The Jim Henson Company has chosen Genndy Tartakovsky (Samurai Jack, Star Wars: The Clone Wars) to direct the sequel to The Dark Crystal!

Cool, Tartakovsky is an interesting (in a good way) choice. If only I could figure out how to say his name, is it like "Indy Tar-ti-kov-ski"?

The Jim Henson company is about to do a sequel to their 1982 masterpiece, it's set years after the first movie as a fire-girl from underground has stolen the shard of the crystal in hopes of healing a dying sun.

This is my third most anticipated movie of 2008 and comes out May of that year. I was thinking maybe when "Harry Potter 5" comes out perhaps there should be a teaser attached to it.

I received The Dark Crystal as a Christmas gift when I was about 14 or so. I still haven't watched it yet.

Yay!!! I love the Dark Crystal, so I'm really excited about the new movies planned by the Jim Henson Company: Dark Crystal 2 and the Fraggle Rock Movie.
I might be a bit more excited about the FG movie, but the DK2 will be more fun for everyone I guess.

The story concept of the sequel sounds much like the orignal one.

Oh, why am i not surprised? I scurry over onto the IMBD to look at some stuff involving the Dark Crystal and in the Recommendations List was The Black Cauldron.. I always did get the name of those two movies mixed up. Plus i guess the Horned King does look like one of those Skeksis in a strange unusual sort of way..

Anyways, I read that they were planning a Sequel in 2011 as well! I was tempted to make a topic based on the movies.. Luckily, i searched first and look at what i found!

Pretty cool that their going to use the puppet stuff! But i hope they dont over-do CGI Effects..

I feel very "meh" about The Dark Crystal. I MUCH prefer Labyrinth to it.

I dunno, I guess I just find Dark Crystal incredibly boring. Or at least I did the last time I watched it. Maybe I should watch it again sometime soon.

Although I gotta say the puppetry is AMAZING in that movie.

If only they would speed things up, I mean this has been in development hell since...forever.

I do recall them planning a sequel to Labyrinth as well,
Bowie, freshen up your act and then maybe we'll see the Goblin King
