Henson Company to release 3D movie

The Jim Henson Company is working on a 3D sequel to Jim Henson's "Dark Crystal" film, CEO Lisa Henson tells Reuters. She said several of her father's primary interests before he died in 1990 were 3D films, computer animation and digital imagery. "He was pretty far ahead of his time, and I like to think that we have taken the company in the direction he would have chosen," she said. "I really believe that 3D will only get better." The movie, "The Power of the Dark Crystal" will be made in Australia with using techniques including 3D and CGI to propel puppets into the 21st century and beyond. Tentative release is 2013.
