Fake Labyrinth Remake Poster Puts Tom Hiddleston in David Bowie’s Role

by

As a seasoned movie buff who has spent countless hours delving into the annals of cinema history, I must say that the latest buzz surrounding a potential Labyrinth sequel has me both excited and skeptical. On one hand, it’s heartening to see that the love for this cult classic has endured through the years, despite its initial box office failure. The film’s unique blend of fantasy, music, and puppetry is truly timeless, and I can’t help but feel a pang of nostalgia whenever I think about those enchanting Muppets.

Once again, it seems the internet is at work. A sequel to the beloved Jim Henson film is currently underway, but a poster claiming to cast someone in the role of the Goblin King for a remake of the movie appears to be fabricated. Interestingly, this fake poster has been causing quite a buzz lately, even though it was initially created and circulated by Yoda BBY ABY, a well-known creator on Facebook known for sharing false posters, several months ago.

As a die-hard film enthusiast, I can’t help but share my excitement over a mind-blowing poster that recently surfaced online. It showcases an exceptionally lifelike portrayal of Tom Hiddleston, adorned with wild blonde locks, heavy eye makeup, and a mirrorball jacket, towering above a misty labyrinth. The design is strikingly reminiscent of the buzz generated by Rob Zombie’s proposed Nightmare on Elm Street reboot poster, sparking a wave of speculation among fans – despite no official announcement about this film, and the poster itself stating a release date in November 2024. I can’t help but wonder if this could be the real deal!

It’s more indicative of our current global situation that even though time moves quickly in the digital media world, some individuals are just now becoming aware of a false poster, which was initially circulated as early as May. Here is the complete poster for your reference.

Although some weren’t fooled by the poster, opinions outside it varied widely. Some were thrilled at the idea of the Loki actor assuming the role immortalized by Bowie and his distinctive bulge from 1986, while others considered any alteration to that movie as sacrilege. Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately, this is a remake that seems unlikely, despite rumors suggesting that the story of Labyrinth might be ready for a new sequel at last.

A Labyrinth Sequel is Finally Moving Forward

The movie “Labyrinth” has gained more and more fans over the years, despite initially failing at the box office upon its initial release. Sadly, the creator Jim Henson didn’t get to witness the film’s transformation into a cherished cult classic because he passed away in 1990 before that happened. However, the lasting affection for the movie has eventually paved the way for a sequel.

For over ten years, it appears the “Labyrinth” sequel has been gaining traction. This year, Brian Henson, son of the legendary Muppet creator Jim Henson, hinted at promising developments regarding the potential sequel.

As for your query, I would recommend addressing it to my sister, Lisa – she’s the CEO of the Jim Henson Company, and currently, there’s an intriguing project we’re thrilled about. Unfortunately, at this time, we can’t disclose any details about it.

Despite the uncertainty, this moment seems particularly ripe for a Labyrinth follow-up. Fans have shown great enthusiasm towards nostalgic sequels, and while recasting the devious Goblin King role following David Bowie’s passing could present challenges, there are numerous paths the new movie might take – considering the vast labyrinth, countless unexplored corners of its world remain to be discovered.
