Netflix's The Dark Crystal prequel series to somehow feature even more famous voices
One does not simply “add” Lena Headey, Awkwafina, and Sigourney Weaver to Netflix’s epic prequel to 1982's The Dark Crystal two months before its premiere, but, hey, that’s what Deadline is reporting. Netflix, it seems, has opted for the route of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune, choosing to stagger its casting announcements lest the project completely collapse beneath the weight of so many celebs. With this announcement, though, we’d say Age Of Resistance has officially edged out Villeneuve’s multi-pronged adaptation of Frank Herbert’s sci-fi epic in terms of pure star wattage. The above trio, after all, joins a cast that’s already bolstered by the likes of Taron Egerton, Helena Bonham Carter, Simon Pegg, Andy Samberg, Eddie Izzard, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Mark Strong, and Alicia Vikander, among others (including, we must stress, Harvey goddamned Fierstein).
