Sequel Has “Power of the Dark Crystal”
After two-and-a-half decades, Jim Henson’s beloved family fantasy, The Dark Crystal, is getting a sequel, The Power of The Dark Crystal.
According to The Jim Henson Company, co-CEO Lisa Henson announced the news Wednesday, that Genndy Tartakovsky (Star Wars: Clone Wars) will direct the new film that will combine live-action animatronics with 3D animation.
Returning to the production will be Brian Froud, character designer of the original 1982 movie.
The story for the sequel will be set hundreds of years after events of the first film, when the crystal is once again split but this time by two young friends who want to save the planet by re-igniting the dying sun which exists at the planet’s core.
