and it isn't really out of their pocket in a literal sense, although stuff like that happens to: "you go over budget, it comes out of your salary." in this case showtime just wanted to negotiate for more of the residuals. i mean, i don't really think this is a who's-right-who's-wrong thing, it's just your normal tug of war over finance.

Watched Vertigo for the first time last night. It is a HUGE influence on Twin Peaks and while I'd seen parts of it before I hadn't seen it since watching all of Twin Peaks. James Stewart is basically Agent Cooper plus Frank Booth, a good-natured folksy do-gooder who is also a psychotic obsessive voyeur and abuser (and killer?) of women. Kim Novak portrays a stunning set of characters, switching everything including hair color at the halfway point. Sort of like Mulholland Drive, or the introduction of Laura's brunette cousin Maddy. I thought this scene in particular had a super strong Laura Palme vibe:

If David Lynch doesn't come back they should go through with the show, but limit it to spin offs of the terrible season two plots. E.g. A romantic comedy in which James, having concluded his soul searching after 25 years of biking across america, returns to Twin Peaks to re-open the long dormant Double R Diner (sexual tension ensues with the head waitress; regular patrons include involve mayor Dick Tremayne and Sherrif Little Nicky). Or a superhero show in which Nadine, having moved to a Gotham-esque city to support her fledgling drape-running business, fights crime by night. Etc.

Showtime president David Nevins confirmed the news minutes later.
“David will direct the whole thing which will total more than the originally announced nine hours, ” Nevins said

i wonder what was in those scripts that boosted the cost so high. maybe they were putting in too many wantonly destructive car chases? or lots of owl CGI?
― he quipped with heat (amateurist), Saturday, 16 May 2015 01:43 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, I'm really curious about that. Also sounds like Lynch was pushing this a little longer than the agreed upon hour count.
― circa1916, Saturday, 16 May 2015 02:14 (nine years ago) link
I'm imagining him saying this like all sweaty, running his hands through his hair, mumbling Oh God as he walks away.

must have wanted no constraints on episode length. would be great if some of them are like, 75 minutes for no reason

man, what if this turns out to be like 9+ hours of inland empire?
― he quipped with heat (amateurist), Saturday, 16 May 2015 02:55 (nine years ago) link
Pretty much the greatest news. I was half expecting Inland Empire to be the end as far as long form movie/tv/whatever is concerned. Really excited to see how his current sensibilities mesh with Frost and the Peaks world. One of THE great filmmakers at the tail end of his career getting a 9+ hour opus. If he's still capable of doing the things he did in IE, this will be something fucking else.
― circa1916, Saturday, 16 May 2015 03:01 (nine years ago) link
I mean is 9 hours of Inland Empire in Twin Peaks a bad thing?
Also can't forget Frost is involved and will likely temper him slightly.
― circa1916, Saturday, 16 May 2015 03:05 (nine years ago) link
dont think the lamestreamers who like twin peaks for the "damn good cup of coffee" quirky stuff are gonna be down with 9 hours of weird cinema terror
― Clay, Saturday, 16 May 2015 03:08 (nine years ago) link
^Also possibly why Showtime balked. IDK, the Frost element still makes me think this will only be a couple degrees more extreme than the Lynch directed episodes in the original run.
― circa1916, Saturday, 16 May 2015 03:18 (nine years ago) link
fire walk w me p extreme iirc
― tender is the late-night daypart (schlump), Saturday, 16 May 2015 03:18 (nine years ago) link
yeah, but it's just a warm-up for Inland Empire really, in terms of narrative, visual, and tonal disjunctions
― he quipped with heat (amateurist), Saturday, 16 May 2015 03:20 (nine years ago) link
fwwm is totally extreme and also all the people who are like "lol the lady has a log and the people eat pie luv this show" hate and ignore fwwm.
― Clay, Saturday, 16 May 2015 03:23 (nine years ago) link
Oh wow, yeah, I always thought FWWM was basically all Lynch's thing.

lol fair enough i'm just sayin if this is full inland empire the drop in ratings b/w episodes 1 and 2 could be pretty ugly
― Clay, Saturday, 16 May 2015 03:33 (nine years ago) link
This is great to hear right now since over the last two weeks I've been in full on twin peaks immersion mode, watching the whole series for the first time in about fifteen years, reading the secret diaries book which was actually pretty great, and listening to shit tons of the soundtrack stuff they released from the archive a few years ago. The show was a whole lot more emotional for me than last time I watched it. Gonna watch fire walk with me tonight.
― demonic mnevice (Jon Lewis), Saturday, 16 May 2015 03:33 (nine years ago) link
Frost and Engels credited as cowriters for FWWM. It seemed like such a full on Lynch thing, always thought it was just him running away with it. So yeah, this could totally be Inland Empire in the woods. Don't mind me, had a few beers and shooting the shit.
― circa1916, Saturday, 16 May 2015 03:36 (nine years ago) link
i love inland empire but i think david lynch has a decent understanding of what makes twin peaks work well
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 16 May 2015 03:38 (nine years ago) link
Inland Empire is cool plus I think ppl are a lot more open to weird anti-TV nowadays than ever before.
― ©Oz Quiz© (Adam Bruneau), Saturday, 16 May 2015 03:38 (nine years ago) link
xp
Debatable. FWWM is, uh, controversial. I'm a Lynch stan and I think it's one of his weakest films. Not a popular opinion around here, I know.
― circa1916, Saturday, 16 May 2015 03:58 (nine years ago) link
Showtime shows frequently look cheap and lousy, i'm more inclined to believe that they were initially stingy than that the guy who made Eraserhead demanded an extravagant production budget
― some dude, Saturday, 16 May 2015 04:29 (nine years ago) link
I trust that David will know what to do: follow his instincts. I really don't care how this turns out, it will be worth watching regardless.
