The director of 'Doctor Strange' will lead a sequel to the beloved 1986 fantasy film 'Labyrinth'.
The upcoming sequel to Jim Henson 's 1986 fantasy classic, Labyrinth , will be helmed by director Scott Derrickson , known for his work on films like Sinister and Doctor Strange. The movie will be a true continuation of the story, rather than a remake, and is being written by Derrickson alongside his frequent collaborator, Sjón.
The original Labyrinth starred Jennifer Connelly as Sarah, a teenage girl who must navigate a fantastical labyrinth to rescue her baby brother from the clutches of the Goblin King, played by the iconic David Bowie. While the film wasn't a massive commercial success upon its release, it has gained a devoted cult following over the years, particularly among fans of fantasy and dark whimsy. This sequel will delve deeper into the Labyrinth universe, expanding upon the existing mythology established in the original film. It marks the first full-fledged sequel for the Labyrinth franchise, joining other beloved '80s films that have received legacy sequels in recent years. This resurgence in interest in classic fantasy films is likely due to their enduring appeal and the nostalgia they evoke in audiences. Derrickson's involvement, coupled with the film's unique premise, promises a fresh and exciting take on this beloved story
