During the Sdcc we had a chance to get the skinny on WWE's Leprechaun: Origins, starring WWE Supertstar Dylan "Hornswoggle" Postl. Read on for the scoop from Dylan and director Zach Lipovsky.
"For me the biggest and coolest challenge was that Leprechauns aren't something that people are generally frightened by," Lipovsky (pictured) tells us of the character and his idea for how the film should play out.
"We asked ourselves, can we do something that would be legitimately scary for people, and if so, what would that look like? Anything was on the table so that was really fun. It was fun to come on to the project and make it something that honors the mythology and is iconic and be totally fresh with our approach. We looked into making the origin story of a creature that maybe thousands of years ago the Celtics met in a cave or something that was really scary.

The first official poster from the WWE's Leprechaun: Origins, starring WWE Supertstar Dylan "Hornswoggle" Postl as the ever-so-evil title character, has arrived and it's gold-hording good! Check it out!
Leprechaun: Origins also stars Stephanie Bennett, Teach Grant (The Tall Man, Devour, Repeaters, “Cult”), Bruce Blain (“Supernatural”), Adam Boys, and Brendan Fletcher ("The Killing," Freddy vs. Jason, 13 Eerie).
The original Leprechaun, which featured comedic elements, followed an evil leprechaun searching for his pot of gold while avoiding four-leaf clovers. “The tone [of Origins] is going to be a little darker, a little more traditional horror than the Warwick Davis ones that people remember, trying to find a way to please fans of that genre; but at the same time this is really being played for scares,” said WWE president Michael Luisi in an earlier interview.
Producers are keeping details of Harris Wilkinson's script under wraps to keep the franchise's new direction a secret.

Jensen Ross Ackles was born on 1 March 1978 in Dallas, Texas. He is of Irish, Scots and English ancestry. Jensen's parents were going to name him Justin, but settled on Jensen as it wasn't too well known a name. He attended Dartmouth Elementary, Richardson, Texas and graduated from Lloyd Berkner High School, Richardson, Texas in 1996. He is 6' 1" and his height has been the brunt of many a joke in Supernatural. An avid sportsplayer, keen on Lacrosse and baseball, he had aspired to become a sports therapist and wanted to study Sports Medicine at Texas Tech University. Jensen's father, Alan Ackles is also an actor and his mother is Donna. He has an older brother, Josh and a younger sister, Mackenzie. Jensen's Texan accent comes and goes, but is especially strong when he's back home. At the tender age of 2, he began modelling and appeared in such commercials for Wal-Mart, Radio Shack and Nabisco.

Jensen Ackles is one of those actors that just comes across as likable. He is that smart ass who really means well, and this has served him nicely on his hit series .Supernatural.. Every week it seems to work towards Jensen.s strengths as an actor. But aside from that, Jensen is fairly new to film. Aside from Ten Inch Hero and Devour, he hasn.t done a whole lot as a film actor. But with My Bloody Valentine 3-D, and the possible end for his series next year, it seems that he may be...
