is executive producing. Derrickson is executive producing with his frequent collaborator C. Robert Cargill.
Blanca Lisa, VP of feature film production, is shepherding the project for The Jim Henson Company.Derrickson is represented by WME, Brillstein Entertainment Partners and Ziffren Brittenham. Levin is repped by WME, Brillstein and Gang Tyre. Cargill is repped by Brillstein.
That old theory about all the goblins being the kids that *werent* saved and an endless string of “Sarah’s” might actually come true.
The only one that can replace Bowie is Tom Waits. It would make sense to be his father.
No Bowie means NO
If the guy is talented enough to get the job writing the sequel, then hire him to write ANYTHING ELSE! Nomoreafterthoughtsequels
I wish something like this could happen but it’s too late now. ☹️
OMG, this makes me happy!
I will be looking for anyone to let me help out on this film
letterboxd Ugh
No one could ever close to the magic and perfection of Bowie But if I had to pick someone, Norman Reedus normanreedus wwwbigbaldhead would make a delicious Goblin King. He's got that same 'otherworldly' quality. styleking
Brendon Urie as the new Goblin King PLEASE 😭
letterboxd It’s not too early to stop that madness.
I've never seen the Labyrinth, but I'm here to offer my support against sequels to already perfectly stand alone movies
Some things are better left alone
dragonlady474 Exciting! 😁👍🏼
librophile85 Seraphette falderal KatieWhoCanRead aaaa
I'm in only if its Jemaine Clement doing Bowie as the Goblin King
No Bowie, no deal.
This time Michael Jackson then
Stop..... just stop
I’m sorry, this is not allowed without the presence of the Goblin King.
Please leave this story alone. Strongly don’t want this.
Hozier your dream casting has arrived. I really hope they stick to Terry Jones and Brian Frouds spirit. brianfroud design was so important. This movie means so much to many.
wasnt the original a flop 😭
I mean, at least it's a sequel and not a remake. But still, why?
MartinGoss
The Dark Crystal series was pretty good...
CorranFox Never seen Labyrinth myself... Didn't even hear about it till maybe 7 years ago on Tumblr.. But as far as I understand it, David Bowie and Jim Henson were kinda the entire point.. So, without either of them, why..?
_NickPix
No fucking way !! Leave that beautiful and classic film alone. Wankers in Hollywood
No
Nope
Ok but you have to tell us who the GK is I beg of you
😍😍😍
No! Just. No. No no no no no no. And I say with no disrespect to Scott or Maggie. No no no no no no no. No.
Omg I'm not sure how I feel about this. Why? Money? It was a masterpiece, and is legendary, we still watch it now. Seems wrong without Bowie too.
PressleyIs are you OK?
Please stop ruining great films. Just because you can do remakes, stop and think Should I be doing this as a remake. The answer is a big fat NO. It's part of the charm of the films.
Have you seen this ScarletteDrake ? Why does the phrase ‘jumping the shark’ spring to mind?
After the loss of David Bowie and Jim Henson I’m apprehensive about the idea of a sequel atkinson_calvin FourTablesMTG syracrow NickyWhat
WRONG!! This is wrong!!! Leave our childhood memories alone and stop tainting them with remakes, reboots and sequels that don't exist FOR A GOOD REASON! Get your own bloody ideas!!!!!!!
Is Tilda Swinton portraying Jareth this time?
NO ONE WANTS THAT
Really? Again... leave the classics alone 😞
nope. some things are sacred.
jc, i'm sorry but 34 years is too late for a sequel, and it was perfect and beautiful as it was. leave it alone. make something new.
I never thought to hope for a Labyrinth sequel so I’m more than ready for one, even without Bowie. If it bombs, the original isn’t going anywhere.
That would make Ludo sad
Surely DannyJohnJules would want to be onboard for this one, pleeeeeease 🥺🙏🙏
Yey!! Finally!
I'm so excited for this, yet so apprehensive at the same time. I hope he can to it justice.
Please no- anything but this
Are the Fireys coming back? Cause then my nightmares are too.
