[Digisaur]

Here's the story from Ain't It Cool News...

Holy Sweet Puppet Poo! Genndy Tartakovsky to direct THE POWER OF THE DARK CRYSTAL!!! (http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=22348)

Here's the goodz..

"Genndy Tartakovsky directing THE POWER OF THE DARK CRYSTAL... with Brian Froud back to design new characters... brought to life through amazing puppets and CG backgrounds ("like SIN CITY" and the forthcoming 300)."
"Production is supposed to begin late this summer, pre-production is already busy as hell... and how much do we all want to see those new Brian Froud character designs... like the Fire Girl that steals the Crystal to use it's power to help reignite the dying sun around their planet. WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT LOOK LIKE?"

I think fully 3D CG characters could show a greater depth of emotion, but I'm glad the director is willing to keep it old school with puppets.

No way, I think animatronics is way better. I'm getting tired of watching hi-res cartoons. I prefer puppet shows:P

I think I'm going to wet myself.. YAYNESS!!! <3

Edit: excuse the incoherent reply. Anyways - I'm really keeping my hopes up for this, it has great potential in the hands of Tartakovsky. Lets hope noone butchers it in the last moment.
