Robert Eggers to Direct 'Labyrinth' Sequel Following 'Nosferatu' Success

The sequel to Jim Henson's 1986 cult classic will be co-written by Eggers and Sjón, with production led by TriStar Pictures and Henson's family.

Robert Eggers, known for 'Nosferatu,' will write and direct a sequel to the 1986 film 'Labyrinth,' marking his first foray into the fantasy genre.
The sequel is confirmed to be a follow-up rather than a remake, with no plot details or cast announcements yet revealed.
Jennifer Connelly, who starred in the original, has previously expressed interest in reprising her role, though her involvement remains unconfirmed.
The project will involve key figures from the original, including Lisa and Brian Henson, children of Jim Henson, who will serve as producers and executive producers.
Eggers will collaborate with screenwriter Sjón, continuing their partnership from 'The Northman,' while Chris and Eleanor Columbus will also produce.
