The Power of the Dark Crystal (2011)

If this is anywhere as good as the first movie, it should be worth a watch :)
 
THE DARK CRYSTAL SEQUEL
BRIAN FROUD IN DISCUSSION WITH THE JIM HENSON COMPANY- UPDATED NEWS!

''Response from Froud fans at Comic-Con and Faerieworlds to the news that a DARK CRYSTAL sequel was in development at the Jim Henson Company was overwhelmingly enthusiastic. Fans were thrilled to hear that Brian Froud was involved and that (as in the original classic film) puppets will again be used and now complemented by numerous technologies not available twenty years ago. Brian will visit the Henson studios in Los Angeles this month to present his initial concept drawings and to meet with the director, writers and development team. Stay tuned to World of Froud for breaking news on this exciting and long awaited event. ''


YAY!
 
No, nothing in the news about it here.
I hope it's not just a figment of someones imagination! Would love to see it if it is true.:)
 
Dark Crystal I was cool, I guess. I just never fell into the whole show though. The whole thing dealing with strings and wires was too often-fake. I always got a morbid feeling from the show; kind of like watching the Nightmare Before Christmas! Hated that show.
Since our favorite puppeteer Jim Henson passed some years ago, I have never liked the whole puppet scene since.
For all of you lovers of puppetry out there, hope you enjoy....
 
I don't think it will just be for lovers of puppets, Stormflame.:)

Most of the viewers that enjoyed the first film will no doubt like this one as well.

Much like a particular author or a series of books. Some love them while others don't. Once again it's a matter of taste, don't you think?:)
 
So am I the only one who thinks that this is a really bad idea, due to the fact that the story was completely wrapped-up and free of loose ends at the end of the forst one, and that if they're going to make another Puppet-Quest film then it should be about something entirely different, and not just an attempt by a studio whose franchises are waning in popularity to try and recoup off the back of LOTR by revisiting something well and truly finished?

That said, it will probably be an entertaining film, and I will see it.
 
The Dark Crystal 2?

I've seen hints that there is movement on making a sequel to The Dark Crystal. Apparently Hensen productions is in on it as well as the wonderful Brian Froud.

Would you guys go see it, even though the terribly missed Jim Henson wouldn't be behind it?
 
Re: The Dark Crystal 2?

Yes indeed! The Dark Crystal has always been one of my favorite movies, and I would love to find out what happened afterwards. I just hope that it would continue in the excellent style the first film was made in.
 
Re: The Dark Crystal 2?

The first was a fine movie so, on that strength alone, I'd give this one a viewing (although the lack of Hensen would probably keep my expectations in check).
