Netflix is Making a The Dark Crystal TV Series

Based on the 1982 Jim Henson movie:

This is like a warning beacon with a Rubin Farr sillouette lighting up the night sky

I trust Netflix and the Jim Henson company won't fuck it up.

I do remember the film though. Watched it back in '94.

This was my favorite movie as a kid for a long time so it still has a lot of emotional resonance with me.  Definitely won't be watching the series. I don't trust the Jim Henson company a bit, they've done some pretty mediocre stuff since Henson died and even the good stuff is completely missing the spirit of Henson's own work.

It's the difference between Fraggle Rock and Dinosaurs.

Netflix VP of Content Cindy Holland said the series "will combine the art of puppetry perfected by the Jim Henson Company... with a mix of cutting-edge digital imagery and visual effects." Translation: don't get too excited about the practical effects because there will definitely be VFX in there.

Of course there will! Probably just gonna throw this in the pile on top of the rest of the mediocre nostalgurbation reboots of the past few years. What happened to having original ideas?? Why we gotta just remake fucking everything?

this and krull
