Ha ha, can’t tell you how glad I am that I don’t post every silly rumor that lingers out there, the latest being that Jim Henson Company’s Power of the Dark Crystal had been put on hold. Indeed, that rumor is not true. Thank the Internet for yet another bogus lead.
However, the good news about the rumor is that we get five new pieces of concept art and an official statement from Henson Co. Here’s the statement:
The Jim Henson Company remains committed to producing Power of the Dark Crystal. The film has not been “cancelled†or “put on hiatus†or any of the other rumored status changes that have been floating around. This film is an ambitious undertaking for us and it continues to move forward as we work to secure the financing and distribution that a project of this scope requires; and yes, these are factors that will most likely have an impact the production timeline. We are grateful to the fans who support Power of the Dark Crystal and we are excited to make this new chapter in the Dark Crystal story a reality. – Lisa Henson, co-CEO of The Jim Henson Company and producer of Power of the Dark Crystal
