No Prequel planned for Dark Crystal

Bad news for those of you who were excited by the prospect of a Dark Crystal prequel. The folks over at SFX called up their Henson contacts, who told them "there (are) absolutely no plans of that sort at the moment. Basically, it ain't going to happen."

Oh, that makes us very sad. Just last week, we were getting all excited about the return of the Gelflings -- not to mention the prospect of a good, solid fantasy flick. Still, we suppose we have the Lord of the Rings to look forward to...we're hoping that someone out there has it them to make a good film involving puppets, though. Call us crazy, but we think hand-operated bits of foam are making a comeback, what with that goofy sidekick on Farscape and all. In the meantime, tide yourself over by renting the 1982 original.
