Updates on Upcoming Henson Films!

Yesterday, we told you about the Henson's company's new feature film, Tara Billik, but buried in that press release were some updates on a few feature films in development.

The Jim Henson biopic Muppet Man is moving along as a coproduction with Disney.
Lisa Henson is producing with distribution handled by Disney. 

Also in development is a feature film adaptation of The 13 1⁄2 lives of Captain Bluebear based on the 1999 fantasy novel by German writer and cartoonist Walter Moers.

From Wikipedia:

The 13 1⁄2 Lives of Captain Bluebear follows the adventures of the character Bluebear in the first half of his 27 lives. The novel intersperses Bluebear's narrative with excerpts from The Encyclopedia of Marvels, Life Forms and Other Phenomena of Zamonia and its Environs by Professor Abdullah Nightingale, who bacterially transmits it into Bluebear's brain.

The story is set in the fictional continent of Zamonia (location of several other novels by Walter Moers) on Earth before the "great descent" in which Zamonia and many other continents sink beneath the waves. Many of the creatures encountered by Bluebear in the novel are taken from myths, folktales, prehistory, and Moers' imagination.

The 13 1⁄2 lives of Captain Bluebear will be distributed and streamed by Netflix.

The highly anticipated sequel to Labyrinth is also still in the works.

Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson is helming the feature with a script by Maggie Levin, who wrote an episode of Hulu's horror series Into the Dark. Sony's Columbia TriStar will distribute the film. 

No plot, characters, or story details have been announced yet.