AWESOME!!
No. Please no. Labyrinth is one of my all time favorite movies. There's no Bowie and it just wont be the same. Leave it be. Not everything has to be a remake. It's ok to be original.
why?
Definitely need a awesome singer
Hhmm..
th3s0ap here we go
I'm not saying Scott is a bad director, but didn't we get poor reviews on Dr. Sleep? Why are they handing him another sequel to a classic film that binds with all our universal childhood?
Lot of hate for this, and it was my first reaction too, but let’s see what they do. I thought a Toy story sequel was a bad idea and was proved wrong. As always, it will come down to execution. Cautiously optimistic.
Um is a cosplay I did actually topical?
So...CGI Bowie with Tilda Swinton motion capture🤔
CashGrab
Right on!
for me to poop on
Goblin King?
amuseoffyre !!
Seriously scottderrickson DM me, I can do most of the voices, grew up on labyrinth! Let me do my part to help make it as awesome as possible!
Excuse me while I meditate on this development while nonchalantly juggling two crystal orbs in one hand.
rosiebedford derangedivine a sequel without Bowie? Wat
I want to hear all the fan casts 🤩
JBenadom 🤔
Get Tilda Swinton in there in any capacity possible
Wont be tha same
Noice!!!
It ain't gonna work without Bowie
socialcat_hrine !!!!!!
Just don't bring back Jared!! That character belongs to Bowie and it should be keep that way. Bring another character or expand the lore. Example: a fairy queen or a elf warrior.
Dang. I last read Fede Alvarez and I was 100% for that.
Dark Crystal had an AMAZING NETFLIX show decades after the movie. With the right creative team anything can work.
We don’t want it.
Another classic film that doesn't need a sequel. Hard pass.
But guys... David Bowie. Also Jim Henson.
Hasn't 2020 been bad enough?!?!
Ewww... NO.
How about yall come up with new ideas and stories
No... Just no.
Please make this one not suck.
No, no, no, no, no...nope, just back away slowly. Go create your own world and your own characters. There's no need for another bastardized film.
I'm literally going to cry.
Thanks but it won’t be good enough sorry
NO!
Do not do this.
Really? Bowie wanted to do a sequel for years and they kept saying no. Now hes gone and they want to do it.........
Sir Didymus and Ambrosius have already said, 'No Bowie, no movie.'
don’t you fucking dare
Nooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't F this up... I don't wanna turn TOXIC!!! 😡😛
no
If the alternative is Russell Brand I am OUT.
Stop ruining my favourite childhood movies. No Bowie, no Labyrinth. It’ll loose it’s beautiful 80s authenticity... don’t mess with classics. I’m devastated by this news.
DanielRPK KatieFairbanks8
No Bowie. Enough said.
No Bowie leaves me worried, especially because (I imagine) most fans of the movie only know of it because of him. But if Jennifer Connelly is reached and comes back for more than a but part, they'd have my ticket stub.
Whhhh... why
How dumb and unnecessary...come up with new ideas Hollywood!!! You're so unoriginal
Please tell me that you're at least following the story line for the sequel graphic novels 'Return to the Labyrinth' as that story was a good sequel and actually wasn't too bad.
Who wants to bet the new big bad is female? At the very least, it'll be a minority cast against a white villain. 😂
no thanks
Sequel...yes...? ManMadeMoon thoughts?
ok but what if they didn’t do that
For haven's sake why?
Harry Styles as Jareth pls
Will Jennifer Connolly star?
No. No, no, no, no, no. Please no. It doesn't need a sequel & even if it's fairly decent, without David Bowie & Jim Henderson (& I assume Jennifer Connolly's involvement) it's existence will diminish the original. Have a 'spritual' successor by all means, but not a direct sequel.
Not sure how I feel about this...
Yessssss
Treat this with respect and dignity. Don’t worry so much about treading a new path, focus on the nostalgic moments that made this movie what it is today. The feeling.
Uhm... how does a sequel happen without the Goblin King?! I'm super nervous about this right now.
RealClownfishTV
luftballoons 🙂
NO.
