Right this moment (Could 26), it was introduced that the sequel to Jim Henson’s basic movie Labyrinth might be directed by Scott Derrickson (Scott most just lately directed Marvel’s Physician Unusual and produced the brand new sequence Snowpiercer). Scott confirmed the information on Twitter, merely writing, “The most recent…” and reposted a information article concerning the sequel.
It is true {that a} Labyrinth with out the enduring David Bowie (who handed away in 2016) does not appear fairly proper, nevertheless it appears to be like just like the sequel might be staying true to its roots. In keeping with Rolling Stone, Jim Henson’s daughter Lisa (who’s now the CEO of The Jim Henson Firm) might be producing the film alongside together with her brother Brian Henson, who might be govt producing.
The screenplay is being written by Maggie Levin, who usually takes on indie initiatives like making a stay membership manufacturing of The Rocky Horror Hipster Present.

Individuals are nonetheless apprehensive that this might be a Labyrinth remake.
Though the brand new Labyrinth movie is being marketed as really a sequel, diehard followers are involved that it will be a remake — which feels sacrilegious. To date the Labyrinth film is untitled, so we do not actually have the sense of what it’s going to be about. One Twitter person wrote, “F*** off please do not break a basic .. labyrinth. They need to remake a sequel to it..simply no and no. Depart the basic alone. Solely David Bowie might be goblin King Jareth.”

Additionally, please do not remake Labyrinth? Concentrate on new tales of women coming of age by means of fantasy and journey. We are able to recognize historical past as historical past and never try to repeat it phrase for phrase.

Because it actually feels like the brand new Labyrinth film might be in good palms, there’s nothing to fret about — but. As of now, we’re unsure when the movie is ready to be launched. On condition that it was simply introduced who could be writing the script, it appears to be like prefer it’ll be awhile, which is an efficient factor. Let’s take our time with treasures like Labyrinth.
