导演罗伯特·艾格斯续写《奇幻迷宫》

Robert Eggers, renowned for his gothic horror film Nosferatu, is set to helm a sequel to the cherished fantasy classic, Labyrinth.

According to Variety, Eggers will pen and direct this follow-up to Jim Henson's 1986 dark fantasy film starring David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly. He'll collaborate on the script with Sjón, his writing partner on The Northman. While a sequel was previously under development with Scott Derrickson (director of Sinister) attached, a lack of progress since 2023 led TriStar and Jim Henson Pictures to enlist Eggers.

The original 1986 Labyrinth featured Bowie as the Goblin King Jareth, who abducts Connelly's baby brother. Connelly's character then embarks on a journey into a fantastical realm to rescue her sibling, aided by a troupe of Henson's iconic puppets.

This Labyrinth sequel isn't Eggers' only project. He's also directing a werewolf film titled Werwulf, slated for a Christmas 2026 release. Details are scarce, but the film is set in 13th-century England and will utilize Old English dialogue. One can reasonably expect a lycanthropic transformation to occur.

Nosferatu, Eggers' recent Christmas release, is a reimagining of F.W. Murnau's 1922 silent film. Set in 19th-century Germany, it follows a real estate agent's trip to Transylvania to broker a castle sale, only to be ensnared in a web of vampiric horror alongside his wife, Ellen.

Nosferatu garnered four Oscar nominations: Cinematography, Production Design, Costume Design, and Makeup and Hairstyling. A review of Nosferatu can be found here.
