Supposedly The Power of The Dark Crystal is less then a year away from release and we have NO NEWS, NO TEASERS, NO NEW IMAGES, NOTHING.
I have started this thread in hopes that Lisa Henson or The Orphanage or Genndy [the director of the film] himself will release more news.
RELEASE MORE...
I'm tending to believe Cabbageheat that The Power of the Crystal has died a quiet death. Oh well, it was fun to think about it.
The Power of the Crystal is no more :(
I wonder if there will be a teaser trailer for The Power of the Crystal put on the SE of The Dark Crystal? The film is less than a year away now, we should be seeing SOMETHING!
Now, see, to me, I don't like something just because it was made. Those dolls looked NOTHING like the original puppets, aside from their costumes, which were actually well made. Their heads were these bulbous monstrositys that bore no resemblance to their originators. It was quick and shoddy...
How interesting...which points back to my first proposed concern...BUDGET CONSTRAINTS. The fact that Henson wouldn't fly them over points to cost cutting [which isn't always a bad thing]. I'm however quite shocked that Brian & Wendy weren't flown to the USA for a film of this magnitude. On the...
Does anyone have any information that includes Wendy Froud as part of the conceptual designing stages of The Power of the Dark Crystal? I couldn't imagine a DC film without her touch.

I'd love to see more characters from The Dark Crystal, as long as they don't look like those plastic abortions they released, purportedly of Jen and Kira.

I'm not opposed to them using CG backgrounds as matte paintings, but I am opposed to them using CG to create the world in it's entirety, absent of real life sets, swamps, forests, etc...
My fear is that when we see Jen/Kira/Thurma/Kensho interact with their environment, CG Garthim [or what have...
The budget isn't my main concern, my concern is, [which is connected to the budget] the way in which Thra/creatures/gelflings are represented. My faith is divided. I love what Genndy has done in his past, and I am confident in his skills, on the other hand, I've seen MirrorMask, and the story...
100-200 million dollars is outragious and frankly I wouldn't want to see a sequel that expensive. 20-30 million is an adequate budget of a film of this size.
I wish the Jen and Kira dolls were released with as much attention to detail as the UrSkek. Those abominations that were released a few years ago are so far from the original design, I can't believe they made it out of the production line. Bad call there Henson.
I'd like to add this bit....
Special Effect Work...
I'm apprehensive that some of this film will end up looking like the cheaply made effects from the Sci-Fi Channel's Dune series. They followed the story well enough but the production values were poor and ultimately, they produced a film that...
