Lots of good points are being made here. While I certainly wouldn't be shaking a pitchfork in the JHC's direction if a new Labyrinth film were to actually go into production, I very much doubt a new film would be any good. The original was fantastic because of the wonderful people collaborating...
Just a quick post as I'm curious about this. There are Facebook 'pages' for both Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal. Going by numbers alone it would seem these are the main pages for the films, though only TDC page has the 'official' blue tick next to it...
While the 'news' has obviously been refuted now, I've found that the most striking thing about this little piece of drama is the way the news spread like wildfire. There's clearly an appetite for new Labyrinth material, yet the Jim Henson Company seems strangely reticent to oblige. It's odd...
Unsurprisingly, the news is refuted here-

Read that last paragraph very closely, and you'll see confirmation that a 'Labyrinth' sequel is in development - this is VERY surprising. I'd be very surprised if anything comes of this knowing the JHC's recent...
Great! I really hope they talk about their plans for Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal. They really seem to have stalled when it comes to those projects, and I'm hoping they announce or at least tease new projects/developments.
Oh yes, I totally agree - I do cover fanart in the history, just not as much as I do fanfiction (which is mainly because the fanfic community is far more organised and vocal than the fanart community) - I specifically discuss the fanart of Pika La Cynique and AsheRhyder as their webcomics have...
Glad you liked it! I don't only discuss fanfic, though that is the main focus - I cover memorabilia, fanart and official licensed material. I'm aware some people in the fandom engage in different ways (as you do with your reproductions) but fanfic is what I personally have the most knowledge of...
Introduction/Part One/Part Two/Part Three/Part Four/Part Five
I thought I'd post links to this here, as it's something I've been working on for a while and I figured that it will probably be of interest to some of the patrons here. It's pretty long (as in almost 10,000 words long altogether!)...

This was difficult to place (if it's already up elsewhere, please feel free to delete/merge this) but I think this sub-forum is the best home for it since it's got more meaty information about the...

In a nutshell, they're reissuing The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth novelisations by A.C.H.Smith with some new material included.
Finally some news! Archaia seem to be heading in a drastically different direction from...
Back in 1999, Bowie commissioned the Jim Henson Creature Shop to produce puppets of himself for a video for his song 'The Pretty Things Are Going To ****'. The puppets were made and the video filmed, but Bowie was unhappy with it so it never saw the light of day. Two of the puppets have now been...
Just so everyone's fully aware, both the scripts that have been linked in this thread are identical and very early drafts. While a few scenes remain the same, the script is virtually unrecognizable as the Labyrinth that ended up being filmed. Terry Jones' original script was changed radically by...
Ha, I saw this and immediately thought about the AU scenario where this contest was to write a Labyrinth novel. I think they'd be absolutely swamped with Sarah/Jareth smut fics a la Fifty Shades of Grey. That's a property where JHC are sensible to avoid any attempts to harness the fandom -...
I'm not sure how long it's been there, but I've just seen that amazon have a plot synopsis for the upcoming Labyrinth prequel graphic novel by Archaia -
Archaia and The Jim Henson Company are proud to present an original prequel to Jim Henson’s classic fantasy film. Labyrinth is one of Jim...
Yes, I've actually compiled all of the illustrations of Sarah below. The only version that looks remotely like Jennifer Connelly is from the Storybook (the one right at the bottom)-
Most of the illustrations in the activity/sticker books seem to draw directly from the Marvels comics. This...
Yeah, same old same old. I wish someone - anyone -would make some decent Labyrinth figurines or statuettes. All of the ones of Jareth have been lacklustre, and I can't think of a single piece of merchandise which features Sarah's likeness (beyond the usual suspect, i.e. kiddy activity books from...
Exactly it's perfectly natural for her to feel that way. I've never understood people feeling shocked or hurt by the fact she's embarrassed by it - I think I'd feel the same way. It's also important to remember many reviewers were damning about Jennifer's performance in Labyrinth - it must have...
As a lot has been said on this topic, I just want to clarify a few things-
With respect to Jennifer Connelly
1.) Labyrinth was not Jennifer Connelly's first feature film role, and nor was it her first main part. Her first film part was in Sergio Leone's Once Upon A Time In America (1984)...
