Dark Crystal Sequel Announced

Back in 2005, The Jim Henson Company announced a sequel to the Dark Crystal movie titled "Power of the Dark Crystal", but due to a bunch of pre-production setbacks the project got put on hold until now.

Apparently the script has been rewritten by screenwriter Craig Pearce ("Moulin Rouge!", "Romeo + Juliet"), and producer Lisa Henson says that the film is ready to go. Unfortunately fans of the previous film will still have to wait until 2011 for the film to make it to the big screen.

Now if they would only come out with a Labyrinth sequel or something. David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly aren't too old that they couldn't come back for another movie.
