Down At Fraggle Rock, and then some

Lgo1DDGzwiQ1QaK0DrjfbQvDark-CrystalA lot of us grew up with either the Muppets, Fraggle Rock, or anything having to do with Henson. Well, the awesome folks over at MTV were able to sit down with Brian Henson, the son of Muppets creator Jim Henson, to find out the latest scoop on the Fraggle Rock movie along with the possibility of a Dark Crystal movie sequel.

It’ll have a strong musical component,” he said. “It’ll be expanded to an older audience. ‘Fraggle Rock’ [the TV show] was presented… for a pretty exclusively children’s audience. The feature film does expand it to be more accessible to a wider audience.”
“We have a ‘Dark Crystal’ sequel, called ‘The Power of the Dark Crystal.’ It has a very strong script.” More emphasis. I like that, Mr. Henson. Enthusiasm. It’s infectious. I’m already excited about these projects, and hearing your comments only amplifies that.
“Both of those projects… are very close to going into pre-production,” Henson said. “They’re both really ready to go. [The studio is] just [in the process of] putting together the final finance pieces and the final distribution pieces.”
Well, there you have it everyone. Not only are they finally going underway with the Fraggle Rock movie, but were getting us another Dark Crystal. Let us know what you think about all of this, we’re curious.


  • I have been waiting for this news a long time to be honest. I loved the Dark Crystal. DC had a showcase of the characters/puppets at one of the museums not long ago which was just an awesome experience.
