#DAVID BOWIE LABYRINTH 2 MOVIE#
The manipulations were actually done by juggler-genius Michael Moschen:Īnd, for the opinion of Monty Python’s Terry Jones, who wrote the screenplay, look at a reprint of a 1987 interview right here, in which Jones describes the many ways the movie turned out to be a disappointment to him. Recently I saw this bit of video from the Jim Henson Company, by way of io9, in which we get to see how they filmed the scenes where David Bowie’s character, Jareth, manipulates several crystal balls. The one good thing about Labyrinth: Jennifer Connelly still had her eyebrows back then. The conceptual artist and costume designer on the film was Brian Froud. In this case, the baby in the movie was played by Toby Froud. They all stood around and held lights, cameras and booms while that baby sat there and cried and cried.” What gets to me is that I can’t watch that sort of thing without thinking, “that baby is really crying. It’s not even the sound of the crying babies that gets to me - I can live with that. I hate it because it has too much crying baby in it, and there are two things I hate in the movies: loud telephone rings and crying babies. But I sure know a lot of youngsters who loved it, and there’s an entire generation of youngsters who like it a lot more than anyone liked it when it first came out. I mean Labyrinth the Jim Henson movie from 1986 (executive produced by George Lucas) that starred Jennifer Connelly and, more memorably, David Bowie. Let’s talk about behind the scenes of Labyrinth.
