The last thing we saw from the filmmakers behind the sequel to
Jim Henson's
The Dark Crystal was a
glimpse of storyboards, back in October. Since then there's been no word on when the film would finish production, or even a glimpse at a solid release date. All of which served to fuel a rumor that began on
film ick, and then started to
work it's way through the mill.
G4 The Feed has now reported that
The Power Of The Dark Crystal has been put on hold.
Genndy Tartakovsky has also gone on hiatus, with no plans to re-start. It's all still speculation at this point, since
The Jim Henson Company has yet to release an official statement to confirm or deny.
As the story goes, the film has gone on permanent hiatus while
The Jim Henson Company concentrates on other projects such as
Edward Gorey's
The Doubtful Guest and a film based on the
Monster Blood Tattoo. If the rumors are true that
The Dark Crystal 2 has been put back on the shelf, it doesn't exactly inspire me with confidence that The Henson Company is going to follow through with these other projects either.