This is legit my fave movie ever please don’t fuck it up the only person I will accept to take Bowie’s place as jareth is Harry_Styles
Is Labyrinth even in need of a sequel Hell naw
It’s gonna suck! Stop with this sequel/prequel remake bull shit!!
P.S. David Lynch wants his hair back.
NOOOOOOoooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooOOOOOOoooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo! No.
Were people asking for this?
Ah, another sequel we don't need.
Labyrinth without Bowie doesn’t work. Count me out.
Why? WHY?
Leave these classics alone
as much as I loathe these types of hollywood nostalgia money grabs and have a hard time seeing this function w/o Bowie it should be noted that the Henson family looks to be all in here and have done a fine job carrying their father's torch thus far 🤷♂️
Please just get this right...for the 8yo in me...for David....for Didymus, Ludo, and Hoggle
Dear Hollywood, STOP MAKING SEQUELS AND MAKE ORIGINAL CONTENT. (ps. How the heck do you think anything Labyrinth is worth doing without BOWIE, Henson, or Lucas Is brianfroud at least attached in any way?) Sincerely, THE ENTIRE WORLD
Any Labyrinth fan needs this for there collection
That director and that writer? You have my ATTENTION!
Please, no. Please, please, please, no. I grew up on this film. It's in my top 5 of all time films. Please just leave this one alone. No Bowie = no Goblin King = no Underground
NO
lacyfield
No!
Pretty sure we can have another sizeable actor fill Bowie’s codpiece. Sorry, shoes.
I'll just buy a ticket for the maze scenes.
Sam Corlett for Bowie
Hollywood! Please stop making every good movie and book into a franchise. Be brave and invest in original content!
Who cares? More important things are happening in the world right now.
No. Just no. 😭
NOOOOO!!!!! No Bowie
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo DON'T YOU DARE FU(K WITH LABYRINTH!
lady_rakuyo what do you think babe? 🤓🤔
Hollywood sure has turned regurgitation into a money-making racket.
BeaCaicoya qué te parece esto
LarpHouse
So we’re all gonna just pretend this is a real person and not Ira Glass with a goatee? Sheesh.
Rachael1918 I need to know your opinion...
echomike21 L would love this
Can you not? Without Bowie, there is no point.
NOPE
Umm no Bowie (RIP), then It’s no good before it even starts
Well according to the story Toby grows up and becomes the Goblin King. So THEORETICALLY........this could work without Bowie
At first, I thought it was Pan’s Labyrinth.
No, please don’t ruin my childhood, nothing will beat the original rip David ❤️
Hard pass for me 💯✌🏻
First Covid-19 now this.
jackystjames cheriedeville
ThisIsJessPaul 🥴
The sequel nobody has asked for, the sequel nobody wants...
No and hell no!!!
cherry_vane Ou vai incrível ou vai ser um flop saçojasjoças
Well the Star Wars updates were exactly what we all wanted as was the last Indiana Jones... Poltergeist, The Fog, Annie, Ghostbusters, Mummy, and plenty more. Stop mining our childhoods, create something new for the kids of today, they deserve originality, they deserve better.
QTpieeeee123 im so tired of these unnecessary sequels...
No just No. I love him as a director but this movie doesn’t need a damn sequel or remake. Jesus Christ this is getting old. If they try and do Princess Bride I am done lol
please leave this movie alone!!!!
They need to leave this one alone. There is no Bowie and no Jim Henson. There also is no old school, non-CGI production anymore.
If Connelly comes back...maybe it will have a chance. Otherwise, don’t need it. Leave well enough alone.
Not sure how I feel or that it is really needed.
GraceRandolph
And just when we thought things couldn't possibly get worse in the world now this! No Bowie no sequel.
Let's not and say we didn't.
Inevitable and depressing. Labyrinth is a stand-alone. Besides, they should've called me, to do it properly . . .
Dance, magic, dance. Sarrrrrraaaaah Frrrrriiiiieeeend. Queue the rolling stone friends. Lovely revival of a wondrously playful and silly movie. Though the 80's version will always stand by itself, it's a fun thought for a new one. Thank you for you. God Bless, John German
no
Oh Hell NO! Leave it alone. Labyrinth was one of my fave movies of all time and you can't do it without Bowie.
Yes!!!! Favorite moving growing up. Can’t wait!!!
Pretty simple just don't support it.
Please cast ladygaga as Jereth, the Goblin King.
Only if tilda swinton is cast as jarreth.....
But no Bowie.......how can this be? They better do it justice that’s ALL I’m gonna say.
Yeah, fuck that guy. Sacrilege.
No
Yay scottderrickson !!!
No. I will not watch this. Save the money and reboot a film that needed better writing/directing/acting/CGI/whatever.
No thank you.
Noooooooooooo
No Bowie No Sequel
Labyrinth is my absolute favorite movie of all time...but this is so unnecessary
This project is way more interesting than Dr. Strange 2.
Noooooooo! Is nothing sacred?!
This could totally work and I am extremely excited!! Hope you bring back Jennifer Connelly and really deliver the goods on this one. Please don’t let us down! 👊
why? just why can't we come up with brand new original ideas?
'Why?' -Frank Oz
No! No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no. No NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO ABSOLUTELY NOT NO NO NO NO ABSOLUTELY NOT NO
Scriptwriter is an SJW with pronouns in her bio. I'll be extremely surprised if it doesn't suck balls.
Hot damn!
Why even? Bowie is dead, Henson is dead, and the movie is like 30+ years old. I'm so tired of sequels. MAKE SOMETHING NEW. Goddamn.
The only person that can do Bowie justice in that roll would be ladygaga. She can be the Goblin Queen.
No Bowie, no problem!
So Jennifer Connely reprises her role? Maybe her daughter gets pulled into the labyrinth to save her father but back in time when her father was a boy? And that boy is Atreyu! Hey, it could work. Just think of the cross-market merchandising revenues.
No thanks.
Are we summoning David Bowie & Jim Henson from the grave? No? Then I don’t want it.
I can't imagine labyrinth without bowie! But I would HAVE to watch it for that exact reason
Why?
Great I have been waiting most unpleasantly.
Make something new instead of trying to cash in on something that is beloved.
It is my fave film. I hope the remake would impress me even more🦋🦋🦋
🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
I'm already really looking forward to never watching this.
The hardest of fucking passes in the history of passes. Fuck this.
Hope this really gets made!!
Lol no
I love Labyrinth! And still watch it!! Of course the second won’t be the same but that doesn’t mean it won’t be amazing in its own way! I’m excited, can’t wait!
To bad David Bowie cant come back as the King i loved him in that movie. He was the best part of the film.
nope. fuck this idea.
Who could they possibly cast as the Goblin King...
While it may be tricky to pull this off without Bowie, I’m actually really excited for this!! It’s my favorite movie and I can’t wait for people in my generation to love it as much as I do!!!!
Stop making sequels nobody asked for
NOPE! Original is all I'll watch! My kids watch and my grand kids will watch! JUST LIKE GOONIES, GREMLINS, STAND BY ME...
In other news, Hollywood can't do anything original any more.
How about ladygaga as some sort of successor or daughter of Jareth? Just a thought.
Why must Hollywood desecrate every perfect thing?! STOP!
Wait is this the one where Bowie plays the pedo trying to steal away the girl?
Awesome!
Um what?!
Keep it
Hard pass, no Bowie, no thank you.
Total awesomeness
How dare you.
adamlambert 🌻
NOOOOOOOO
Nope. Need Bowie. If you're gonna bring a Henson property back how about some more Farscape?
No.
No Bowie. No Labyrinth. Full stop
No thank you. Hollywood really doesn’t have a good track record at the moment. Better give it another decade.
thebillyporter for Jareth gets my vote. ❤️
Just last night I seen this comment while watching scenes on YT, then I wake up to this. Literally what
OMG.
