A day after Focus Features’ announcement of
Werwulf, which
Robert Eggers has set as his next film on the heels of
Nosferatu, we’ve learned that the filmmaker has closed his deal to write and direct a new
Labyrinth film for
TriStar Pictures.
Plot details for Eggers’
Labyrinth are under wraps, but we’re told the film is a sequel, rather than a remake of Jim Henson’s 1986 classic. Eggers is writing the script with Sjón, his collaborator on 2022 Viking actioner
The Northman, with whom he’s also working on
Werwulf. Chris and Eleanor Columbus will produce alongside Lisa Henson, with Brian Henson executive producing.
