"The Dark Crystal" is a 1982 fantasy film by Jim Henson and Frank Oz which must have been a favourite to many. The story itself related about another planet in another time about 1000 years ago. When the Dark Crystal is damaged by a Urskek an age of chaos begins. Jen the last of the Gelfings nearly exterminated by monsters controlled by the Skekses starts his dangerous journey to find the missing shard of the crystal.
Now, 25 years later, a second film is to be produced. It was SFX, a science fiction and fantasy magazine based in Britain, that brought the news out. Rumours had been floating the net for a while now and although it seemed that nothing would become of it, they now got a confirmation that a sequel will indeed be filmed. It was The Henson Company itself who confirmed the news.
The following statement came from Lisa Henson, the company's co-CEO and producer of the film: "The Jim Henson Company remains committed to producing "Power of the Dark Crystal". The film has not been 'cancelled' or 'put on hiatus' or any of the other rumored status changes that have been floating around. This film is an ambitious undertaking for us and it continues to move forward as we work to secure the financing and distribution that a project of this scope requires; and yes, these are factors that will most likely have an impact the production timeline. We are grateful to the fans who support Power of the Dark Crystal and we are excited to make this new chapter in the Dark Crystal story a reality."
The sequel, entitled "Power of the Dark Crystal", will be directed by Genndy Tartakovsky. A detailed synopsis is already available online. asically the new film will be set many years after the events of the first movie. Jen and Kira have now become King and Queen and guardians of the Crystal. But they can't prevent the Crystal to split again.
The movie will incorporate a hybrid of live action animatronic characters and CG animation. And in the line of the Star Wars prequels, you may expect an introduction to the first film as well, albeit under the form of a manga. Titled "Legends of the Dark Crystal", it is scheduled for publication by TokyoPop on November 13, 2007. The manga is written by Barbara Randall Kesel, with art by Max Kim. The story will be set hundreds of years before the story in "The Dark Crystal", and before the Great Extermination.
Time to tell your kids about the first chapter and then rush to the cinema in about one or two years from now I guess to see the second part !
