Fantasy Robert Eggers to direct a new Labyrinth movie?

Just avoid this guy and we'll be thankful:

**** it's going to be him isn't it.

Blame Christopher Nolan for making Hollywood think he had acting ability.

 

[Drizzle]

Yeah but then Don't Worry Darling came out and the world collectively said, "No thanks."

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Addendum: I’m excited for this in the sense I like it when directors go out of their wheelhouse. It’ll be interesting to see Eggers tackle that 80’s dark fantasy children genre.

This is totally his wheelhouse.

Just cast Dan Stevens or Pattinson and be done with it.

Will Goblin King still be preying on a 16 year old, though?

 

[Kane52630]

I can see Dan Stevens (as usual)

That's older then what Bowie usually preyed upon.

Is Gareth truly a weird enough character for either of them at this point in their careers?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

All I know is Dafoe will be playing Hoggle, no makeup necessary.

Since they’re specifically saying it’s a sequel, what if Jennifer Connelly becomes the new Goblin King?

 

[Boom]

I also love that Sjon has just randomly become Eggers' writing partner.

That could be fun. But I'd guess she's playing a mom.

LMAO I read this too fast as Jennifer Coolidge.

Magic Dance remix incoming?

You'll get Bill Skarsgard and love it.

The Goblin King is too vanilla for Bill. He'd play one of these guys:

 

[Sawyer]

Tilda Swinton for The Goblin King IMO.

 

[Enriquespy]

Anyone knows if the Jim Henson Company will be involved?

 

[DarkKnight88]

Anyone knows if the Jim Henson Company will be involved?

I have to assume so as Lisa Henson is producing who’s the current CEO of the company.

Chris and Eleanor Columbus will produce alongside Lisa Henson, with Brian Henson executive producing.

Tilda Swinton for The Goblin King IMO.

I feel this would be similar to her turn as Janus.

What if they pulled a Captain Hook from Peter Pan and she played both roles?


Story could be about her daughter seeing her mother as being too overbearing and overprotective (probably influenced by her experience in the first film). When she goes to the other world, this perception of her could manifest in a twisted physical doppelgänger who would be the main villain. Jennifer Connelly‘s character would have to go back and rescue her daughter, facing and defeating this threat together with her daughter (literally her mom’s true self helping destroy the false image her daughter built up in her mind) and ending with them reconciling and coming to a better understanding of each other.

Just an idea that came to mind.

 

[Boom]

Tilda Swinton or Toni Collette.
