Dark Crystal sequel directors Peter and Michael Spierig keep it real with muppets

BRISBANE film-making twins Peter and Michael Spierig will emulate industry pioneer Jim Henson by creating hundreds of puppets for the sequel to the Muppet creator's 1980s classic fantasy, The Dark Crystal.

In a cinema world hooked on digital effects, the directors of Queensland-shot movies such as Daybreakers and Undead are keeping it real for The Power of the Dark Crystal 3D.

Puppets will return to repopulate the late Henson's magical world of "Gelflings", "Podlings" and "Landstriders".

"Where we can, we're keeping to the spirit of Henson," said Peter Spierig speaking from the Woolloongabba production house the brothers have established.

The Spierig brothers are just two of the brilliant Queenslanders featured in Qweekend's annual 50 Best and Brightest issue in Saturday's Courier-Mail.

One of the most ambitious film projects ever produced in Australia, The Power of the Dark Crystal 3D will run the gamut of audiences growing sceptical about remakes.

"We went to a convention not so long ago and we had a number of people come up and say, 'Don't you dare rape my childhood'," said Peter. "When one person says that, you take it on board. But when a bunch of people say it, you think, 'Wow, this really means something to them'."

"So the last thing we want to do is screw it up," Michael adds.

I fully blame Star Wars fans for popularizing it.

Didn't you get the memo about all sequels retroactively making originals suck, JP?

Remember The Dark Crystal sequel, Bart? Well it's back... but in comic book form.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/he...y-coming-life-thanks-comic-book-series-949591

After more than three decades, it's finally time to return to the world of Thra, with BOOM! Studios announcing a sequel to Jim Henson and Frank Oz's fantasy movie The Dark Crystal, based on plans for the movie follow-up that never happened.
The 12-issue series, titled The Power of the Dark Crystal will be adapted by British writer Si Spurrier from an unproduced screenplay by David Odell, Annette Odell and Craig Pearce, with art by Kelly and Nichole Matthews. The cover for the first issue comes from the Eisner Award-winning Jae Lee, with colors by June Chung.
The series is set decades after events of 1982's The Dark Crystal, with Jen and Kira distracted by the pressures of ruling Thra and no longer in touch with the needs of the people — which provokes a Fireling called Thurma to set out to steal a shard of the Dark Crystal with which she intends to restore power to her realm. Unfortunately, that mission might also restore the Skeksis, as well…
The origins of Power lie in 2005, when the Jim Henson Company originally announced plans to develop a sequel to the original movie, with Genndy Tartakovsky and Brian Froud attached to the project at various times during the process, which included partnering with Australian production company Omnilab Media. As recently as 2014, the project was still being discussed as being in active, if slow, development.

So, Muppets out, illustrators in?

Sad to hear it won't be coming to life. Really wanted to have another solid Henson company fantasy film. But at least we'll get to experience the story.
