Mark Frost breaks his silence to discuss the return of TP. Some interesting tidbits about the new series and the book!

 

 

Now Moby may be involved in the new season.

 

Lovely news, as Moby was involved in a recent Lynch musical tribute, and one of his earliest dance hits was "Go", which was basically a cover of Laura Palmer's theme.

Mortified that I forgot to post this second clip - Mark Frost reading from his upcoming book, The Secret History of Twin Peaks:

 

 

So a TP press event is being set up on the Paramount lot in L.A. - I was told it was for an exhibition of the new series to foreign distributors, but I'm not sure on the details. There were doubts as to what they may or may not show, if any of it will leak to the public or the Internet; sometimes footage does get leaked from these events, as with the big comic book movies or summer blockbusters, other times only synopses get recounted by witnesses. I thought the event was next week, so I'm not so sure - seems like it may be on now.

 

Either way, this material is now circulating as are photos of several celebs and attendees, including Psych's Dule Hill (Psych did a TP tribute episode):

I love the Dule Hill one. I wonder where the other guy (Rodray?) was.

Look sharp.

 

 

The Dugpa forums have apparently been looking for this finale promo for years - I stumbled upon it at 8:31 here. White Queen, Black Lodge.

 

 

 

Piper Laurie narrates the audiobook version of her memoir, in which she discusses her time on the show.

David Nevins now says TP is in the editing room, but expects it to air in the second quarter of 2017 (April-June).

Speaking of Lynch/Frost's On the Air, which I wish I could see more of:

Still sad he's apparently not appearing in the new show, as he was clearly a favorite of the showrunners. I'd take more Dick over Duke's recurring annoying visitations. 

The lovely and talented Amber Tamblyn (GH's original Emily), a constant presence with her father Russ at TP events over the years, discusses the show's return while doing an interview on her directorial debut, Paint it Black.

 

"Growing up, I was influenced heavily by [David Lynch]," says Tamblyn, whose mother is a film composer and her father, Russ Tamblyn, played Riff in West Side Story and will reprise his role as Dr. Lawrence Jacoby on the upcoming Twin Peaks reboot with Lynch. "The tone of [my] film is very visually dark. I was influenced by that era of supernatural fairy tales. There's always a monster that no one ever sees, but it's in the human psyche. It's in how people behave towards each other when they are in their most animalistic brain. […] I want to watch a movie that has a heightened sense of what I feel, or what I've experienced."

 

[...]

 

[W]ere you interested in being a part of the Twin Peaks reboot and working with your father?

 

Yes, I was. I actually went in and David Lynch had a very specific process as he was doing the TV show, where he just had people come in and tell a story. I wanted to get in to that, for sure. While that would have been awesome, I would never, ever presume that just because David did a piece of art for my book, or he's had my dad in a couple things, that he should also cast me. That guy is the master of knowing exactly who to cast, and for what. I can't wait to see what he came up with. I know what my dad's storyline is, and it's pretty incredible. I can't wait to see it when it comes to fruition.

 

I also saw Amber on MSNBC the other day stumping for Hillary.

25 years ago today:

Robert Forster talks TP.

 

You've got another man in uniform coming up, this time a cop in uniform, playing for David Lynch in "Twin Peaks." What was exciting about that collaboration, and also maybe a little daunting about stepping into a role that another actor had previously played?

 

Well now, first of all, I am under compulsion to not speak about that role. I can now say they've announced the fact that I'm in the picture -- and 216 other cast members. What a big cast! David Lynch, what a good guy he is. He wanted to hire me for the original, 25 years ago, for a part, and I was committed to another guy for a pilot that never went. So I didn't do the original "Twin Peaks," which would have been a life-changer. It's a gigantic hit if you remember those years, a phenomenon. But I didn't do that.

 

But later, he hired me in "Mulholland Drive," which was going to be a television series, but did not [become a series]. Didn't get on the schedule. So he bought the picture apparently and shot some more things and made it into a great movie, "Mulholland Drive." And this time, I got a call from my agents and they said, David Lynch is going to call you. When he called me five minutes later, he said, "I'd like you to come and work with me again." And I said, "Whatever it is David, here I come!"

 

So whereas I cannot talk about the role, I can tell you that he is one of the great artists in this business, and he does things that ... when he needs something, everybody pulls hard and makes it happen. What else? He's one of those guys who, after a shot, you hear "action," you hear "cut," you hear a few minutes of him rolling around in his mind, and everybody's quiet and waiting to hear what he's going to say. And sometimes he says, "Shoot it again," but sometimes he says, "Okay, we got it. Move on." This is a guy who knows a great shot when he does it, and can move on. It's an art form to know how strong your shot is, and whether or not that's going to fit with your needs.

 

He's an artist, and there aren't many. Alexander Payne, also. These are good guys and good directors. And Quentin [Tarantino]. Gee, I've worked with some fine directors, going back to John Huston and Robert Mulligan and some good ones. What can I say about that? Working with David was a real joy, and I'm hopeful that I get a chance to live long enough to get a chance to do it again.

From a 2002 documentary about Lynch which emerged online - Lynch, Sheryl Lee and Kyle MacLachlan discuss FWWM at 20:55. Kyle represents really the mainstream view of the film from the '90s, one shared by a number of cast members (Peggy Lipton, Richard Beymer, etc). But I believe Kyle has come around since then, as he and Lynch have almost always been close. And Lynch was right that people had begun to come around about FWWM - now, over a decade after this doc, the film is even more popular.
