This was announced more than three years ago Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson would direct a sequel to the classic 1986 fantasy film Labyrinth. It’s been so long that I thought it was one of those Hollywood movie projects that finally got scrapped. But, apparently, this is not the case.
During an interview with CB, Derrickson revealed that the Labyrinth the sequel is still in development, but he has no idea what the status of the project is. He explained:
“I don’t know what’s going on. We never got the script to the point where the studio wanted to make it, but I was very proud of the work we did on it. And it’s hard, hard work.” project to turn into something commercially viable, because it’s so imaginative and surreal that there’s no way to do it cheaply. And at the same time, it’s so bold and different that it’s hard for a studio to feel competent “it has enough commercial value to make a profit. So I think it’s a tough nut to crack, but all I can tell you is I’m very proud of the work we did. We definitely had a fantastic film in mind.”
When asked about moving forward with the project and whether original star David Bowie could play the Goblin King, Derrickson said:
“Since the project is still in development, I probably shouldn’t say what the plans are because I think we had a really cool idea, but I don’t want to deny it in case the movie gets made.”
So even if he has no idea what’s going on with the project, there’s still a chance it could get made. I loved watching the Jim Henson-directed film when I was little, and it has since spawned novels, comics, video games, and even an annual fan masquerade ball, said to be one of the largest in the world. .
The story of the original film follows sixteen-year-old Sarah, who is given thirteen hours to solve a maze and save her little brother Toby when her wish for him to be taken away is granted by the Goblin King Jareth.
Maggie Levinwhich he wrote and directed In the darkness AND My Valentine’s Day for Hulu, he is writing the script for the sequel. Lisa Henson of The Jim Henson Company is producing along with Brian Henson, who is the executive producer. Derrickson will also executive produce the film alongside his frequent collaborator C. Robert Cargill.
If this movie gets made, I hope it gives us another great story!
