LEPRECHAUN RETURNS Director Up for Another New Sequel By Mike Sprague
The Void director Steven Kostanski’s
Leprechaun Returns was fun. And today we hear that Kostanski is more than happy to return to the franchise for a follow-up.
Kostanski tells
Well, I mean, the producer who hired me for Leprechaun was the one that hired me for the Day of the Dead [TV series], so I’ve continued that relationship. But as far as follow-up Leprechaun sequels, I haven’t heard anything, but I would honestly be all overdoing it. If it happens, I’d love to do it. I had a lot of fun making that movie, and it was a great experience. It gave me more of an appreciation for the Leprechaun movies. I feel we made something that fits into that mythology nicely, and I think there’s a lot of room to continue it. I haven’t heard anything, but if I was asked to do a follow-up, I’d be into it.”
