I know, I know - I can just not watch it. Maybe it won't be too bad. Trainspotting 2 was unnecessary, but not terrible. Grease 2 is maybe better than Grease. And it may never even happen. But Labyrinth? Is nothing sacred?

YABU - I can't wait to go back down in the underground!
YANBU - this is Goblin King treason.

@CuriousaboutSamphire I enjoyed T2 well enough but I can't remember anything about it now. Vague memory of them being in a loft? Soundtrack not a patch either.

@Scout2016 I really liked them, they follow Sarah and Toby, Toby wanting to go back to the labyrinth.

Also if any of you are London based when cinemas open go to the Labyrinth Ball at The Prince Charles Cinema, so much fun!

Trainspotting 2 was dog shit I was so disappointed!
Loved Labyrinth and I hope they do it justice.

As long as the things that take their heads off aren't in it. They still shit me right up even at the age of 41! I feel nauseous just thinking about them.

Hoggleludo · 27/05/2020 18:00

Love that film!

As can tell by my username

But no

No no no no nope. No no

That’s an iconic film!

LynnThese4reSEXPEOPLE · 27/05/2020 18:03

No-one would blame you - for walking away....

I'm upset. Unless it turns out Henry Cavell can sing.

UnfinishedSymphon · 27/05/2020 18:04

Is it definitely a sequel or a remake?

Scout2016 · 27/05/2020 18:07

@MorganKitten that does sound intriguing,I will investigate. I'm not Lonďon based but that bell sounds like something I would make a trip for. Probably on my own.

I have got Dark Crystal but not watched it yet. Got it for lockdown but now I want to have the house to myself to watch it, so no time soon. Not watched before in case it's not magic. I think I could cope with Labyrinth tv series. Just about. But not film!

@1point21gigawatts I think if you waychedthat bit again the dodgy green screen special effects might distract you from the fear. But yeah, they are horrible and bloody irritating. Worst bit of film.

@UnfinishedSymphon being billed everywhere as a sequel. Taking ages to get going but had new lease of life www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/film/shortcuts/2020/may/27/will-the-labyrinth-sequel-work-without-david-bowie-and-jim-henson

I loved the film. Remake is a big risk though! Have you got a link to news about it?

WhoWants2Know · 27/05/2020 18:10

But Ludo! And that Fox thing that rode on a dog!

Scout2016 · 27/05/2020 18:17

@NotTerfNorCis have put one above but it's Guardian joke article. Others such as Sky and NME and Variety are reporting it too www.google.com/amp/s/news.sky.com/story/amp/labyrinth-sequel-scott-derrickson-to-direct-follow-up-to-1986-fantasy-film-11995432

Can't have sequel without Bowie

ShellsandSand · 27/05/2020 18:22

Yes to Tilda! She nails everything she does.

Winnipegdreamer · 27/05/2020 18:24

Yanbu - when Bowie died, Jarreth did too.

TitsalinaBumSquash · 27/05/2020 18:24

Dear lord no! No remakes no sequels, you may as well just go crap all over Bowie's grave. Just no. Angry

Why can there not be new films anymore, so may remakes or additions to old film series.

DomDoesWotHeWants · 27/05/2020 18:25

Just no.

CastleCrasher · 27/05/2020 18:33

I was going to say no, but actually, I like the Tilda idea too. Has to have the worm though.
Must dust off my old labryinth usernames...

taraRoo · 27/05/2020 18:40

I literally think labyrinth was my first sexual experience.... I genuinely fancied David Bowie. Still can't understand why you would choose your brother over a life with the goblin king and his large package.

littlemeitslyn · 27/05/2020 18:42

Oh yes Laurie

ManualFlusherSnot · 27/05/2020 18:43

I absolutely love labyrinth!

“That’s right, I’m a worm” 🐛

“You love your little panda slippers, don’t ya?” 🐼

“Nobody shall pass without my permission!” 🐕

It’s one of my best films ever, although I can’t see a sequel doing that great, especially with Bowie gone Sad

golddustwomen · 27/05/2020 18:45

Grease 2 is better than Grease 1?! You are fucking crazy Grin
Completely agree about trainspotting 2 though - boring as hell but Ewan is very nice to look at so it was worth the cinema trip.
Watched labyrinth with my 3 year old over the weekend, love it, so many childhood memories! You remind me of babe !!!!

ManualFlusherSnot · 27/05/2020 18:46

What babe?

ManualFlusherSnot · 27/05/2020 18:47

The babe with the power
