Power of the Dark Crystal moves forward

Thank goodness... I just wanted to put this out there in case you end up hearing it. A few days ago Film Ick reported that The Power of the Dark Crystal had been placed on hiatus officially and unofficially, scrapped. Apparently though this is not the case at all. I'm sure they didn't mean to get their facts wrong but in classic internet snowball fashion the story was picked up by Dark Horizons, and then became a big thing for a few (relative internet) minutes. Thankfully someone up in Henson HQ has responded to the rumors and squelched them before it hits press bigger than it has already. The Power of the Dark Crystal is moving forward well and they are expecting to wrap production on it by the end of the year, for an Spring '08 release.

This is good news; I'm pretty excited to see what the mastermind behind Samurai Jack and Clone Wars can do with this universe :)
