The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance took to the stage at SDCC 2019. This was a chance to learn more about the series, including the development.
One of the most highly anticipated Netflix series of the year is The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. A prequel to the 1980s movie and starring Outlander’s Caitriona Balfe, it’s not surprising that the SDCC 2019 was one of the more popular ones of the weekend. And rightly so, with a special look at the development of the series.
Unlike so many other shows and movies right now, The Dark Crystal is all puppets. There’s no CGI (except the green screening tools for the backgrounds) and everything is going to be as it was for the original movies. Those who are fans of the Jim Henson movie will feel like they’re transported directly back into that world.
