"Those will be out this summer," Wendy adds.
"Jen and Kira, remembering what happened the last time the Crystal was split, refuse her request. However, Thurma breaks off a shard and flees underground. Breaking the Crystal causes the angelic UrSkeks to once again split into the mystic UrRu and the evil Skeksis. Jen and Kira must once again journey to recover the shard while avoiding the Skeksis' crablike Garthim soldiers."
"The Power of the Dark Crystal takes place many years after the events of the first film. Jen and Kira (the Gelfling heroes of The Dark Crystal) are now the benevolent rulers of Thraa and keepers of the reunited Crystal. They are visited by Thurma the fire girl, a representative of the U-mun, who live in the blazing center of the planet. The U-mun are threatened by the death of their star and only a shard of the Crystal can save them.
Possible Power of the Dark Crystal Storyline?
One of those people could be Toby Froud, Wendy and Brian's son. Best known for playing Jennifer Connelly's baby brother in Labrynth, the junior Froud is currently studying film-making and special effects techniques in London.

In addition, he recently worked as a "master stilt-walker" and dancing bear with a troupe in England, using costumes his mother made for him.

At other times, people claimed it would be a direct-to-DVD release, or previewed at the Cannes Film Festival in 2008. Now it's 2010, and still no flick. Is this movie still in production?
Here's the official synopsis so far:
For those who need something Dark Crystal-related to tide them over, Frouds also mentioned somegraphic novels will be making its way to consumers. "We've been working on story outlines for that, and some covers."
According to the Frouds, the backgrounds will be CGI, but the main characters will still be puppets. "(The producers) decided that was the only way to do it, to keep the integrity of the original," Wendy commented. "They just have to find the people to make them now."
