POWER OF THE DARK CRYSTAL Crystallizes In 3D

Jim here. POWER OF THE DARK CRYSTAL is set to be unleashed in stereoscopic 3D as a sequel to the Jim Henson children's classic THE DARK CRYSTAL (1982).

The Speirig Brothers (Michael and Peter) are directing. These are the guys that brought us the refreshing look at vampires in DAYBREAKERS, so it is an interesting departure for them to dolly up for kids' fare. Certainly I am expecting an edge to the production!

Set hundreds of years after the events of the first movie when the world has once again fallen into darkness, “Power of the Dark Crystal” follows the adventures of a mysterious girl made of fire who, together with a Gelfling outcast, steals a shard of the legendary Crystal in an attempt to reignite the dying sun that exists at the center of the planet.

Have you seen the original movie made with Jim Henson's puppetry magic?
