The Jim Henson Co. is working on the sequel to THE DARK CRYSTAL. The film will be called THE POWER OF THE DARK CRYSTAL.

The story is set many years after the first film. Original heroes Jen and Kira are now king and queen, and must fight to save their kingdom when the crystal is once again split. David Odell and Annette Duffy wrote the script. No director is yet attached.

POWER will be a combination of live-action animatronic characters with CG animation. The Henson Co. plans to start shooting this fall and hopes to release the film in 2007.
