Power of the Dark Crystal Movie - Dark Crystal 2

Power of the Dark Crystal is the much awaited sequel to the 1982 fantasy film Dark Crystal. The sequel will use the tried and true methods like puppetry and animatronics, but will also take the world of puppetry into the modern age by using techniques like motion capture CGI. The brothers Michael Spierig and Peter Spierig are directing the film. There's no official release date yet, but the movie Power of the Dark Crystal should be released in 2011.

Here below a few early sketches and concept arts of Power of the Dark Crystal:

Plot:
"A girl made of fire steals a shard of a legendary crystal in hopes of reigniting the dying sun."

A few words from Director Michael Spierig about Power of the Dark Crystal:

"We feel a tremendous amount of responsibility in telling this story with the same meticulous care that Jim Henson and Frank Oz gave the 1982 original."
