About The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance · Launch date: Friday, August 30, 2019 · Director: Louis Leterrier · Executive Producers: Lisa Henson, Louis Leterrier, Halle Stanford · Co-Executive Producers: Jeffrey Addiss & Will Matthews, Javier Grillo-Marxuach, Blanca Lista · Producer: Ritamarie Peruggi · Line Producer: Tim Wellspring · Associate Producer: Cameron Richardson · Co-Producer: Vivian Lee · Produced By: The Jim Henson Company · Format: 10 Episodes x 1 Hour The world of The Dark Crystal began with Jim Henson's groundbreaking 1982 movie, which he co-directed with Frank Oz. Jim Henson had been, until that time, known primarily as the genius behind the Muppets, and this fantasy adventure feature, the first to have an all-puppet cast, marked a turn to more realistic characters and creatures. From inception to release, The Dark Crystal was seven years in the making and has since gone on to become a cult classic around the world. Visually conceived by Creature and Costume Designer Brian Froud, Thra, the setting for this epic story, is teeming with characters brought to life by Jim Henson's Creature Shop, including Gelfling heroes, villainous Skeksis, wise Mystics, and a host of original creatures. Jim Henson's unique vision was - in his own words - the hardest thing he ever worked on, describing it as "a work of art" and "the one that I'm most proud of." The visually stunning movie launched a huge range of publishing and collectible merchandise. Two series of graphic novels and a series of young adult novels combined to expand the Dark Crystal world, introducing origin stories, sequel storylines, and a broad canvas to tell a prequel story of the matriarchal Gelfling culture in a time when the world of Thra was younger and more vibrant. A new generation will soon be able to experience the wonder of this world, when The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance comes to Netflix globally. The Dark Crystal, a truly classic movie, introduced a rich, vibrant, hand-crafted world, on which The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance will only expand, continuing Jim Henson's innovative and creative legacy. Audiences will once again be thrilled to explore the world of Thra in this epic fantasy that everyone will be talking about.
