Check That: ‘Labyrinth’ Sequel Might Not Be In The Works After All
Last week we spotted a curious little bit of information in an article by Variety that seemed to indicate that, along with the new Fraggle Rock and Dark Crystal movies we’ve heard about, The Jim Henson Company was also working on a sequel to their 1986 fan-favorite Labyrinth…something no one else had ever heard about.
It seemed odd that not another peep about this sequel was to be found anywhere on the internet, but seeing as how it was Variety, we ran with it while also warning that it could turn out to be a misunderstanding. And as it turns out, sadly, this might be the case after all. According to Entertainment Weekly, sources have told them that a sequel is not being developed at the moment.

Jim Henson Co. Developing ‘Labyrinth’ Sequel; Billy Crystal To Star In ‘Which Witch’
Variety is reporting that The Jim Henson Company has brought in the great Billy Crystal to write, produce, and star in an upcoming animated feature of theirs titled Which Witch. But it’s another teeny tiny bit of information that really stands out.

Disney Acquires Pitch For ‘Labyrinth’ Remake… But Not Really
Disney has acquired a pitch for a new movie titled Labyrinth, an action/adventure story that follows a mythical princess as she enters a complex and dangerous labyrinth in hopes of finding and saving her father.
Upon first reading this description it’s quite difficult not to immediately picture the 1986 Jim Henson movie of the same name, which followed a young girl as she enters a complex and dangerous labyrinth in hopes of finding and rescuing her baby brother. But no indication is given that this new movie, which was pitched by Black List screenwriter Larry Brenner, is actually a remake, despite how similar it sounds.
