The classic fantasy movie Labyrinth, starring David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly, is getting a sequel. Because of course it is.

We kick and scream and rage against every remake of an iconic classic, and yet Hollywood keeps spitting them out. And why not? We’ve been repeating stories round the fireplace since the invention of fire, because people ultimately want more of the same.

Yet, every once in a while, it’s still shocking that anyone would want to touch such an iconic classic as (well, insert your own untouchable classic here). A lot of people are certainly feeling that way about the news that Jim Henson’s Labyrinth, the 1986 fantasy musical that brought us David Bowie’s Goblin King, is getting a ‘continuation.’

The Hollywood Reporter writes that Don’t Breathe director Fede Alvarez will co-write and direct the new version movie, which is at least good news — Alvarez is a great director, after all.

Another thing that doesn’t suck about this news is that, since it’s a continuation and not a straight reboot, there actually won’t be any representation of the Goblin King in the movie, which means we won’t have to deal with another Willy Wonka-type situation.

According to THR insiders, the movie is “a continuation of the story set in the rich Henson universe.” This implies that Alvarez and co-writer Jay Basu (the pair are also working on the sequel to The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) want to build on Henson’s world, which could be interesting — but also a bit of a head-scratcher, since a big part of Labyrinth‘s charm was its very 80s-looking puppets and special effects, and of course the draw of David Bowie himself.

Without the Goblin King, and with the aid of 21st century special effects, what will a sequel to Labyrinth look and feel like? Why does it need to tie into the original movie, as opposed to just being a standalone, modern fantasy film? (Hypothetical question, as tying it into a property we recognize obviously attracts attention.)

We want to trust that Alvarez will do this project justice, and it is reassuring that Lisa Henson of The Jim Henson Company has signed on to produce it. We certainly won’t write it off before we learn more about what they have planned.

But we just have one question…
