Note: Show does not drop until tomorrow/tonight at midnight, but it's soon enough for thread.
For those not in the know, here is a trailer:
The series is a prequel to the Henson/Brian Froud film from 1982, in which three Gelflings—Rian (Taron Egerton), Brea (Anya Taylor-Joy) and Deet (Nathalie Emanuelle)—inspire a rebellion against the Skeksis when they discover a horrifying secret behind their power that threatens their world of Thra. Also starring the voice talents of: Eddie Izard, Helena Bonham-Carter, Catriona Balfe, Shazad Latif, Toby Jones, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Lena Headley, Alicia Vikander, Natalie Dormer, Mark Strong, Jason Isaacs, Simon Pegg, Awkwafina, Benedict Wong, Harvey Fierstein, Andy Samberg, Keegan-Michael Key, Mark Hamill, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, and Sigrouney Weaver....sweet jesus that voice cast in insane!
Anyways, I'm excited. This movie, and Henson's other main 80's fantasy work LABYRINTH are two of the films I most remember loving from my youth, and I'm really excited to see what modern effects and puppetry and such a stellar voice cast can do with the world! I'm at the cottage tonight, and as such very likely I'll be up at Midnight when the first ep drops, so I might watch it then.
