    Twin Peaks returns (Confirmed)

    There's a new teaser trailer for the "Twin Peaks" reboot, and it's as eerie as you'd expect

    http://hellogiggles.com/new-teaser-trailer-twin-peaks-reboot/

     

    When it was announced that the supernatural cult classic of the ’90s, Twin Peaks, was returning to Showtime in 2017, we, frankly, couldn’t even deal. The murder mystery, born from the creative genius of David Lynch, left us with so many question when the series ended after two seasons. The final episode originally aired in 1991 — and now, after over two decades — the fates of Agent Cooper, Laura Palmer, Audrey Horne, and more may finally be known.

    In true Twin Peaks fashion, we still don’t know much about the reboot. Teasers have been perfectly creepy but barely informative — which is just the way we like it. David Lynch is still in charge (after some back and forth), most of our favorite characters are returning to the series, Sky Ferreira, Eddie Vedder, and Trent Reznor are also in the reboot, and brilliant composer, Angelo Badalamenti, will be scoring the series once more.

    And that brings us to the new Twin Peaks reboot teaser that was released today. Badalamenti plays the iconic theme songs on the piano; the background is pitch black. Slowly, an image of Laura Palmer’s face fades into view.

    That’s all the striking minute-long clip needs to convey the eerie mystery and unsettling drama that made Twin Peaks legendary. We are desperate for the premiere!

    Sky Atlantic Italy Announces May 2017 Premiere For The New Twin Peaks

    http://welcometotwinpeaks.com/news/sky-atlantic-italy-may-2017-twin-peaks/

    This is the kind of announcement that makes you wish you spoke a little Italian!

    At Sky Atlantic HD’s upfront in Milan on September 14, the Italian TV channel presented their 2016-2017 television season. One of the company’s proud announcements included a premiere date for the long-anticipated new season of Twin Peaks, which it acquired back in January.

    David Linch torna a Twin Peaks e con lui buona parte del cast originale che ha recitato nelle prime due stagioni degli anni Novanta per la nuovissima TWIN PEAKS 3 in onda nel mese di maggio: Kyle MacLachlan, Sherilyn Fenn, Sheryl Lee e David Duchovny, ma ci saranno anche moltissimi nuovi attori come Monica Bellucci, Jim Belushi, Naomi Watts, Tim Roth, Michael Cera, Laura Dern, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Amanda Seyfried, e musicisti come Trent Reznor e Eddie Vedder.

    Let’s just translate the most important part while deducing the year from the context of the news:

    May 2017!

    Coming from the Italy branch, it’s unknown whether this air date also applies to Sky Atlantic’s channels in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany and Austria.

    May 2017 corresponds with Showtime’s projected premiere in next year’s second quarter, although the series’ original home may want to lead the parade by premiering Twin Peaks sooner than its partner networks. One Sky Upfront attendee even overheard January 2017 for the U.S. premiere, but don’t let that rumor get you too excited yet. Either way, here’s looking at you, Showtime!

    Meanwhile, Sky Atlantic HD already aired reruns of the first two seasons and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me.

    WE HAVE THE MONTH! (EDIT - THIS COULD BE WRONG)

    "Season 3 of Twin Peaks is scheduled to air in April 2017 on Showtime"

     
     
    Twin Peaks fans will be happy to learn that the third season has finished filming. They may be equally happy to hear that nothing about the new season, which comes 26 years after the second season ended, will be even remotely conventional. From the plot to the run times for the new Twin Peaks season, the Showtime panel at the Television Critics Association’s summer press tour revealed that everything about the Twin Peaks revival will be unconventional.
     

    The TCA event granted Twin Peaks fans a look at the process of giving the cult favorite series a third season, with Showtime President and CEO David Nevins detailing the behind-the-scenes details at the summer press tour, reports Bloody Disgusting. Possibly more exciting for fans than any other detail is the news that David Lynch directed the episodes himself. Beyond that, Lynch is also personally editing the episodes and providing the musical scores for the scenes.

    While many, including Showtime executives, are wondering just what that will mean for Twin Peaks, Gary Levine, who is Showtime’s President of Programming, says it will all remain a mystery, until Twin Peaks premieres.

    “It’s a process of seeing how it evolved. That organism continues to evolve. Until [Lynch has] figured that out and shows it to us, we actually won’t know.”

