I don’t know exactly, but I know that I’m growing cobwebs waiting for “The Power of the Dark Crystal” to come out. It was announced way back in 2005, and it’s not due to come out until 2011! Aaarrrrggghh! I’ve been waiting 27 years for this sequel!!

Indiana Jones The Kingdom of the Crystal skull took a long time. It was suppose to be released back in 1993, but then they went into a development hell because they had a hard time trying to find a writer for it.
