Cult Classic Labyrinth is get a sequel and the Script is finished




If you grow up around the 90s you probably wouldn't have known or heard about this film until now, as during the 80's and a film I up with Labyrinth was one Jim Henson classic puppet master film with a fantasy element of adventure as young Sarah trying to get her brother back from the goblin king.

Along the way, she met a lot of colour character and some goofy ones too in a heartwarming, funny interest adventure that along the way we get a few musical moments if there is a film your kids would love today Labyrinth is one of those films.


Sadly David Bowie who play the goblin king past away 10th January 2016, which was a sad day for all his fans. Despite the Critic back then going into this film expect the muppet as they were big back then in the screen, the film is a little darker which is why this critic trash the film, but I would disagree on what these critics said because this was a childhood classic up there with Dark crystal.


Labyrinth over the years became a cult classic that almost everyone loved, its a film that's age well as it never gets old, it a film that reminds those of the days of children to sing along to the music, watching the incredible beautiful Jennifer Connelly on screen at the age of 16 she was the perfect cast for this film.



Especial the character of the movie like Ludo, Didymus and Hoggle who was supposed to do the goblin king command give a heartwarming tale of adventure, friendship in the most unlikely of places.

Along with the movie soundtrack as well with such song as Dance magic dance performed by David Bowie: 


Fireys getting down into the fire characters that take their heads and as the dance around:


One other classic during the film when we see Sarah in a beautiful princess dress with David Bowie performing another song in the film as the world falls down:



One of my all-time favourite haunting song from David Bowie a song call within you:

This film has and always has been a classic film to me and a childhood favourite, hearing that a sequel is being done and has finished the script has been done has me intrigued but also kind of scared that they are gonna ruin a childhood classic with a bad sequel.


This is not to mention how can they get away with this since David Bowie past away, are they gonna use CGI on someone face to bring him back like they did with Jeff bridges making him younger in Tron Legacy.



From what ive read Tri and Jim Henson have worked out a deal to bring back this cult classic for a sequel with director Fede Alvarez at the helm, Alvarez revealed that the script is now done:

He had an interview with Fandango this is what he had to say:

“I was actually having lunch yesterday with Lisa Henson and we reconnected with that project. We're very excited about it. It is basically a direct continuation of the first movie many years later, and I can't tell you much more about it... but we have a script, and we're very excited about it so we'll see where that goes. Like always, it takes time and effort to put those movies together because they're larger than life. But that's one of the projects that I'm very excited about.”

It becomes a growing tend with Hollywood with a reboot and remake and making a sequel like the recent Halloween film that hit the cinema, which let be honest wasn't great when they are scrapping the other as no canon. Hollywood is not in a good place to be messing with a cult classic like Labyrinth, especial when Hollywood can't seem to get anyone with imagination, as ive seen some pretty horrible copy and paste film that have been lazily written.


This is what concerns me more, yes the labyrinth film will always be a classic in its own right, nothing gonna take that away but the cult classic film shouldn't be touched, and making a sequel I fear that it not gonna be the same they are gonna ruin it. But let's just hope they make a good one.

How do you feel about this, do you think this film needs a sequel or do you think like me that it better off left alone as a standalone film?

A Possible 3rd 300 film called 300:The resurgence coming soon?



Written by Movie knights

TONIGHT WE DINE IN HELL!!!!!!

One of the Most famous lines used in the first 300 movie, as 300 spartan faces down a vast army of Persians hell bent of conquering Greece and Athens ultimately failing at the vastly superior military tactics of the greek spartan.

Frank Miller 300 novel in 1998 Spark an interest in the fans across the world in a new take on 
historically battle, which was adopted in 2006 with an epic and unapologetically twisted version of the historic Battle of Thermopylae Directed by Zack Synder starring many stars like Gerard Butler, Michael Fassbender and many other stars.


When it comes to action movies there has never been anything quite like The unique style of film and battles like 300, which smashed the box office with a successful film with a 65 million budget it made over 456.1 million making it a box office hit.
But it didn't just make a box office hit, it became one of the most iconic films in cinema history with it bloodthirsty battles and brilliant one-liners that everyone talks about when mentioning this film, especial one line "THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!". 


In its successful box office hit, in 2014 we got another glorious sequel 300: Rise of an Empire. Now, this film to most fans was confused because the story was a sequel but it was also a prequel in the first act of the film, which then follows the story after 300 when the mighty 300 had a glorious death which spark the whole of Greece to unite.


With the sequel, it was base on the Battle of Marathon where the Athenians use shock combat and the Battle of Artemisium at seas battle, with a ship to ship combat, as we see the glorious battle at sea as the Athenians battle against the Persian Naval Assault.


This is where the film Ends when Athenians and Spartan band together as one united Greece, everyone was left wanting more, well there is possibly good news on this.

300 3rd film called the resurgence could be coming, although this name is subject to change as the movie looks to be still in 
development, which means they are trying to find a great story for this 3rd film.


Actor Sullivan Stapleton has express interest in playing a further role as the lead man for the role in the 3rd films saying:

"
As for the sequel, it’s a huge story… And those battles between the Greeks and Persians went on for years and years. I hope to God we do another sequel"

Let be honest Sullivan Stapleton would make a great actor for the 3rd film, to continue the story since he was alive at the end 300 rise of an empire. Although the Sequel was met with some criticism was received great with most audiences, the film still made a ton of money to make the 3rd film, with a budget of 
100 million, it made 337.6 million in the box office it was still a successful film.


With the Assassin, creed Odyssey game that just comes out, now would be a good time to have this film announce with the Hype of Greece and the 300 battle, let be honest a 3rd film to finish this film with a trilogy would be great as long as they give us the story of Greece last stand against the Persians.


Warner Bros and legendary picture needs to make this film work and bring it to the big screen because Fans want this film, it would be a shame to leave this story on 300 rise of an empire.

At the moment with it being in development there is a glimmer of hope for a 3rd film, but a date for the moment is unclear with it being in development and if any more news comes in i'l be sure to keep you up to date on this. What your opinion on this film series becoming a trilogy or do you feel they could carry this film over for serval sequels?
