Robert Eggers is getting very busy. A day after setting up his next film, “Werwulf,” at Focus Features, the director of “Nosferatu” and “The Northman” has closed a deal with TriStar Pictures to direct a sequel to “Labyrinth.”
Released in 1986, “Labyrinth” starred Jennifer Connolly as a teen who, frustrated with taking care of her infant half-brother, wishes for him to be taken away by the goblins in a fantasy book she is reading. Her rash wish is granted by the Goblin King Jareth, played by David Bowie, who gives her 13 hours to find her brother in a magical labyrinth before he is turned into a goblin forever.
