Paramount Pictures wants to turn the whole thing upside down. The studio has announced it’s making a film based on the mobile game phenomenon Monument Valley, with Oscar-winning short film director Patrick Osborne set to direct.
These aren't 1986 press shots promoting the release of Labyrinth. These are pictures taken in 2017 of cosplayer and assumed shapeshifter Alyson Tabbitha.
Last we heard, that long-rumoured Labyrinth movie reboot was still in the works despite the fact that there will never be anyone who can replace David Bowie as Jareth, the Goblin King. Even if the folks at Sony aren't able to find a suitable successor to Bowie's throne, a new comic is on its way to answer the burning questions we all still have about the Goblin King.
No one at Peter Jackson's Weta Workshop does anything in halves. Ever. Even former Mythbuster Adam Savage was near-speechless after a recent visit to the studio to meet sculptor Johnny Fraser-Allen and the enormous project he's undertaken: building a room-sized, fully sculpted replica of the Labyrinth board game we saw last year.
Back when I was a kid growing up in the outskirts of Philadelphia it seemed as if every house on the block had a copy of the classic wooden Labyrinth marble maze game. Now that I'm technically an adult I've got one of my own, only much cooler.
A Labyrinth board game? In 2016? If not for the tragic passing of David Bowie this year, we'd probably be asking these questions more seriously. Now, it seems like a beautiful -- and interactive -- tribute to the man / cultural phenomenon.
