Long-time Lynch associate Charlotte Stewart (Betty Briggs) with Lynch. Unclear if it's from the set, though she's been filming.

 

On an unrelated note: Laura Dern has also been cast in Star Wars: Episode VIII. She's shooting TP now and SW just began filming this week. Big 2017 for her.

Maybe it's the cynic in me, but with such an embarrassment of riches the cast is turning out to be, I fear it might be too much. It could be all this waiting has me taking a turn that will rectify itself by the time the show returns, but I can't help but wonder.

I'd probably be more worried about their spreading the wealth if the shoot isn't shaping up to run for eight or nine months, and adding up to anywhere between 12-18 episodes at least. A great many folks from the original series are back with their own storylines, particularly Dana Ashbrook and Mädchen Amick as Bobby and Shelly. I remember Carl fretting about DA last year, and now it looks like Dana potentially has one of the largest roles of the existing non-Sheriff's Department townsfolk.

 

What little we now know is there is a portion of the story set in Vegas, but I'm pretty sure that leads back to Twin Peaks. I welcome the interlude, since that kind of larger scale was introduced in FWWM (Deer Meadow, the FBI offices in Philadelphia, etc. - and Buenos Aires in the deleted scenes).

More Mädchen and Kimmy.

Mark Frost's upcoming tie-in book is now available for pre-order on Amazon. Set to release on October 18, it will apparently feature "over 100 illustrations and photographs" and will run 304 pages according to a publisher press release.

 

Kyle MacLachlan talks to Indiewire about his many projects, including TP:

 

 

I wanna wrap things up with a "Twin Peaks" question. I'm not looking for spoilers because I'm sure the trained snipers in the corner are ready to pounce, but there's clearly a huge amount of scrutiny applied to that project. We're all excited to see what happens. How do you keep that from distracting you from just doing the work?

 

Speaking for me, the beauty of the set. The environment that is that little universe when we go to the studio or when we go on location — it's quite small and quaint. So, we're like on a little ship in the middle of a giant sea. So while we're doing that, and while it's going on, the focus is really tight and very contained. It's all about what's in front of you and what's around you and seeing what's happening and the relationships.

 

When I'm reminded of it is when I enter into the world and talk about what's happening. It's always challenging to express what that experience is when you are working because it's very intimate. It was kind of the same way on the first one. No real concept or thought of what the expectations are, we are just going about our day-to-day, doing our work the best we can and hopefully making something that will resonate and be challenging and entertaining and all those things you want — provocative [too].

 

For whatever reason, I don't spend a lot of time on the outside looking in. I spend a lot of my time doing my thing and doing it to the best of my ability. Once in a while you say, "I hope this works." But a majority of the time I'm not really thinking about the outer layers. I don't know if that helps explain. It's gonna be what it's gonna be. The thrill of working with David again, creating and working with this character and these scenes with these other actors and even some of the crew we had with the first go around of "Twin Peaks" — they've all returned. That is very special. Every day I go to work and I say I'm very blessed to be working right now, right here and in this moment.

Thanks. Those photos are cute. 

The book's multimedia/visual elements are apparently being designed by the team behind J.J. Abrams' S, which I did not read but the array of different materials looked interesting. I'm glad they are keeping with the found materials aspect of Laura's diary and Cooper's tapes.

 

 

ICYMI: The Secret History of Twin Peaks by Mark Frost will be published on 10/18. It's a novel. The cover will be released soon. VERY SOON.

Another old Kimmy Robertson commercial.

 

I never tire of those.

 

I think I heard a while back that Sheryl Lee actually voiced Waldo the bird doing Laura's voice. She was able to do all sorts of crazy things with her pitch and tone - Laura's voice could turn on a dime depending on who she talked to.

Edited February 19, 20169 yr by Vee

That's fascinating. Waldo's death is one of my favorite dark TP moments.

They need to just give us an early teaser. I'm begging.

Also worth mentioning: The TP 'logo' in the book cover above is actually the symbol from the fateful ring in FWWM, which matches the symbol Cooper and Windom Earle discovered in Owl Cave - which gave them the petroglyph map to the Black Lodge. The ring is returning in the new series, along with many other elements of FWWM.

Happy Twin Peaks Day. Laura Palmer died this morning, somewhere around now, then washed up on the shore some hours later.

 

To memorialize the date, here again is me forcing Joel Bocko's incredible Journey through Twin Peaks video essay upon you:
