With “Game of Thrones” smashing Emmy and viewership records for its final season this year and a highly-anticipated “Lord of the Rings” series in the works at Amazon, it’s fair to say fantasy world…
, “The Dark Crystal” has one key point of difference: the show uses puppets instead of actors.
“We always thought about the person who hadn’t seen the original movie, didn’t know the lore, because this is going wide all around the world,” Addiss points out. “The pilot in particular was very tricky because there’s so much there, that balancing act was something that we were working on until the last moment, particularly with the prologue.”
“We settled very early on the idea that this show was in defense of the moral high ground and we wanted this show to espouse values that were congruent with the things that Jim Henson was about because that’s a huge part of his legacy. It isn’t just a legacy about cute puppets and interesting creatures, it’s a world view about collaboration and unity and people coming together for the greater good,” he says.
Leterrier took the approach of synthesizing the old and the new, putting the intricately crafted puppets at the center of the drama and using newer cameras and CGI to make the world more vivid, more dynamic. Addiss reveals that they shot the entire show first before bringing in the voice cast, who then had to match their lines to the puppets’ “mouth flaps,” while still bringing their own performance and vocal nuances to the roles.
