Labyrinth is just child hood no one can't replace bowie he was perfect for the role

I met Bowie's stunt double several years back at Comic Con, and he was telling me about how, during filming, Bowie took him to some concert or music festival thing. Apparently, Bowie thought a pair of sunglasses was enough of a disguise. Yeah, they ended up, and I quote Nick Gillard here "Going for a very rapid jog with a lot of fans!" After Bowie left us to go home, this was one of the first things I thought of. Right before I bawled my eyes out. P.S. I still find it amusing that Beverley Crusher was one of the choreographers.

Also, I read somewhere that during the filming of the movie they were looking for a vest-jacket for David Bowie to wear. One of the assistant production managers went to a used/consignment clothing store looking for one - and she found one that was perfect. And inside the vest-jacket was a name tag that had a name still discernible on it after so many years. And the name was "L. Frank Baum."

"David Bowie unexpectedly returned to the stars." There's a starman waiting in the sky....

I brought a friend to the movie today ( AMC played it) and told him at the start to look at Bowie's pants. 😂 He couldn't not see it .

Who's still watching in 2018? I am, so I'd like to share some facts I learned from Jim Henson's biography... 1. An addition to your first fact: Before they considered singers, they also considered actors like Simon MacCorkindale and Kevin Kline. When they did consider singers, it was Jim Henson who really wanted Sting, but - lucky for us - his 2 sons, Brian and John, protested in favour of Bowie, and voila! (Bowie had also been requested as a special guest on the Muppet Show by some of the Muppet performers, but had never made it, so it's nice that he was the one chosen for Labyrinth all those years later!) 2. Speaking of considering live actors, a lot of actresses auditioned for the role of Sarah, including Sarah Jessica Parker, Laura Dern, Mia Sara, Mary Stuart Masterson, Ally Sheedy, Jane Krakowski, and even a then 17-year-old Helena Bonham Carter. It took almost 10 months, and when Connelly auditioned in early 1985, she was pronounced "just right" almost the moment she walked in. 3. An addition to your facts about Hoggle: When Bowie first started learning how to interact with the puppets, he and an especially hard time with Hoggle. However, he laughed it off later, saying, "Once I'd overcome the disorientation, we all got along great!" 4. Speaking of learning to interact with puppets, Connelly also had trouble at first interacting naturally with them; she recalled it being hard in the beginning, because "it's strange thinking you're talking to a puppet." However, when the illusion became real to her, she explained, "The puppeteers make them so lifelike...and you can learn to really relate to each one of them." 5. The fierys were originally going to be called "wild things", but it was decided that that sounded too much like the story "Where the Wild Things Are". 6. Bowie winkingly describes Jareth as a "spoiled child, vain and temperamental, kind of like a rock 'n' roll star", although Jim Henson found Bowie to be nothing like that, and even described him as a "normal, well-grounded, straightforward person". Similarly, Connelly described Bowie some 30 years later as a "lovely, sweet guy". 7. On the first day of filming, since George Lucas was the executive producer, he surprised everyone y arranging for Darth Vader to stroll onto the set and present Jim Henson with a good-luck card. 8. Jim Henson seemed to be impressed with both of his human stars. Of Connelly, he explained, "I found I could talk very straight to her; I didn't have to tiptoe around her feelings or anything like that"; she didn't crave the constant reassurance many around Jim seemed to need. He also wrote privately that Bowie "had been wonderful to work with, and had added a truly magical spark as Jareth", and gave Bowie a free hand with the songs. And vice versa, Bowie admiringly described Jim as he most "unflappable guy he'd ever encountered in any profession", that he "couldn't believe Jim's capacity for work", and that his calm spirit made the whole film "a pleasure to work on for the entire cast and crew". 9. And now, a funny behind-the-scenes story: One day, Jim Henson's son, John, visited the set with a friend, and was starstruck when Bowie greeted him in one of the costumes as Jareth. At the end of the day, when finally out of costume and makeup, Bowie sought John out (apparently wearing a bright red jacket at the time), and John was so awed by the sight of the celebrity that he and his friend ducked out of the studio, unnoticed. "Supposedly, David Bowie went around looking for us for about an hour afterward," John sheepishly recalled later on, "But we were gone!" And that's the extent of my knowledge! (I hope I didn't sound like a know-it-all? This was all stuff I learned from reading a biography of Jim Henson.)

