On the heels of his now-Oscar-nominated Nosferatu, Robert Eggers has now closed a deal to write and direct a sequel to cult classic Labyrinth.
Rather than acting as a remake of the 1986 Jim Henson film, the upcoming Labyrinth movie will continue the narrative. The film is being produced by TriStar Pictures alongside Lia Henson, Chris and Eleanor Columbus, and Brian Henson, who will be serving as Executive Producer.
Reportedly, efforts to develop a Labyrinth sequel have been underway since 2017, when Scott Derrickson was attached to a previous version of a script. The current production will be moving forward with a script to be co-written by Eggers and his The Northman collaborator Sjón. Plot details are currently under wraps.
This morning, Nosferatu secured four Oscar nominations (cinematography, costume design, hair and makeup, and production design). Revisit our review of the film, and see the full list of 2025 Oscar nominations here.
Fans of the original Labyrinth will have plenty of opportunities to enjoy it with a live orchestra this year, as “Jim Henson’s Labyrinth: In Concert” has been extended until May 2025 due to popular demand.
Meanwhile, Eggers is also set to helm Werwulf, a 13th century horror film about, you guessed it, werewolves.
