THE DARK CRYSTAL SEQUEL
BRIAN FROUD IN DISCUSSION WITH THE JIM HENSON COMPANY- UPDATED NEWS!
Response from Froud fans at Comic-Con and Faerieworlds to the news that a DARK CRYSTAL sequel was in development at the Jim Henson Company was overwhelmingly enthusiastic. Fans were thrilled to hear that Brian Froud was involved and that (as in the original classic film) puppets will again be used and now complemented by numerous technologies not available twenty years ago. Brian will visit the Henson studios in Los Angeles this month to present his initial concept drawings and to meet with the director, writers and development team. Stay tuned to World of Froud for breaking news on this exciting and long awaited event.

Fans were also relieved and considerably less cynical that at least someone involved with the first film was within ten miles of production, and that the new owner of Henson Films wasn't just simply doing an Audrey Geisel graverobbing of any title-recognition property they happened to own.

First off, I totally agree with what you said. Secondly, your Audrey Geisel analogy was brilliant and well deserved. Her prostitution of her husband's works isn't done to keep his memory alive, it's done to make her just that much richer. And Gawdalmighty, did Cat in the Hat ever SUCK!!!