I watched this movie so much as a kid that we actually named our cat Hoggle.

RIP David Bowie. Labyrinth is a masterpiece. Nobody else could have done better.

"Cos David Bowie was the freaking best." PREACH!

Here's another one: This movie's screenplay was written by Terry Jones from Monty Python.

Another fact - there were (obviously) multiple Hoggles made for the film, but what a lot of people don't know is that one of the puppets never made it to the set. He was lost during travel and was found in the Alabama airports baggage claim some years later completely decayed. He was repaired (very badly - like seriously he's scary looking) and put on display. I thought the repaired Hoggle was scary, but the pictures of him when he was found give me nightmares.

This movie, CGI owl and all, was freaking AWESOME! It was a trailblazer! And David Bowie's soundtrack is still one of the best!

Labyrinth is one of the greatest fantasy films of all the 80’s Here’s my list of my favourite films from the 80’s 1. Labyrinth 2. Never Ending Story 3. Dark Crystal 4. The Goonies 5. Back to the Future And Plus David Bowie was iconic as Jareth Labyrinth (that’s his last name)

I'm still obsessed with this film I love it ngl I watch is over 100 a year I'm not joking (probably more) it's an obsession

I still love this movie. Bless David Bowie

"How do you like my labyrinth?" It's been decades since I saw the movie last and still that line made my heart stop for a second! You do have power over me Goblin King.

This was one of the most influential movies of my childhood. Henson and Froud were a magical pairing and adding Bowie into the mix made this beautifully brilliant. We all NEED a bit of magic in our lives and this is a timeless provider of that! And lets not forget "The Dark Crystal" too! Oh And "Legend" (Tim Curry is such an amazing actor) And the cartoon "The Last Unicorn"! lol I was so lucky to be literally shaped into who I am today thanks to all these gems!

The original Hoggle puppet somehow ended up at the Unclaimed Baggage Museum in Scotsboro, AL. Eventually the Hensen company found out that it had ended up there and allowed the museum to keep it. The museum itself is one smallish room of display cases within the Unclaimed Baggage store. I assume it is still there, I saw it about ten years ago and still think about this often.

Fairly good but you missed: 1. This was a concept Terry Jones and Brian Froud had for a sequel to Time Bandits which then morphed into 'Labyrinth'2. John Lasseter directed the CGI owl sequence.3. There's Darth Vader, a stormtrooper and a gamorrean guard reflected in the armour of the goblins.

There has been a lot of that going on for me since this gorgeous man passed, dreams of him holding my hand and comforting me, co-incidences like thinking of him or googling him and a Bowie song comes on the radio, candles turning into infernos whilst listening to his music and talking about him, lots of special Bowie-ness happening. I have had quite alot of things happen over the past 6 months. Last one was a few days ago when I went to my local bookstore and bought 'On Bowie' got back to work a few seconds later and Life on Mars was on the radio. Makes me feel connected in some way.

Tootsie Bellevue That's honestly really awesome. Thank you for sharing with us. Clearly he is watching over you as well *nods*

"one of the most batshit parts in a fully batshit movie" lol I have to agree. I love Labyrinth but it's totally insane.

Rest in paradise David Bowie

I can imagine Michael as the Goblin King😍But at the same time, David rocks the hair

Oh god...I knew _all_ of these. I never know all of these. I'm in too deep, man. I'm in this fandom _too goddamn deep_ .

join the club...i watched it for the first time two weeks ago and im freaking hooked

Brian Froud is one of my favorite artists

I still remember this movie and it’s been more than 10 years now. This will forever remain in my heart. Thank you, David.

RIP Bowie. What a multi-talented man.

I have shown a few people of recent times this movie for the first time, all hate it. But as for me and my sister, mom, and aunts, it will always be a tear jerking masterpiece

So far everyone I've shown this movie to don't like it. And then they see it again and they always tell me they've changed their minds.

