What could set the new Labyrinth apart, however, is the pure fantasy element. In other words, it's easy enough to see Labyrinth reborn as a young-adult action-adventure movie. The new version, then, will likely need a young, strong female lead, someone like Jennifer Lawrence in The Hunger Games, Kristen Stewart in the Twilight movies, or Shailene Woodley in The Divergent Series. The original starred Jennifer Connelly as a teenager who must navigate a maze to save her younger brother, who has been kidnapped by the Goblin King (Bowie). Nicole Perlman ( Guardians of the Galaxy) has been hired to write the screenplay, according to The Hollywood Reporter, though it's not clear if it's a direct sequel, a remake, or a spin-off. Now a new version will attempt to tap into the magic of the original. Labyrinth was a disappointment at the box office, earning less than $13 million during its initial theatrical release, but its enduring appeal has seen it perform well on home video and win many more devoted fans.

Sure, maybe the movie as a whole wasn't the knockout dazzler that everyone wished it was, yet its goofy charms and original approach have held up well over the years and Bowie's sincere performance remains a highlight of his movie career. When David Bowie passed away recently, many fans shared fond memories of his starring performance as the Goblin King in Labyrinth, Jim Henson's 1986 fantasy.
