"Dark Crystal" Sequel In The Works

The Jim Henson Company will produce a feature film sequel to The Dark Crystal, the 1982 fantasy classic directed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz with conceptual designer Brian Froud, which has remained a fan favorite with consistently strong worldwide home video and DVD sales. The announcement was made by the Company's co-CEOs Brian Henson and Lisa Henson. Odyssey Entertainment will represent the worldwide sales and distribution of the film, beginning immediately at the Cannes Film Festival.
The original screenplay by Annette Duffy and David Odell (the original Dark Crystal, The Muppet Show) is set many years after the events of the first movie. The Power of the Dark Crystal (working title), sees Jen and Kira (the original film's heroes) as King and Queen and guardians of the Crystal who fight to save their kingdom when the Crystal is once again split. Incorporating a hybrid of live action animatronic characters and CG animation, production is expected to commence in fall of 2005. Lisa Henson and Kristine Belson will produce with Brian Henson, Ralph Kamp and Louise Goodsill serving as Executive Producers.
"The Dark Crystal created its own world. We are now going to fully explore this universe through the sequel film, which will be followed up with an animated series as well as interactive games and other media," said Lisa Henson. "Knowing the franchise's worldwide appeal, we're thrilled to leverage Odyssey's expertise in family entertainment within the independent film-sales community."
Brian Henson said, "With The Jim Henson Company celebrating its 50th anniversary, The Power of the Dark Crystal is a wonderful tribute to our legacy of fantasy projects. The original film set a new standard for the genre and broke new ground in visual effects. We hope to honor its devoted fans with an exciting new chapter in this great adventure."
Ralph Kamp and Louise Goodsill said, "It's a real treat to be able to offer our distribution partners the opportunity to join forces with The Jim Henson Company as they re-imagine one of the best-loved jewels in their crown."
A Brief Synopsis of the Film... When Jen and Kira welcome a fiery and unexpected visitor to their castle they learn that the very existence of the U-mun people, who live in the searing heat of the centre of the earth, is threatened by the death of their sun. There is apparently only one thing powerful enough to heal the ailing star - a shard of the Crystal.
The Gelflings flatly refuse the request for a fragment and the desperate visitor takes matters into her own hands and steals one, making a hasty escape through tunnels deep in the bowels of the castle. So begins an adventure that will see love and goodness triumph over evil and re-introduce cinema-goers to a host of indelible characters including the mystic Ur-sol, Aughra the one-eyed seer, the evil Skeksis and their crab-like and violent Garthim foot soldiers.

Amusant l'idée de Jen et Kira devenus roi et reine.
A noter qu'à l'instar du premier, David Odell est co-scénariste, ce qui est une bonne nouvelle ! Et aux dires du rejeton de Henson, producteur exécutif, le film devrait mélanger images de synthèse et marionnettes "animatroniquées" (ça ne s'invente pas), ce qui devrait permettre de retrouver le feeling de l'original.

Vu dans les news du site officiel de Brian Froud:

Brian Henson est en phase finale de négociation avec Brian Froud pour que ce dernier soit à nouveau en charge du design dans Dark Crystal 2 (excellente nouvelle!).

d'accord avec toi, les suites sont le plus souvent bien inférieures à l'original, pour ne pas dire plus... Il y a 99% de chances que celle-ci n'ait pas la magie unique du premier opus. Mais cette initiative est quand même une nouvelle agréable pour ceux comme moi qui admirent le travail de la Jim Henson Creature's Shop, surtout si elle est épaulée par le génie de Brian Froud. Entre Dark Crystal, Labyrinthe et Monstres et Merveilles, l'équipe a fait ses preuves.
Bref, au moins sur un plan visuel, le film ne devrait pas être un échec.

Personnellemnt, ça m'a fait roylament chier ce dark crystal...c'est long, ça se répète, l'esthétique (bon, là c'est un gout pero,mais j'ai le droit de le dire hein) est à la limite de me dégouter...
Alors la suite...hum.
Maintenant vous pouvez jetter des cailloux.
