Kimmy looks like a B-52 there.

Deadline confirms Naomi Watts (incredible in Lynch's Mulholland Drive) and Tom Sizemore.

 

This confirms a few other things I've heard. It's nice to see Sizemore's recovery in the business continuing.

Kyle talks to the Seattle Times.

 

 

Sometimes an actor known for creating an iconic character must be coaxed into returning to that role, but not Yakima native Kyle MacLachlan.

 

He had no hesitation about putting on the black suit to once again become FBI agent Dale Cooper in the 2017 Showtime “Twin Peaks” revival.

 

MacLachlan remained friends with “Twin Peaks” co-creator David Lynch after the ABC series ended, and whenever the two met MacLachlan always tried to mention what a fun experience the show had been. Eventually, Lynch told MacLachlan that he and “Twin Peaks” co-creator Mark Frost had been talking.

 

“I, of course, encouraged that, and somewhere along the line he asked if I would ever be interested in returning, and I said I would return in a minute. I love that character,” MacLachlan said. He spoke by phone from Los Angeles on Friday morning (Jan. 29) before filming scenes for “Twin Peaks” that afternoon.

 

“David keeps his cards very close to the vest,” he said, “and it wasn’t until they had something in place that we had a meeting, and then it became much more real. They had found a way back into the story they were excited about.”

 

Production on new “Twin Peaks” episodes began last year, with about six weeks spent in Washington in September. The bulk of the new episodes were shot in Los Angeles.

 

“The funny thing is, many of the locations I never visited in the pilot,” MacLachlan said, ticking off places he made it to this time that were new to him. “Laura Palmer’s house (was new), the sheriff’s station (was not). The diner I didn’t visit on this occasion. So it was a mishmash. Some locations had changed and had to be rebuilt, so it wasn’t really like going back in that way.”

 

MacLachlan said fans turned out during filming at the Palmer house in Everett, but the “Twin Peaks” team tried its best to retain the show’s secrets. (So far, MacLachlan is the only announced cast member, but reports suggest actors Sheryl Lee, Ray Wise, Grace Zabriskie, Sherilyn Fenn, Richard Beymer, Mädchen Amick, Miguel Ferrer, Harry Goaz, Kimmy Robertson, Dana Ashbrook and James Marshall will be back.)

 

Don’t expect any spoilers from MacLachlan on how the new “Twin Peaks” will explain the last scene from the final season on ABC: Cooper, possessed by the evil spirit Bob, head-butting a mirror and crazily asking, “How’s Annie?” — the name of Cooper’s love interest, played by Heather Graham.

 

“It’s a tricky question to answer,” MacLachlan said, “so I’m not going to answer it. I think people will be very happy with what we’re doing.”

 

MacLachlan said it wasn’t tough to get back into character — “that black suit is a very powerful emblem” — and other than “feeling much older” when he saw himself in the Cooper get-up in a mirror, he said it was as if no time has passed.

 

Friday afternoon he was needed on the “Twin Peaks” set, but he offered no hints about the scene he was about to film.

 

“There’s a black suit involved,” he said, chuckling. “That’s all I can say.”

TP's own Alicia Witt (very possibly back on the new show) is also joining The Walking Dead:

Ashley Judd apparently joins the cast.

Hollywood legend Harry Dean Stanton photographed on-set last fall. Stanton played enigmatic trailer park owner Carl Rodd in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me. Some of Stanton's location scenes also featured Mädchen Amick (Shelly) and Amanda Seyfried, and were set in the Fat Trout Trailer Park. This is either the same Fat Trout that Carl ran in Deer Meadow in FWWM, or a new one he's established in Twin Peaks.

 

 

Deadline compiles a great deal of information which was unfortunately leaked to them en masse by an irresponsible fan. Since it's now public knowledge I might as well post it all.

 

A couple corrections: There is no actual word about Gary Hershberger (Mike Nelson) returning, though I wouldn't be surprised. Jennifer Jason Leigh playing the mysterious "Judy" from FWWM is only fan spec/rumor right now and I doubt it very much. And they mentioned the wrong Frost.

Ashley Judd? 

 

Well, we'll see...

What's wrong with Ashley Judd?

She's a competent enough actress, but she has no inner life or personality. I used to enjoy her many years ago but she's just sort of there. I can't say I think of David Lynch when I think of her.

I guess I never judged Ashley Judd that harshly. She seemed pretty tough on environmental issues in Applachia, which I very much admired.

I'm not talking about her as a person. I mean as an actress.

I have no complaints with her as an actress, honestly. I don't think she picks the right projects most of the time but I think she's a solid talent, and she was incredible in Bug with Michael Shannon, one of the few films she's done which is really good.

 

People are already speculating that she's Donna Hayward, but I doubt that for a variety of reasons.
