It’s time to return to Thra.
In this brand new behind-the-scenes video for Netflix’s “The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance,” watch the voice cast (including Simon Pegg, Taron Egerton and Natalie Dormer) and creators discuss returning to Jim Henson’s creation almost 40 years later and getting the chance to expand and enrich this already beloved world. Check it out below.
Based on Jim Henson’s 1982 film, “Age of Resistance” tells a new story, set many years before the events of the movie, and realized using classic puppetry with cutting edge visual effects. The world of Thra is dying. The Crystal of Truth is at the heart of Thra, a source of untold power. But it is damaged, corrupted by the evil Skeksis, and a sickness spreads across the land. When three Gelfling uncover the horrific truth behind the power of the Skeksis, an adventure unfolds as the fires of rebellion are lit and an epic battle for the planet begins.
From the Jim Henson Company and director/EP Louis Leterrier, “Age of Resistance” premieres August 30.
