The Goblin King's Labyrinth welcomes new guests
Early last year, shortly after the death of David Bowie, Tri-Star contracted The Jim Henson Company to film its own version of Labyrinth ". The studio even hired Nicole Perlman (Guardians of the Galaxy) to write the script. A year has passed and the plans for Tri-Star have undergone some changes.According to the site Deadline , the company is now going to make a film, which will take place in the universe created by Jim Henson in the 1986 film. Thus, the project is more like a spin-off of "Labyrinth" . Jay Basu and Federico Alvarez will be responsible for writing the text of the tape, the latter will subsequently also lead the shooting. The duo, by the way, is currently working on the sequel to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and after it will fully devote their time to the new Labyrinth. The original was the last film for the great Jim Henson . Recall, the tape tells about a teenage girl (Jennifer Connelly), who dreams that her younger brother will disappear somewhere. However, the heroine soon learns that she has only 13 hours to get out of the fairy maze before the Goblin King ( Bowie ) fulfills her wish. Much to the delight of Labyrinth fans, David Bowie will not be featured in the spin-off.  “ Labyrinth is one of those films of my childhood that instilled in me a love of cinema. I am incredibly happy about the opportunity to expand the fascinating universe of Jim Henson and lead a new generation of moviegoers into the labyrinth ", - admitted Federico Alvarez . The new Labyrinth will add variety to the director's filmography - before that he shot horror films with a rating of R . So, his debut in full-length was "Evil Dead: The Black Book", and the horror film "Don't Breathe", released last year, pleasantly surprised critics and brought the studio Sony considerable profit.
