If, like us here are FTN HQ, you’re excited to see Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu movie (it doesn’t come out in the UK for another week), then there’s a good chance you’re going to love this.
Word is that Eggers, the man behind The Witch, The Northman, The Lighthouse and, of course, Nosferatu, is now setting his signs on a much-loved 80s classic.
The most recent effort to remake it was by Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson (here)
Eggers is reportedly in talks with Sony and The Jim Henson Company to update the David Bowie and Jennifer Connolly classic, Labyrinth.
There has been rumblings over the years of reboots and sequels, there’s been comics and other expanded lore but the 1986 movie still sits, untouchable and standalone as a children’s classic that terrifies the kids; so, I can see why Eggers is attached to the project.
The original movie was directed by the legendary Jim Henson himself and recently his son, Brian Henson – who directed The Muppet Christmas Carol – was asked about a return to the world of Labyrinth and he said it was “a project that we are very excited about.”
As of right now, it’s unknown if Eggers’ movie if it ever happens, is a sequel, reboot, reimagining or what but whatever it is, it’s a project I could get very, very excited about.
Thoughts? I wanna hear ’em…

Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
