I was told that the movie "Labyrinth" with David Bowie and Jennifer Connolly was being remade. Can anyone verify this for me?

From what research I did, there doesn't seem to be a remake in the offing... at least not in film.
There is a comic/graphic novel that came out in August 2006 called Return to the Labyrinth which focuses on Toby as a sequel. The reviews weren't that good and the book is only the first in the series (possibly of 3).
I enjoyed Labyrinth when it came out but it seems that a movie remake will not be happening (at least not yet).

I wouldn't remake it. The only remake I've ever seen that was worth the effort was Peter Jackson's King Kong. Most remakes are just attempts to cash in again on an idea that was much better the first time around. If someone remade Labyrinth today, he'd probably use CGI creatures and that would take away a lot of the whimsical charm provided by Jim Henson's creations. I'm not totally opposed to CGI effects, but they wouldn't be an improvement in this case. Labyrinth is good the way it is and tinkering with it would more than likely detract from what made it good.

My husband heard the same thing but I think people might have been confused about the new horror flick Pan's Labrynth as a possible remake. This is definately not a film based on the original but an idenpendant horror film.
Sure, Labrynth was cheesy in an 80s kind way but you just gotta love it...esp David Bowie and his ever present stuffed pants.

Oh, goodness...i'm terrified of who they would chose to play sarah's part. ugh...no actress could fill those shoes (let's see...kiera knightly? no. dakota fanning? cute, but no. hillary duff--oh, Lord help us...). And who on earth would play jareth so well as Bowie? i don't think it's possible. hmmm...no, i don't think another version is coming out anytime soon, though there is another fantasy (horror) film with 'labyrinth' in the title--coincidence? i gotta wonder.

No clue, but I hope not. That movie is one of my favorites without a doubt.
