Creator and director Mark Jones chats with Screen Rant about Leprechaun's legacy and working with Jennifer Aniston ahead of Friends.
Summary In celebration of the 30th anniversary of Leprechaun, Hulu has added all eight films to the streaming platform. Lionsgate recently revealed that an official reboot is in the works, which is no surprise given the franchise's long-standing success. The film series centers around a vengeful leprechaun and the unlucky victims who end up on the receiving end of his murderous rampage.
Mark Jones: No, and if I knew it, I would have made a better deal for all of the sequels. Listen, it's been taking care of me for 30 years, and it's pretty amazing. I remember I said to my producing partner, "What are the odds that we'll get a sequel?" and then he goes, "Well, if it does well in video, maybe they'll do a sequel," and I go, "That'd be great to actually have two pictures.
Leprechaun was also one of Jennifer Aniston’s first major projects. This came out before Friends premiered. How was getting a chance to work with her so early on in her career and seeing everything she’s done since? What do you enjoy most about the different iterations of the character of the leprechaun and how it’s evolved over the years?
Given that this is the 30th anniversary, it’s obviously been a while since this was filmed. However, is there a scene or a moment on set that sticks out to you when you look back on the making of the movie?
