I really hate when they continue the storyline in other formats, as Buffy the Vampire Slayer in its 2 last seasons in comic-books... I don't even know if this kind of stuff has to be considered canonical...

I do too but I doubt that they're gonna tie up all of those loose ends in the book based upon how they didn't use "The Secret Diary Of Laura Palmer" and "The Autobiography Of FBI Agent Dale Cooper: My Life, My Tapes" books in the original show. This new one is going to be a coffee table book. Whether or not how much of it will canonical is anyone's guess but I'll refer to my above statement. Frost and some other artists tried many years ago (way before they started writing these new scripts) to do a series of comic books/graphic novels that would have been the continuation but Lynch vetoed it so no worries about them doing that angle in this new book and season.

Is it confirmed that she won't be back? I don't think she doesn't look like her anymore. She just has bloated lips, but she's still pretty sexy nowadays.

I don't know how will they continue the series 25 years after with all the paralyzed subplots. Ben Horne being her father, the explotion in the bank and the reason...  James' subplot.. and probably a lot more that i don't even remember

Yep. She's not returning but "Donna" may be. Lynch/Frost reached out to her but she told them no. The cast list I posted above is very accurate, per my source. As far as the paralyzed subplots is anybody's guess. Those may be explained in Mark Frost's "The Secret Lives Of Twin Peaks" book he was wrote and will release in later this year. There is a source on the Dugpa Forum who is involved directly in the day-to-day production and wouldn't know anything about promos or future plans beyond principal photography. But from what is being posted there is that the new series is going to be VERY interesting to say the least.

SPOILER: There was a long standing rumor that there was going to be a nuclear explosion in the new season. This weekend the source confirmed it but it's not going to be used as an ending to the season.

My God, legendary musicians are dropping left and right. I remember hearing EW&F (and alot of other funk records) back in the early 80's thanks to my brother's turntable.

SPOILER ALERT:

Location shooting news - Tom Sizemore, James Belushi and Kyle MacLachlan have been filming around a hospital for two nights outside and inside various wards, following other news of a shoot-out scene also being lensed in the LA area.

The hospital setting could most likely relate to Annie, since Heather Graham was very coy about her involvement in the new volume of Twin Peaks recently. Kyle also commented that we will surely hear about Annie

It's a shame Lara Flynn Boyle isn't returning, likely due to her not even looking like the same person anymore.

It's more or less the relationship between her and Lynch had turned sour after the show ended, thus why she wasn't in Fire Walk With Me. She was also a complete bitch on set, especially towards Sherilyn Fenn. She tied in well with Laura Palmer's arc but after the murder was solved and finding out Ben Horne was her real father in the series finale. I honestly don't think the Donna character is even nessecary anymore. And even if they were to bring back Donna I'd 10 times rather have Moira Kelly.

So pumped for this. Do you read the dugpa forum Jabberwocky?

Yep. It's where I get all of the news to post here. I have the same username there as i do here.

There is no coincidence why alot of rednecks and skinheads followed Pantera and everything post.

Naomi Watts & Tom Sizemore Join; David Lynch Reprising Role

I have learned that Naomi Watts is the latest big name to join David Lynch’s upcoming new installment of his groundbreaking 1990 supernatural mystery series Twin Peaks. No one is commenting, but I’ve learned that also joining the follow-up series for Showtime is Tom Sizemore. Additionally, Lynch, who is directing the new Twin Peaks installment from a script he co-wrote with fellow Twin Peaks co-creator Mark Frost, is rumored to be reprising his recurring role from the original series as FBI Regional Bureau Chief Gordon Cole.

We reported in October that Lynch had reached out to Watts, who got her break in his Mulholland Drive. She and Sizemore are joining other big-name new Twin Peaks additions including Laura Dern, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Amanda Seyfried.

There's a reason why 99.9% of Metal is all shite. Anyway, who gives a fuck, fat sweaty old greying greaser shouts 'white power', big deal.

Soap Scum looks like the kind of film that Henry Lee Lucas and Ottis Toole would be watching on their 8mm projector!

How long have you been making short films, Jabberwocky? It seems like a lot of hard work, just to do something filmed in a small space, and that's not to mention the effects, prep-time etc.

That's a new one LOL. I was just wanting to do something psychedelic with Soap Scum. The first short film I did (Hearts Are Always Killed - Chapter One) was back in 2006/2007 and was orginally a Alternate Reality Game so I it was divided into different parts like a puzzle piece. The game quickly fizzled out because it was too weird/difficult. One player I talked to after I quit the game said "this is something I'd rather watch than play" That film was done on a 40 dollar Sakar camera. But I just sat on it for almost a decade before I decided to re-edit it to tell a slightly different story which lead to wanting to do a second chapter. So in essence it's been maybe a year since I started bearing down to do short films again.