     

    Nevins adds that everything about Twin Peaks will be unpredictable, right down to the run times. Fans expecting the new Twin Peaks episodes to fit into traditional 30- or 60-minute time blocks may be unsettled a bit by the actual experience. Each episode for the third season of Twin Peaks will be a unique event in itself.

    “Everything about Twin Peaks is going to be unconventional. Unconventional in the handling of it and how we put it out in the world and how we market it. I want to really embrace the unusualness of it,” said the Showtime CEO. “I think it is quite possible we’re not going to do a traditional release pattern. I don’t know exactly what that means yet. I’ve had a couple conversations with David but I want to embrace the unexpectedness of it. I could definitely see longer episodes or this question of how do we release it linearly and how do we release it for people who want to stream it. There may be some difference between the two. There’s all sorts of possibilities.”

     

    Filming Twin Peaks has been a much more fluid experience than with most episodic television, with David Lynch working out his own schedule, so as Slash Film reveals, the season hasn’t even been divided into individual episodes yet. That will come with the editing process, but regardless of how Twin Peaks is ultimately released, Showtime executives are in agreement on one thing: Twin Peaks will not be premiere as one bulk release for binge watching as other streaming services have done in the past.

     

    That may come as bad news for Twin Peaks fans too eager for Season 3 to wait for each episode on a weekly basis, but Levine says Lynch has done an amazing job, and it will definitely be well worth the wait. The fact that Levine is making these assertions based solely on the dailies may be a testament to the quality and dedication of everyone involved.

     

    “In watching a little bit of dailies of Twin Peaks, we were both just instantly transported. It was really amazing. These weren’t even cut scenes. David was happy to share some of it with us. This is obviously a very unique partnership on this series and he’s earned that right. Boy, just looking at the dailies, the tone, the feel. It is so singular, we can’t wait to show it to the world.”

     

    Season 3 of Twin Peaks is scheduled to air in April 2017 on Showtime.

    Eddie Vedder Is Visiting ‘Twin Peaks’ And He’s Bringing A New Song With Him

    http://uproxx.com/music/eddie-vedder-twin-peaks/

    No clichés sum up the Pacific Northwest like Pearl Jam, flannel, and coffee. I’m pretty sure that’s the official state motto of Washington: “Give me Pearl Jam, flannel, and coffee, or give me death.” And now, the trio will combine into a rain-soaked Voltron in 2017 when Eddie Vedder appears on Showtime’s coffee-loving Twin Peaks revival. (I assume he, or literally every other character, will be wearing flannel.) The “Angel” singer is one of 217 people in the cast list, which includes other notable, WTF names like Jim Belushi, Michael Cera, Trent Reznor, and Amanda Seyfried (that’s also my dream dinner party).

    Unlike Belushi, who inconsiderately came to Twin Peaks empty-handed (minus the “gift” he left in the bathroom), Vedder brought a present with him: an original song for the soundtrack! He debuted “Out of Sand” during a solo set at the Ohana Music Festival over the weekend; the chorus goes, “But now it’s gone, gone / And I am who I am / Who I was I will never be again / Running out of sand.” Agent “BOB” Cooper really relates to the “who I was” line.

    Anyway, it’s official: David Lynch prefers Pearl Jam to Soundgarden. I’m glad that decades old argument was finally settled.

    That Poppy - singer/art installation/alternate reality game

    in MY WORLD

    Posted

    That Poppy. One of the most interesting "pop singers" out there. She is a legit singer but also makes very bizzare/creepy YouTube videos that satirizes popular/internet culture and conspiracy theorists. Keep in mind that The Poppy (or just Poppy for short) is a character. So here is one of her music videos, some of her YouTube videos, and a small explanation of who and what Poppy is. This shit has been tap dancing in my head for over a week.

    ‘Twin Peaks’ 2017 Episodes Run Over 60 Minutes or Release Different Streaming Versions [TCA 2016]

    Near the beginning of his introduction to the Television Critics Association, Showtime Networks Inc. President and CEO David Nevins was discussing episode counts for his original series. Of the upcoming Twin Peaks, he said, “We don’t even know for sure how many episodes there will be.”

    Showtime had a little bit to share with the TCA from 2017’s Twin Peaks return. A clip package featured actors behind the scenes describing vaguely how surprising and true to the original series it is, but no footage. We did see them unveil the old “Welcome to Twin Peaks” sign, and a group of suits led by James Marshall walking down the street. 

    Nevins confirmed that filming has wrapped on Twin Peaks and David Lynch is editing the series. He promised a premiere in the first half of 2017. As for episode count, President of Programming Gary Levine explained why they have not finalized it.

    “It is a fluid process,” Levine said. “David Lynch who is doing it all, he co-wrote with Mark [Frost], he directed every episode, he’s editing every episode, scoring every episode. It’s a process of seeing how it evolved. That organism continues to evolve. Until he’s figured that out and shows it to us, we actually won’t know.”

    Episodes won’t have to conclude within 60 minutes either. On Showtime, episodes could run longer. After the panel, Levins spoke with reporters further about how Twin Peaks might air, saying he’s open to changing the standard length of a show.

     

    “I’m definitely open,” Nevins said. “Everything about Twin Peaks is going to be unconventional. Unconventional in the handling of it and how we put it out in the world and how we market it. I want to really embrace the unusualness of it. I think it is quite possible we’re not going to do a traditional release pattern. I don’t know exactly what that means yet. I’ve had a couple conversations with David but I want to embrace the unexpectedness of it. I could definitely see longer episodes or this question of how do we release it linearly and how do we release it for people who want to stream it. There may be some difference between the two. There’s all sorts of possibilities.”

    He is not, he said, considering releasing the entire season at once like streaming series do. According to Nevins, he accepted the series based on two scripts but did see the complete season script before production began. Levine added that the season-long script was not divided into episodes.

    “David Lynch personally hand-carried binders that were yea thick with combined efforts of their writing,” Levine said. “It was never a prescribed number of episodes in that way and continues to evolve through the filming and editing process.”

    Although they have not released any clips, the executives have begun to see footage. “We’re about to start seeing actually cut footage which is obviously more meaningful than dailies,” Nevins said.

    Levine added, “In watching a little bit of dailies of Twin Peaks, we were both just instantly transported. It was really amazing. These weren’t even cut scenes. David was happy to share some of it with us. This is obviously a very unique partnership on this series and he’s earned that right. Boy, just looking at the dailies, the tone, the feel. It is so singular, we can’t wait to show it to the world.”

    After the panel, Levins described the footage in a bit more detail. “Masterful,” Nevins said. “It’s really gorgeous and it has that feeling of sort of unsettling, eerie mystery but also stuff that’s really funny. I think it’s got a real sense of incredible specificity of Lynch’s characters.”

    Nevins said he speaks with Lynch “every week or two.”

    More announcements on Showtime’s new series and renewals to follow on /Film.

    Trainspotting 2 - trailer

    in SEEN THAT MOVIE TOO

    Posted · Edited by Jabberwocky

    Twenty-one years after the release of his breakthrough hit, director Danny Boyle reunites with the cast of Trainspotting for T2, to be released in the UK on 27 January 2017 and in the US a week later. In this first look at footage from the new film, Renton (Ewan McGregor), Spud (Ewen Bremner), Sick Boy (Jonny Lee Miller) and Begbie (Robert Carlyle) are glimpsed in a echo of a scene from the original, standing on a platform as a train trundles through, this time yet more weathered, as Iggy Pop’s Lust for Life plays in the background

     

    I loved the original back in the day and can't wait to see what will be done this time around.

    Sounds Like We’re Getting A Whole Bunch Of TWIN PEAKS Next Summer

    More TWIN PEAKS than you can shake a plastic-wrapped Homecoming Queen at.
     
     

    Ray Wise was at SDCC (San Diego Comic Con) over the weekend, where he appeared as part of a panel meant to promote DC Animation's The Killing Joke. While onstage, someone asked him about Showtime's forthcoming Twin Peaks reboot, and Wise had some not-so-new information to confirm for us.

    For starters, Wise says that Twin Peaks will return to television next summer. This hasn't yet been confirmed by Showtime, but it does fall in line with previous reports that had the show's return pegged for the "second quarter" of 2017. 

    Furthermore, Wise claimed that the show's heavily-hyped third season would consist of 18 new episodes, all of which will be directed by David Lynch. We already knew that Lynch's return to Twin Peaks would be a sprawling affair (remember that gigantic cast list from a while back?), but still: it's good hearing this from someone involved. Much like the premiere date situation, Showtime has not confirmed an episode count yet.

    We're still not convinced that returning to Twin Peaks is the best idea ever, but come on: this is 18 new hours' worth of David Lynch-directed material. No matter how you cut it, that's an event, and one we hope turns out to be one worth celebrating.

    Stay tuned for more on Showtime's Twin Peaks as it becomes available.