As long as they don't recast Jareth, he is in another realm now, this could be OK. Having new foil created and take his place maybe just sort of imposable. Also, who is going to have the balls to say I'm as good a DavidBowie. labyrinth2 labyrinthsequel
Boooooooooo
Stop it! Just stop all these sequel madness !
Massawyrm scottderrickson I had a friend who was hospitalized and things were pretty rough. I couldn’t visit her but I was allowed to send a care package. The only thing she wanted: Labyrinth and some peanut M&Ms. High hopes the remake is as good (better?!) than the original ❤️
thanks i already hate it.
stevezaragoza
People who asked: nobody.
WHYYYYYYYY? Leave it alone... please!
No, that with all that CGI ruining it!
Please don't
Yeah please no
no ❤️
Soooo... is Toby the Goblin King now? I mean, this has to be a time jump so that we're not disrespecting the memory of Jareth, right?
Ugh. Stop, Hollywood.
please don’t do this don’t ruin it like this
EliAvaSaydemom tell Raken !
Can we summon the Goblin King to come take this sequel away?
RyOnRye
Please don’t
Only if TildaSwinton plays the Goblin Queen.
No
No Jim Henson, No David Bowie- Whats the point?
It's only forever, not long at all
No one asked for this
DanielRPK Unless Jennifer Connelly is in it, I don't care.
The opening shot of the original was filmed in Upper Nyack proud to say! VisitNyack
I’m not saying it can’t be done, but you better f*****g know what you’re doing. This is a vary special movie to a lot of people. Do NOT fill it with political/social statements. Keep the message simple but endearing. And for goodness sake, don’t do the “kids of the old cast” bit.
Can't they do anything original any more?
robertliefeld Great... so let me guess the goonies 2 and the princess bride 2 are on the way as well... why cant you just leave good things alone. No Bowie? Yeah sorry.. but this is a HUGE NO for me anyways.
I bet this is gonna be an absolute disaster
tonywolfness Why is the movie industry so damned intent on destroying happy memories of movie magic with their lame sequels and/or reboots? You cannot recapture the magic when the magic makers have died.
IneDeJonge ZONDER BOWIE IS ER GEEN LABYRINTH!
I read Pans Labrinth and was about to go on a rant
TriStar? I thought it would be Disney property via Lucasfilm.
Why
No thank you very much.
NO! Stop destroying my childhood with half-baked sequels. I even met Jennifer Connelly once. And she'd disapprove.
NO WAY. Without Bowie, without Jim Henson? oh the ego....
jtimsuggs
Bowie was the heart of the original. I don’t think a sequel without him will have the same power.
Don't you fucking dare
We waited too long for a sequel, without Bowie there's just no point. Less Nostalgia Cash-ins and more original ideas thank you.
Jennifer Connolly is back, I hope?
aww hell yea! bring these guys back
I don't understand doing a sequel without David Bowie. If it were a remake, I'd understand, since you could bring in new ideas and visuals to it, plus it'd make sense to recast Jareth, but a sequel?
How about no?
I...am I excited? YES! But...BOWIE? 🥺 Too many feels, I’m scared, please don’t ruin my childhood memories please please feature lots of real puppets etc!
Are you bringing back Jennifer Connelly!
Puppets or bust!
If Bowie were in it, it would be amazing, but i shall watch and see the development and the idea. Not shutting the door yet to a much loved film.
Labyrinth died the minute David Bowie passed away.
Iggy pop for Jareth the Goblin king. Get IggyPop bowie approved
Without Bowie? Yeah, nah.
Ohhhhh VERY cool!
I’m wary of anything made this long after the first film. Plus, someone should be looking into new things the Jim Henson company can apply themselves to. Continuing on previous endeavors should not be the only thing available to them. There is so much room for new content!
Another nostalgia cash grab sequel? And with Bowie already dead?
robertliefeld God dammit.
ORenanSampaio
robertliefeld That’s a hell of an upgrade from the doctor strange sequel. Wow.
straight up
fuertecito
Will Jennifer Connelly be returning in this film?
FlozWife
Awesome. Can’t wait to see your Vision
Labyrinth w/o Bowie?...Hard pass.