I do everything all by myself because it's all in my head of what I want it to look like. Nothing is written down. It took about 3 nights to do the new Hearts chapter. Editing is the bigger obstacle than the acting, setting up shots, etc. Some of the effects are effects I do with Sony Vegas Pro and some are practical effects. All I know is everybody I have shown the new Hearts short to tell me it really creeps them out, that the longer it lasts it just keeps filling them with dread, they feel clausterphobic. I have so many ideas in my head, most disconnected, that I want to see how far I can push the Hearts series. Each chapter being around 13 minutes long.

I write screenplays. In fact i blagged my way onto a degree course for Film using a screenplay for a short film based on one of Freuds case studies without having A levels. Fucked the course off though so bit of a waste of time really!

I really like em Jabber! Got a touch of Kenneth Anger about em. Soap Scum looks like a shape-shifting minge!

Thanks man. I've never written a screenplay, just short stories, and I have had zero formal training. In writing, film, and my music. I try not to imitate anybody but I've gotten different comparisons to other directors like Anger, Lynch, Waters, etc. Some I know of and some I don't. It's all cool with me in the end really. I made Soap Scum as a visual art piece to make it look like the image is being projected on the shower curtain.

I am a musician but also a film maker. I thought I woulsd share what I've done so far. Hope you enjoy. If any mods feel like deleting this go ahead

The REAL reason why David Lynch left Twin Peaks in April 2015.

This is a "out of left field" casting choice. Here is the link to the entire story but here is the intersting part.

http://www.ew.com/article/2016/01/13/twin-peaks-2017?utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link

Also: Sources tell us According to Jim star James Belushi has been added to the show’s cast, which reportedly also includes returning Peaks stars Sherilyn Fenn, Miguel Ferrer, Sheryl Lee, and Lynch regular Laura Dern, in addition to announced series star Kyle MacLachlan. Normally we’d be leading off with the new casting, but Showtime (via Lynch) has a policy of not confirming any Twin Peaks casting. “I would not hold my breath for an announcement of all the casting of Twin Peaks,” Nevins told reporters dryly. If true that Belushi’s on board it’s an interesting addition: the actor was in ABC’s miniseries Wild Palms, which was perceived by some as inspired by the success of Twin Peaks.

Does anybody knows if Heather Graham will be back?

No word yet. I hope she is though because she was very crucial to the Dale Cooper/Windom Earle/Black Lodge story arc. From what I gather there are non-disclosure agreements that everybody has signed. This is why even though Sherylin Fenn is back she can't make it official and is why she can only do the *wink wink, nudge nudge* on her Twitter page and only alude to returning. All of the news reports about new casting and older characters returning are from "sources" but nobody from Showtime/Lynch/Frost denies them as being false. MacLachlan is still being listed as the only officially announced cast member and Lynch will keep it that way as long as possible. They are doing their damndest to keep it all a secret which, to me, is a good thing. Announcing cast members is one thing but plot, scenarios, and all that are something I don't want spoiled.

Take note: Showtime’s Twin Peaks revival could be arriving sooner than expected.

“I’m excited to share that [Twin Peaks creator] David Lynch is more than halfway through shooting schedule, and it will premiere in the first half of 2017,” Showtime CEO David Nevins announced Tuesday at the Television Critics Association winter press tour. Prior to this announcement, the revival was expected to premiere “sometime in 2017.”

Twin Peaks, which aired on ABC from 1990 to 1991, followed FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (played by Kyle McLachlan) as he investigates the curious murder of a homecoming queen in the sleepy town of Twin Peaks, Wash.

Many of the cult drama’s original cast members are returning for the revival, including McLachlan and Sherilyn Fenn (as Audrey Horne). As TVLine exclusively reported, Laura Dern has also joined the cast — possibly the playing the infamous Diane.

The original line-up of The Smashing Pumpkins. It'll never happen.

So Diane will be revealed?

http://tvline.com/2016/01/09/laura-dern-twin-peaks-cast-showtime-revival/

“Diane, it’s 6:05 in the evening and… there are indications you’re about to be unmasked.”

Sources confirm to TVLine exclusively that Twin Peaks co-creator David Lynch has tapped his longtime muse, Laura Dern, to join the forthcoming Showtime revival in a pivotal role.

Details about Dern’s character are being kept under the tightest of wraps, but one tantalizing theory has the Oscar-nominated actress playing Agent Cooper’s never-before-seen secretary Diane. If true, that means Dern and Kyle MacLachlan would once again be paired as investigators, a super-cool nod to their roles in Lynch’s 1986 mystery noir Blue Velvet,

A Showtime rep declined to comment for this story.

Sherilyn Fenn Part of Twin Peaks Revival http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/01/09/sherilyn-fenn-part-of-twin-peaks-revival?

I thought they were doing more than 9 episodes though?

It will be 18 and I'm glad Sherilyn is back. Audrey is essential. I'd like to hear how she avoided dying when the bank blew up.

Megan Good is fit as fuck.

Take a look at her Fappening pics and you'll see just how juicy she is
