Dark Crystal

I just finished watching The Dark Crystal with the family. Has anyone else seen it recently?? I am posting a raw video below that I just took of the final ten minutes. Don’t mind my awkward commentary. I googled it and just learned that there is a series coming out called which builds on everything in the film. “The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance builds on everything that made the film great, and it has the potential to become a classic in its own right.” Talk about resonance!

“The Dark Crystal, set on the dying world of Thra, followed two Gelflings — the last survivors of a small, elfin race — on a quest to restore a crystal power source that was corrupted by a malevolent birdlike race known as the Skeksis. Age of Resistance, which releases its 10-episode first season on August 30th, is set before those events. The Gelflings are a thriving society of disparate clans loyal to the Skeksis, but are stirred to action when they learn that the Lords of the Crystal are killing Gelflings to extend their own lives.”

In the US, the 10-episode first season of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance debuts on Netflix on August 30th, 2019. Release dates may vary in other countries.”

Perfect timing for a remake, am I right? I know what I will be doing on August 30th!

It's time to return to Thra. Watch the cast and creators discuss returning to Jim Henson's creation almost 40 years later and getting the chance to expand and enrich this already beloved world. From the Jim Henson Company and visionary director Louis Leterrier, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance premieres August 30.
