You can see above in the thread what's on the Mystery Disc. Mainly it's 35+ long-lost scenes from Wild at Heart.

And yet he still won't allow the release of the Fire Walk With Me deleted footage until he can get a studio to pay for polished post-production work?

He has shown his gratitude. He gives you more art for your support. That's all any artist should give, none are obligated to give you more than that. Plus I'm sure the exclusives in this set will be released seperately or be able to rented somehow.

The Twin Peaks footage can be cleaned up, the Wild At Heart footage can't. Nothing contradictory there.

I'm asking because I honestly don't know: has this ever been confirmed with an actual Lynch quote or is it a prevalent rumor?

Whoops, how did I miss that? Hoping for that pilot can blind I guess.

According to Dugpa.com, the information came from David Lynch's website.

"Lynch however, has stated in his chatroom on many occasions that New Line simply did not want to pay what it cost to do it right. The problem is that Lynch would love to release the scenes, however, he wants to do them right. This includes full hi-def transfers, editing, and sound mixing. This will cost a whole lot of money."

Great deal on this with the current 25% off sale at DVD Planet.

I can't get it to let me apply the sale to that set. How did you do it?

You have to wait until Tuesday to order it.

LA Times review of the set.

Info about the "Mystery Disk" from that review:

16-minute interview with Lynch (he even talks about Twin Peaks)
There's even a video of some Wild at Heart deleted scenes.

Review from dugpa.

i didnt buy this set yet but im disappointed to see that the RABBITS series seems to be incomplete.

I'm getting sort of nervous that the infamous "Fire Walk With Me" deleted scenes might show up in some similarly prestige-priced set. Like a $300 "Complete Twin Peaks" set that comes with the ten DVDs of the series that Paramount released in the Gold Box, the existing FWWM disc, and a twelfth DVD containing the deleted scenes.

Re: David Lynch Box Set --> "The Lime Green Set": 11/18/08
 

For anyone interested, the LIME GREEN Set is available at Davidlynch.com for $120.00 with free UPS shipping.

Also, I understand that Rabbits is not missing any episodes, but the eight episodes have been condensed into four for some reason.

INDUSTRIAL SYMPHONY #1, DUMBLAND, SHORT FILMS and obviously everything on the "Mystery Disc" I do not have. I have all four feature films (I don't quite understand "Elepehant Man Extras - DVD debut" since the DVD I have has what appear to be the same or at least similar extras on it.

I would just toss the four movies I have on eBay, but I can't bear to give up my ERASERHEAD box set. We'll see. Even for $60.00 off, it's still a tough one. Maybe if I get a 40% coupon from Borders...

Re: David Lynch Box Set --> "The Lime Green Set": 11/18/08
 

Tempting, but I have a feeling that once Lynch fully embraces Blu-ray that a lot of his material will be released in HiDef. Seeing as how I own just about everything commercially available (and then some) from his catalog, I can wait.

Re: David Lynch Box Set --> "The Lime Green Set": 11/18/08
 

Nice, but I have already three of the movies included, so
paying 180$ for Erazerhead, and some nice shorts is not a good idea for me...

Espetially with the Blu-Ray market evolving.

Re: David Lynch Box Set --> "The Lime Green Set": 11/18/08
 

I'm not sold on Blu-Ray just yet. It does look good, but not enough for me to replace much I already have.

I have an up converting DVD player that seems to work just fine.

So far the only movies I have considered replacing are the Kubrick titles, Close Encounters and maybe Dune if it gets a domestic Blu-Ray release.

Re: David Lynch Box Set --> "The Lime Green Set": 11/18/08
 

Actually, he's been working on releasing the deleted scenes for years. The problem is that he does not own the footage. He has not been able to strike a deal with the French company that owns it (CIBY 2000).

Re: David Lynch Box Set --> "The Lime Green Set": 11/18/08
 

2001 is absolutely gorgeous on Blu-ray.

Re: David Lynch Box Set --> "The Lime Green Set": 11/18/08
 

That's not the way I've heard it. New Line was willing to pay CIBY 2000 for rights to the deleted scenes, but Lynch insisted that they also pay for him to fully post-produce, edit, and sound design the footage to make a series of standalone "vingnette" short films set in the Twin Peaks universe. New Line wouldn't go that far. The studio eventually dropped their negotiations on the subject, and released the DVD without deleted scenes.

Re: David Lynch Box Set --> "The Lime Green Set": 11/18/08
 

I desperately want the Rabbits episodes, but don't want the Elephant Man stuff; plus already have the Short Films, Eraserhead and Wild at Heart, so probably not worth the $204.07 CAD price for me.

Re: David Lynch Box Set --> "The Lime Green Set": 11/18/08
 

I'm hoping that since WB hinted in the HTF chat that Twin Peaks might be coming sometime that Lynch will get another opportunity to do this right.

Re: David Lynch Box Set --> "The Lime Green Set": 11/18/08
 

Can you be a bit more specific? By "Twin Peaks", do you mean "Fire Walk With Me"? WB doesn't have anything to do with the television series, right?
