Soooo, no news on this since April? Wow. This is dead in the water it seems. I think I'm done getting excited about this. Oh well....moving on.

The Wiki on this states:

Allyson Smith, the Henson Company's VP of New Media, responded to a question on Twitter about the project's status on April 16, 2009:

Development [of the Dark Crystal sequel] moves fwd, paying attention to what will serve fans & DC best. No details to announce. Check henson.com for updates.

So, it seems like another snag, but they want to move forward. Next month's Comic Con should hold more answers. People will be asking. It's just how many times can they pitch the same project before people grow weary from the spin? I just wanna movie.

I have no doubt that this movie is a priority with Henson. It's just like the Fraggle Movie...keeps getting pitched and pushed back. It will happen. I just don't think they're in a hurry. Much of the Jim Henson magic and drive seems missing with the company today. But he was a workaholic. Few people have that sort of gift he did. :smile:

At comic con they said a "couple of years", to follow after the Fraggle movie .. which is on schedule.
The leadership over at Henson seems easily distracted. None of those statements give me confidence that I had before hearing them. In fact, the wording has caused me to lose a bit of faith. :sympathy:
