Find your way through the Labyrinth in September

Today’s announcements and revelations are out of control!

Someone over at Walmart has jumped the gun and listed Sony’s upcoming catalog release slate, from July through October. There isn’t the slightest hint of a detail about any of these discs outside of title and release date but that’s not going to stop me from crowing about that fact that we’ll be seeing Labyrinth in high-def this September!

Far from rumour, (the Henson Company has confirmed the release via Twitter, adding that the Dark Crystal isn’t quite ready for Blu yet) this upcoming Blu-ray edition of Labyrinth may well be the Special Edition that fans have been waiting for! DVD versions have served up simple, yet fairly good looking bare-bones releases, leaving fans to dream of the supplemental material that might one day be included on a future disc. That day may have come!

Will the Blu-ray offer up a documentary, behind-the-scenes video of Jim Henson and crew, vintage interviews or possibly even the holy grail of Labyrinth on home video - a David Bowie commentary track?

Dare to dream…
