The movie “Labyrinth” will forever be immortalized because of one of its stars, David Bowie. The psychedelic 80s “kids” movie also starred Jennifer Connelly as well as a ton of Jim Henson character creations. Recent rumblings are that a remake is in the works. A script has already been written and apparently it’s not an exact reboot but I guess we’ll see. But speaking of Labyrinth, I came across this awesome video today. Weta Workshop Johnny Fraser-Allen is a lifelong Jim Henson fan and sculptor who is working on a 3D board game based on Labyrinth, which he was happy

In a recent episode of Tested, Adam Savage shows off an incredibly cool board game based on Jim Henson's classic '80s film Labyrinth. It's being created by Weta Workshop sculptor Johnny Fraser-Allen, who is currently working on the miniatures. The detail on this thing is absolutely amazing!
On a visit to effects studio Weta Workshop, Adam Savage meets and chats with artists who bring their own obsessions and passion projects to work. Sculptor Johnny Fraser-Allen, who is working on miniatures for Jim Henson's Labyrinth board game, shares with Adam his own intricate maze miniature, which will end up being the size of an entire room!
This thing is going to end up being huge! It will be the size of an entire room!? Looks like I'll have to buy a house with an extra room if I want to own one of these things... which I do!

After starring in Lost and Peter Jackson's adaptation of The Hobbit, Evangeline Lilly is practically Comic-Con royalty, but she's down in San Diego this year promoting a very different sort of project: The Squickerwonkers, a clever, creepy children's book she wrote (with beautiful illustrations from Weta artist Johnny Fraser Allen). It's a career change Lilly has been working toward her whole life, but it's been long in coming — and this morning, she told Vulture what had to happen in her life before she felt courageous enough to put pen to paper.The Squickerwonkers is an idea you've been carrying around since you were 14, but when did you decide that you could actually write this book and get it published? What had to happen first? Well, I'd had this incredible opportunity that occurred with Lost where I suddenly had this fantastic job — a great-paying job in a great place,...

Evangeline Lilly is no stranger to Comic-Con. Lost, which gave Lilly her breakout role, ventured to San Diego even before it debuted in 2004. And now she’s a certified member of the J. R. R. Tolkien universe, as Tauriel in the upcoming The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.
This year, however, the actress is promoting her new children’s book, The Squickerwonkers, with an assist from Weta Workshop illustrator Johnny Fraser-Allen, who worked on special effects for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. So that gives us license to squeeze in a few Hobbit questions, right?
