Hey folks, Harry here with the latest on the flashing red lights and the body bagged lady and the cross-dressing future fbi agent.... Yup... Lynch in da house!!! Heheheh.... Read on and keep the hopes up.... Ya never know...
Hey Harry,
About two months ago, I emailed you a scoop about a company that was interested in financing a new Twin Peaks project with Lynch at the helm. Well, as is usually the case in talkback, a lot of folks bitched and moaned that Lynch wasn't interested, that it would never happen, and that 'ol Agent Jeffries was full of crapola......
So, it is with great pleasure that I send you the following article. It originally appeared in a Belgian Magazine called Humo, and was translated by someone over at Twin Peaks Gazette online.
Here is the translation:
The everlasting series
Exactly ten years ago, American broadcasting station ABC put an end (because of bad ratings) to Twin Peaks, the inimitable cult-series which cast a spell on half the world during 30 episodes and which Channel 2 will broadcast again from tonight. Thousands of questions remained unanswered: will the to 'dough-nuts and damn' good coffee addicted Special Agent Cooper be able to free himself from Killer Bob ? Was it really Leland Palmer, who killed Laura ? What has the Log Lady on her conscience ? And who is the dancing dwarf, anyway ? Maybe, we will shortly get to now all the answers, because according to more and more persistent rumours David Lynch and Mark Frost were to shoot brand-new series of Twin Peaks. Meanwhile David Lynch puts the finishing touches to his new movie 'Mulholland Drive', a mixture of 'Twin Peaks', 'Lost Highway' en 'Blue Velvet', according to the film maker.
- How good is the chance that there will be made another 'Twin Peaks'-series ?
DAVID LYNCH « We had to stop the series before Coop had completely solved the mysterie, so we still have to make all the ends meet. If it was up to me, I would have continued the series for a very long time, because there is nothing better than a story that never ends. »
- What is your new movie 'Mulholland Drive' about ?
LYNCH « I got the idea for 'Mulholland Drive' when I was working on 'Twin Peaks'. The managers of ABC asked me to think of a brand-new television series, which could compete with series as 'Friens' and 'ER' from arch-enemy NBC. I considered 'Mulholland Drive' the ideal title for a television series: it sounds very mysterious, just like 'Lost Highway'. It's about a very old and long road which contains a lot of legends and mysterious stories. I showed them a trial-episode, but they fired it: they thougt it was too slow, too dark and too gloomy. And that settled the matter.
» A year ago I picked up the idea again and now I have made a full movie out of it. I am very satisfied with it, but I still think it is a pity that I wasn't allowed to make television-series of 'Mulholland Drive'. Maybe I should very seriously reconsider the continuation of 'Twin Peaks'...»
