A reboot is in the works for the 1986 classic "Labyrinth," which starred Jennifer Connelly and David Bowie, a.k.a. the Goblin King, who passed just two weeks ago.
TriStar Pictures has announced that they will be working with The Jim Henson Co. for the reboot and Nicole Perlman, screenwriter for "Guardian of the Galaxy," will write the script, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
However, it is not been revealed if the script for the new film will be a 30-year-late sequel to the cult favorite or another version of the Goblin King's exploits.

Filmed on a $25 million budget, "Labyrinth" has gained its reputation as Bowie soared in his career, but when it was initially shown 30 years ago, it only raked in $12.7 million, according to US Weekly.
Despite the downfall of the film's premiere, it was noted for its original songs that were all sung by Bowie. Some of the songs include "Into the Labyrinth," "As The World Falls Down," and the popular "Magic Dance," where Connelly and Bowie shared a waltz.
Connelly's baby brother in the film, Toby Froud, is all grown up and recently made a Magic Dance tribute for Bowie's passing.
"I found this clip from the first night of shooting 'Lessons Learned' [his short film]. Tired and feeling silly we broke out 'Dance Magic' In a celebration of Puppets, film making, and Bowie! In Memory of David Bowie," his caption said, according to Metro.
