love about the Leprechaun franchise. They’re ridiculous, they’re fun. They’re violent. It’s a perfect popcorn horror movie, it’s not trying to be uber-serious. It’s not trying to be uber-scary. It is just a fun time. I think that I miss those types of movies that are just fun. While I love the Hereditarys and the Midsommars, The Witch. Those are my favorite types of movies. They’re not fun. Your butthole is clinched, You’re sweating in the movie. I want those movies like the Final Destinations, where you’re high-fiving in the theater, you’re laughing, and I think Leprechaun kind of embodies that, the more they went on, they became more ridiculous. I love that, I love the fact that they would send Leprechaun to the hood, and then back to the hood! Again! And then to space!“

He adds: “I really want Leprechaun to get a time machine and start a whole new franchise. I want to send him to the Colorado gold rush. He’s gonna go back in time to the Colorado gold rush, and antics will ensue. I will only do it with Warwick Davis, and I will make this happen, I will will this into existence. I have willed every movie that I’ve wanted to do, whether it be a weird rock opera or going to Japan to do a TV series. I’ve willed s*** into existence. I will will a Warwick Davis return to Leprechaun. I love A Nightmare on Elm Street, but I did not love the Jackie Earle Haley Nightmare on Elm Street because Robert Englund is my Freddy Krueger. Warwick Davis is my Leprechaun. That’s all I’m saying. I will make this happen.”
