• "Well, in 2001, Lisa Henson phoned and said, 'Look, we've been talking with Sony, and it's become obvious that Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal, these two family fantasy movies that Henson made in the 80s, which at the time were both regarded as being flops, have gone on to have this life-forever. People love them, people remember them.' She said, 'We want to do something like that again.'" -- Neil Gaiman on http://contemporarylit.about.com/od/authorinterviews/a/gaimanInterview_2.htm

The movie was premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, and has been announced by Neil Gaiman to come to theaters in late 2005:
