Same thing for me.

A new TP would last six weeks at most today.

I place a bulk of the blame on Lynch and Mark Frost since it seems like neither one of them had any idea where to take the series once the killer was revealed. I was also disappointed that Fire Walk With Me didn't wrap anything up from the series and instead gave us a story we already knew the outcome to.

I'd go for a revival if both Lynch and Frost were involved, but these are rumours that come around every now and then but never seem to come of anything.

Looking at the following from Wikipedia, it seems that Fire Walk With Me would have been a shitfest regardless of casting problems:

Supermallet

I love Fire Walk With Me. It's one of the most intense and disturbing films Lynch has ever made, and that's saying a lot.

What I cannot forgive is Lynch going off to do Wild at Heart instead of focusing on season two of Twin Peaks. Wild at Heart is one of his worst movies (with only Inland Empire being worse), so Twin Peaks fans got shafted and we got nothing good to show for it.

Jimmy James

Wild at Heart is terrific. Meanwhile, I was always cold to Twin Peaks.

Josh-da-man

I suspect that Inland Empire might be one of the reasons Tarantino wants to retire when he turns sixty.

Supermallet

I wouldn't blame him.

windom

I think it's incorrect that he was working on Wild at Heart during season 2. The film was finished in May of 1990 while season 1 was still airing. It was released in the U.S. in August of 1990. The show was only renewed for season 2 on May 22, 1990. I think they covered this on the Gold Box and may have mentioned the actual reason he wasn't as involved in season 2.

Alan Smithee

Twin Peaks would be unwatchable in today's TV format (with onscreen bugs and excessive commercials.)

Supermallet

You know what they could do? They could produce full episodes of Invitation To Love.

Gizmo

It would be fine.

Wouldn't that place you around episode 5? That's where I'm at with my rewatch, although I was a little leery after watching the pilot. I'm probably going to get some hate for this but I honestly thought the pilot was pretty dull. I thought it went on twice as long as it should have, which, I thought made pacing an issue. It kind of plodded along for 90 minutes and didn't really get anywhere. Also, despite David Lynch directing it, the pilot didn't feel very lynch-like to me. It felt unusually normal. Maybe it was strange by 1990 standards, but it didn't feel that odd to me. Dale Cooper kinda bugged me from time to time. There was more than one occasion where I wanted to yell at him "shut up about the coffee do your damn job."

I first saw this in early 2008 right after I received the set for Christmas, but the one thing I noticed in my rewatch was how no one really seemed unnerved by Laura's murder. I just find it strange since Twin Peaks is supposed to be this small, kind a isolated town where nothing really happens, then all of a sudden this girl gets murdered and no one was really freaking out about it. If this happened today you'd have cops all over the town looking for the murderer. It's kind of funny Lynch didn't make the show more paranoid and darker. It seems very tame compared to his other stuff, especially Blue Velvet.

David Lynch and Mark Frost are being weird on Twitter...

windom

Lynch was also looking for someone on Twitter that could put him in touch with Everett McGill (Big Ed) about two months ago. Something good could be up.

Edit: Looks like they did get in contact with each other: http://welcometotwinpeaks.com/actors...mcgill-big-ed/

Pipe dream: a third season, with every available cast member returning, set 25 years later. Let Netflix produce a 13-episode final season and drop it on fans all at once.

Oh, Christ, please make this happen.

Josh-da-man

Kcor stel!

rocket1312

Man, every couple of years these rumors pop up and they always end in disappointment. At this point I'd take any new film/tv work from Lynch, Twin Peaks or otherwise.

It is happening again...

I would happily subscribe to years worth of Netflix just to binge watch a third season in a day.

Someone brought up composer Angelo Badalamenti when Lynch got his career achievement award in Italy at the end of September, and David said this:

Was he just speculating, or did the "hopefully" mean he was close to making a deal with someone to bring TWIN PEAKS back?

I wouldn't have given today's "Twin Tweets" any credence had only David made the post, but since Mark Frost did as well (at the same time, no less), something has to be up. Usually when rumors in the past have come up, Frost was QUICK to shoot them down. This time he remains mysteriously silent.

windom

Here's something interesting, notice the time on the tweets:



Also, one of the Twin Peaks sites posted on Twitter that TP would be returning as an 8 episode series (season?) on Showtime to be announced Monday. Though they said it was still just a rumor at this point.

It's going to be coffee flavored gum.

Which I will chew a piece of, fly to LA, and spit in Lynch's face.

The Showtime thing sounds too good to be true...but, if true, would be fantastic. No worries about censorship there, and it would actually make sense, since CBS owns Showtime AND CBS/Paramount put out the last Blu-ray set - so there's an established relationship there.
