The legendary 80s fantasy film is ready to return to a new tv series that will further expand its universe. Below the first trailer for The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.
Dark Crystal is a 1982 film co-directed by two amazing artists: Frank Oz and Jim Henson, puppeteer for the Muppets and animator and voice of Yoda in Star Wars the first, and mythical artist and inventor (father of the Muppets) the second.
Directed by Louis Leterrier, the series stars Taron Egerton, Anya Taylor-Joy, Helena Bonham Carter, Eddie Izzard, Mark Strong, Mark Hamill, Simon Pegg and many others. The story will be a prequel to the original film, always made by The Jim Henson Company using puppets, computer graphics and live-action. A mix that, as the first images shows, takes us back forty years with splendid locations and atmospheres.
Synopsis: The world of Thra is dying. The Crystal of Truth is at the heart of Thra, a source of untold power. But it is damaged, corrupted by the evil Skeksis, and a sickness spreads across the land. When three Gelfling uncover the horrific truth behind the power of the Skeksis, an adventure unfolds as the fires of rebellion are lit and an epic battle for the planet begins.
A 10 episodes x 60 minutes series available on Netflix starting August 30. Here trailer and poster:
