There are a lot of things that hurt my geek cred, but few of them are as damaging as the fact that I don't like The Dark Crystal. I find it boring and ponderous and more than a little creepy in the "not fun" way.

But millions of people who read this page daily disagree, and I guess they all went out and bought the latest DVD edition of the movie. After all, why else would there be a sequel in the works now, decades later?

That's right - there's a sequel to The Dark Crystal coming, called The Power of the Dark Crystal. The film, to be written by the same dude who wrote the first one, will pick up years after the original, with Jen and Kira king and queen. But the Crystal is split again, so they must do adventursome stuff. The film will be a mix of puppets and CGI, of course.

And it won't end with a movie. Jim Henson Company is bringing The Dark Crystal to TV as an animated series, to computers as interactive games and to your immune system as a nanovirus.

I didn't see this one coming. I thought a sequel to The Dark Crystal was as likely as a third Gremlins film (read: not very likely!).

EDIT: Oops. Didn't see the existing thread.
