A 34-Years-Later Sequel To A 1980s Classic Is No Longer Happening: Why That’s A Good Thing

A recent news update for Labyrinth 2 has indicated that the sequel to the beloved ’80s classic Labyrinth is facing a huge setback, and that’s actually good for both the original movie and its fans. Labyrinth wasn’t a huge success when it premiered in 1986, but the fantasy quest movie, starring music icon David Bowie as Jareth the Goblin King, and Jennifer Connolly as Sarah, a teen determined to save her baby brother from being trapped in his Goblin City forever, cultivated a cult classic status on home video. Jim Henson’s fanciful puppet creatures, the colorful characters in Labyrinth, and the extensive world-building helped the film’s legacy endure for decades.
