One of the Most Popular Fantasy Movies of All Time Is Getting a Sequel!

Last summer one of the most beloved 80s kids movies Jim Henson’s The Dark Crystal returned with an entire prequel series on Netflix done entirely with puppets like the original and now its sister film, Labyrinth, is also finally getting a sequel 34 years after the original starring David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly hit theaters.

Jim Henson’s daughter Lisa Henson is producing the film; Scott Derrickson, who directed Doctor Strange, will be behind the camera while Maggie Levin, who created the cult Hulu show Into the Dark, will write the movie script.

Unfortunately David Bowie, who played the Goblin King, is no longer with us but Jennifer Connelly is still working so it remains to be seen if she’ll return in some capacity. Meanwhile, several of the famous puppets from the original are expected to be featured.

There’s no time table for the film’s release yet though with all the massive amount of production responsible to designs and create the puppets, costumes and sets for a fantasy film like Labyrinth, it will probably be at least a few years off.
