Labyrinth sequel from Nosferatu director



After Oscar nods for Nosferatu, director Robert Eggers has been confirmed to write and direct a sequel to Jim Henson's Labyrinth.

The original cult classic fantasy film, which starred the late David Bowie as Jareth the Goblin King and teenage crush Jennifer Connelly as teenager Sarah Williams, has never had a sequel or a remake.

However, Labyrinth spawned an official video game (I vividly remember playing the tie-in video game on Commodore 64 whilst listening to David Bowie and Trevor Jones' soundtrack) and comic books and speculation surrounding a new film has been rife for decades with Fede Álvarez, who most recently directed Alien: Romulus, previously linked.

Home Alone director Chris Columbus and his daughter Eleanor will produce the sequel, while Lisa and Brian Henson, children of the late The Muppets creator, will executive produce, according to Variety.

What are your thoughts on a Labyrinth sequel? Let me know in the comments below.
