Well, the trend of celebrating blasts of the past is set to continue, as director Jim Henson and writer Terry Jones&#8217; beloved &#8217;80s fantasy flick &#8220;Labyrinth&#8221; arrives on November 7.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Labyrinth&#8221; tells the story of Sarah (Jennifer Connelly), a teenage girl who unwittingly wishes her baby stepbrother into the clutches of the Goblin King, Jareth (David Bowie), who gives her 13 hours to win him back. With time running out before her sibling becomes a goblin forever, Sarah must navigate Jareth&#8217;s eponymous maze and overcome the creatures, swamps, and other dangers that lurk within it to get him back to safety.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Henson and Jones&#8217; film is a whimsical musical adventure that boasts exquisite productive designs and a terrific selection of animatronic puppets, anchored around a story that is rife with imagination and wonder. What&#8217;s more, the film arrives at a great time on Netflix, as it will introduce a new generation of film fans to this spellbinding world before the sequel comes to fruition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Read more: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.slashfilm.com\/1820722\/best-a24-horror-movies-ranked\/?zsource=yahoo\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The 15 Best A24 Horror Movies, Ranked;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">The 15 Best A24 Horror Movies, Ranked<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">The director of Nosferatu is working on a Labyrinth sequel<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Nosferatu lurking in the shadows in &#8220;Nosferatu&#8221; &#8211; Focus Features<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.slashfilm.com\/1439653\/is-labyrinth-2-happening-director-scott-derrickson-answer\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:&quot;Labyrinth 2&quot; was announced in 2016, with Scott Derrickson tapped to direct the fantasy sequel;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">&#8220;Labyrinth 2&#8221; was announced in 2016, with Scott Derrickson tapped to direct the fantasy sequel<\/a>. However, &#8220;The Black Phone&#8221; helmer has since parted ways with the project, and another horror auteur has stepped in to replace him. As of this writing, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.slashfilm.com\/1770096\/nosferatu-director-robert-eggers-jim-henson-labyrinth-sequel\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:&quot;Nosferatu&quot; director Robert Eggers is on board to bring &quot;Labyrinth 2&quot; to life;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">&#8220;Nosferatu&#8221; director Robert Eggers is on board to bring &#8220;Labyrinth 2&#8221; to life<\/a>, but we might have to wait a minute for film to see the light of day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Eggers is arguably the best fantasy director working in Hollywood at the moment, with movies like &#8220;The Northman&#8221; and &#8220;The Witch&#8221; showcasing his unparalleled ability to bring otherworldly tales to the screen. Being the in-demand filmmaker that he is, though, Eggers isn&#8217;t exactly short of projects to work on, and his current priorities are &#8220;Werewulf&#8221; and (possibly) an adaptation of Charles Dickens&#8217; &#8220;A Christmas Carol.&#8221; As such, &#8220;Labyrinth 2&#8221; might have to be put on the backburner until is project slate is clear.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Only time will tell if &#8220;Labyrinth 2&#8221; will make it to the screen, but the long-gestating sequel&#8217;s association with modern horror&#8217;s most exciting filmmakers suggests that the plan is to retain the original&#8217;s dark sensibilities. &#8220;Labyrinth 2&#8221; doesn&#8217;t seem like anyone&#8217;s priority project at the minute, but the original film gaining a fresh wave of momentum on Netflix might speed up the process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If you&#8217;re looking for the easiest way to keep up with all the major movie and TV news, why not <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/subscribe.slashfilm.com\/newsletter-syndicated\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:sign up to our free newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">sign up to our free newsletter<\/a>?