When I first showed it to one of my friends we got to just before the Fiery bit and she told me she was bored and didn't want to watch it anymore. She made me turn it off. Now it's one of her favorite movies and we're constantly throwing lines at each other. To be fair, Sarah is not the most redeemable character in the beginning of the film. I didn't really care for it much when I first watched because I thought she was so overdramatic (and this could in part be because the movie didn't really highlight any of Sarah's backstory save for subtle stuff in the background - stuff I didn't catch until the 2nd and 3rd time around) and kind of spoiled.

Maybe it has to do with when they watch it? My friend recently watched "Jaws" and "A Christmas Story" and he was just like "Meh". I wonder if they'd liked these classics if they'd seen them when they were younger.

"A fully batshit movie." Wonderfully succinct and accurate description :)

Bowie bulge would not be the same without Bowie.

There is an awesome video by Flight of the Concords, called Bowies in space. If you've never seen it, you should.

In October I met Wendy who is the mother of Toby and helped Jim Henson with the making of the movie and created the designs of the goblins, and she signed my Labyrinth picture and we got a picture together. She's friends with my art teacher so she came to school for a day to talk about the set and how she makes the goblins and what it was like working with David ❤

Who else but Bowie? His looks like an elf for crist sakes! He was perfect!

David bowie was perfect for his part he's got the style and he's got that attitude

This film is bat shit crazy, I loved it as a kid and my kids love it to, we still all still watch this 80s classic often, shame they didn’t make a number two, rip bowie you are a legend

I love MJ, but Bowie was PERFECT for this role, hands down.

THANK GOD IT WAS BOWIE

This is just 'the making of the labyrinth 'word for word

David Bowie unmatched anytime anywhere.

Really gives you more of an appreciation for this movie seeing how much hard work it took to make.

He was like a living Yoshitaka Amano painting in this film.

Did you know that Amano and Neil Gaiman collaborated on a reimagining story called the Thin White Duke where he did draw Bowie in 2004?

"Because David Bowie was the freakin' best." Yes. 100%.

Oh man, I watched this movie so many times. These background secrets just made it all the better

I freaking love Labyrinth!

Some other things people might not know. 1. Brian Henson, Jim Henson’s son, voiced the role of Hoggle and you can see him also operating the character t 7:31. 2. Although it is now considered a cult classic, it was actually a failure at the box office taking less than half it's production cost at the box office. Legend, another fantasy movie from the year before also only took half its production cost at the box office. 3. It was the last movie Jim Henson directed, probably because it was a flop. His previous movie The Dark Crystal was a hit. 4. The Wiseman puppeteer is Frank Oz who also did the voice of that other wise man, YODA in Star Wars. 5. The weird upside down room which is shown in the this video is taken from the most famous work of the artist M. C. Escher entitled Relativity. She has a print of it on her wall in the opening of the film.

I so wish Jim Henson got to see that it became a well-loved film before he died. From what I recall, it's because it did poorly that it was his last film. Not that he knew he decided it would be his last but that he took a break from movies because it wasn't a hit.

OH SO THAT'S WHAT THE PAINTING IS CALLED! i knew who made it, but i had no idea that it was named Relativity!!

R.I.P David Bowie gone but never forgotten

We miss you, and we still love you, David Bowie!

Wow, all this time I honestly thought that Bowie did his own hand tricks with the crystal balls... I even remember hearing that he had at some point, so I was absolutely convinced until they actually showed the angle that revealed Motion... Guess you learn something new every day

This is literally all stuff you can learn from watching the first 10 minutes of the "making of" documentary.

I didn't know that David wasn't doing the crystal ball tricks. It looked so real.

All of this is in the special features of the DVD! Dude, was hoping you would have some information that isn't so easily accessible!

Billy Idol is the only substitute I’d (maybe) be willing accept for David Bowie as the character Jareth.

Love the soundtrack to this day lol !! RIP David Bowie and your magik balls ..........

#2: Yet more proof that Jim Henson's workshop was the most amazing thing in cinema.

One of my favourite films of my childhood and I still love it to this day great film no one could of pulled this off except david bowie

My favourite bit of trivia from it is that one of the dance choreographers is Gates McFadden, aka Beverly Crusher from Star Trek: The Next Generation.
