"It should come as no surprise to anyone that Jim Henson, who would have been 75 today, had a lot more up his sleeves that he didn’t get to complete. One such work is an unproduced, feature-length screenplay co-written with Jerry Juhl, which turned up in The Jim Henson Company’s archives. According to info from Archaia, Tale of Sand:

tells the story of a man who is kicked out of a dusty town in the middle of the desert, with no memory of who he is or where he came from. Relentlessly pursued by an unknown assailant, and with only a rucksack of odds-and-ends to his name, he embarks on a desperate race across an increasingly bizarre landscape with only one thing in mind: survival.

While the book isn’t due out until November, the first 20 pages will appear on Archaia.com starting today, so go over and check out one of Jim Henson’s latest works."
