Boy do we have some news today! Right on the heels of learning about what filmmaker Robert Eggers is working on next- a period piece called “WEREWULF“- we get word of another project.
Apparently, Eggers will be directing a long-rumored sequel to “Labyrinth” for TriStar. Note, this is a SEQUEL, not a remake, reboot, or reimagining.
This is the third director attached to the sequel. Previously, “Alien: Romulus” helmer Fede Álvarez was working on one. Then in 2017, “Scott Derrickson (“Doctor Strange,” “The Black Phone“) was going to direct from a script by (his now wife) Maggie Levin.
Eggers will write the script along with his frequent collaborator, Icelandic poet Sjón.
No word on possible production timeline yet, plot or story, or casting.
Our hope is still for Tilda Swinton. Who else could fill the Goblin King role originated by the late great David Bowie?
This story is developing…
Mary Anne Butler
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
